Taylor DPD Powder Reagent, 0.25 lb (4 oz) | R‑0870‑J
The **Taylor R‑0870‑J** provides a full 0.25 lb (≈113 g) container of DPD reagent powder formulated for free and combined chlorine testing (FAS-DPD method) with Taylor test kits.
Key Features:
- Uses FAS/DPD method with reagents R‑0871 and R‑0003 to measure free and combined chlorine
- Large 4 oz supply—ideal for frequent testing at commercial or residential pools
- Very economical per-test cost when compared to smaller reagent bottles
- Off-white powder; clumping may occur over time but can be re‑crushed for reuse
Technical Specifications:
- Manufacturer: Taylor Technologies
- Part Number / SKU: R‑0870‑J
- Volume: 0.25 lb (≈113 g)
- Composition: ~60–65% potassium phosphate monobasic, 30–35% disodium phosphate, small amounts of EDTA, indicator dyes
- Storage: Keep dry at 36–85 °F (2–29 °C); reseal bottle promptly to limit humidity exposure
- Shelf Life: Recommended replacement after 6–12 months or when expiration approaches
How It Works:
- Measure two level scoops of R‑0870 and add to test tube with water sample.
- Observe color turn pink—drops of R‑0871 are added until clear; number of drops ÷ 2 gives free chlorine.
- Then add R‑0003 to re-pink the solution and again R‑0871 until clear—this second drop count ÷ 2 gives combined chlorine.
Benefits:
- Highly accurate free and combined chlorine testing—Taylor’s industry standard
- Large size provides many tests—ideal for service professionals
- Cost-efficient refill compared to individual reagent bottles
Pro Tip: If the powder clumps, crush gently before scooping to maintain accuracy. Always use a dry powder spoon and reseal tightly to preserve shelf life.
