Taylor R-0008-C-12 Total Alkalinity (TA) Indicator Reagent – 2 oz Bottle
The Taylor R-0008-C-12 is the official Total Alkalinity indicator reagent for many of Taylor’s Complete™ pool and spa water test kits. It enables accurate titration of alkalinity levels — an essential part of maintaining balanced pool chemistry and preventing pH swings, scaling, or corrosion.
Key Features
- 2 oz dropper-bottle format — suitable for retail sales or bulk inventory usage.
- Used to measure total alkalinity (TA) in pools and spas as part of a full water chemistry test panel.
- Works alongside other Taylor reagents in Complete™ and professional kits to give a full picture of water balance (chlorine, pH, hardness, CYA, etc.).
- Precise titration performance — helps pool owners and service professionals determine exact alkalinity levels for accurate chemical adjustments.
- Ideal for use in residential and commercial pool maintenance, spa service, or retail replacement supply.

When & How to Use
Use R-0008-C-12 when performing a full water chemistry test with a Taylor Complete™ or similar test kit. Collect a water sample per kit instructions, then add the specified amount of R-0008 reagent to titrate alkalinity. Compare the resulting color change or endpoint with the kit’s instructions to determine the total alkalinity level. Adjust pool chemicals accordingly (alkalinity increasers or reducers) to keep TA in the recommended range and help stabilize pH and chlorine effectiveness.
Why It Matters
Total alkalinity is a critical component of balanced pool water chemistry. Proper TA levels help buffer pH, reduce the risk of sudden pH swings, improve sanitizer efficiency, and protect pool surfaces and equipment. With a precise reagent like R-0008-C-12, pool owners can maintain a stable, healthy aquatic environment and avoid issues like scale formation, corrosion, or uncomfortable water.
