Specifications
- Manufacturer: Taylor Technologies
- Part Number: R-0002-A

Usage Instructions
Use R-0002-A in the small sample tube (typically 9 mL) when testing for free chlorine or total chlorine. Add the appropriate number of drops according to your Taylor kit’s instructions (often 5 drops after DPD #1), then mix and compare the water color against the kit’s standard chart or comparator block. For total chlorine, follow with DPD #3 reagent as directed. Always test under natural light and ensure clean sampling for best accuracy.
Why It Matters
Maintaining correct chlorine (or bromine) levels is crucial for water sanitation and swimmer safety. Using the correct reagent — such as R-0002-A — ensures that your test results reflect actual sanitizer concentration, helping you adjust dosing correctly and avoid over- or under-treating your pool or spa water.
