Supplied in a 2 oz drop-bottle, it is specifically designed for use with Taylor test kits and helps measure acid demand accurately. With corrosion hazard warnings listed in the SDS for acid contact and eye damage, proper handling and measurement are essential.\u003cbr data-end=\"609\" data-start=\"606\"\u003eBy adding this reagent drop-by-drop to a measured water sample until you reach the target pH or color endpoint, you can calculate the required dosing of acid for your entire pool or spa, improving water balance and clarity. This reagent is compatible with Taylor kit models that list R-0005, and it supports maintenance of optimal pool chemistry through clear testing methodology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"1009\" data-start=\"993\"\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-end=\"1796\" data-start=\"1010\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1176\" data-start=\"1010\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1176\" data-start=\"1012\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1048\" data-start=\"1012\"\u003ePrecise Acid Demand Measurement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Enables accurate determination of how much acid is needed to adjust pool or spa pH to safe levels using your Taylor test kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1290\" data-start=\"1177\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1290\" data-start=\"1179\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1207\" data-start=\"1179\"\u003e2-oz Drop-Bottle Format:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compact size for easy handling and dosing in routine pool maintenance schedules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1443\" data-start=\"1291\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1443\" data-start=\"1293\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1320\" data-start=\"1293\"\u003eTest Kit Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed specifically for use with Taylor test kits that reference reagent R-0005, ensuring direct fit and method-match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1633\" data-start=\"1444\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1633\" data-start=\"1446\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1474\" data-start=\"1446\"\u003eSafety \u0026amp; Handling-Rated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Listed in the SDS as corrosive to metals and causes serious skin and eye damage — using proper protective gear is key.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1633\" data-start=\"1444\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1633\" data-start=\"1446\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1673\" data-start=\"1636\"\u003eSupports Optimized Water Balance:\u003c\/strong\u003e By accurately measuring acid demand, you reduce over- or under-dosing, helping maintain cleaner, more stable pool water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"34\" data-end=\"56\"\u003eAdditional Info\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"57\" data-end=\"317\"\u003eNeed help understanding how to use the Taylor R-0005-C Acid Demand Reagent for your pool test kit?
