Taylor R-0013-E – Cyanuric Acid (CYA) Test Reagent
The Taylor R-0013-E reagent is used to test cyanuric acid (stabilizer) levels in pool and spa water — a key step in ensuring proper chlorine effectiveness and water chemistry balance.
Key Features
- Formulated specifically for measuring cyanuric acid (pool stabilizer) in water.
- Turbidimetric test: when added to water sample, it causes a reaction producing a fine precipitate proportional to CYA concentration — result is read against a comparator or scale.
- Designed for use with standard drop-test kits or complete water test kits that include CYA measurement.
- Provided in a convenient reagent bottle (size varies by suffix letter) for easy dosing.
Typical Applications
- Routine testing of cyanuric acid (stabilizer) in outdoor pools — necessary when using chlorine that degrades under sunlight.
- After heavy rain, water top-offs, or dilution events to confirm stabilizer levels are within safe range.
- Part of a full water-chemistry check alongside chlorine, pH, alkalinity, and hardness tests.
How to Use
- Collect a water sample at the correct depth (per manufacturer instructions).
- Add the prescribed number of drops of R-0013, then follow with any required mixing or buffer steps as directed by your test kit instructions.
- Observe the sample for precipitate formation and read the result using the comparator or scale provided in the test kit.
- Interpret the reading to find the cyanuric acid concentration (in ppm).
- Use results to adjust stabilizer treatment as needed to maintain ideal CYA levels (usually 30–50 ppm for most chlorine pools, per pool-care best practices).
Storage & Handling Tips
- Keep bottle tightly closed to prevent evaporation or contamination.
- Store at stable room temperature, away from direct sunlight and pool chemicals.
- Replace reagent before each swimming season or if the reagent bottle has passed its “best by” date to ensure accurate results.
