Full Product Description +

The Taylor R-0013-G Cyanuric Acid Reagent is a professional-grade testing reagent used to measure cyanuric acid (CYA) levels in swimming pool and spa water. Supplied in a one-gallon container, this reagent is designed for high-volume testing environments such as pool service routes, commercial facilities, health departments, and retail water testing stations.

Cyanuric acid, often referred to as stabilizer or conditioner, protects free chlorine from rapid degradation caused by sunlight. While proper CYA levels are essential for maintaining chlorine efficiency, excessive stabilizer can severely reduce sanitizer effectiveness. Accurate testing is critical to maintaining the correct balance and avoiding chlorine lock or persistent water clarity issues.

The R-0013-G reagent is used in conjunction with compatible Taylor test kits and testing procedures to provide reliable, repeatable cyanuric acid readings.


Why Cyanuric Acid Testing Matters

Cyanuric acid directly affects how chlorine performs in pool water.

Why this matters:

  • Ensures chlorine is protected from UV degradation

  • Prevents over-stabilization that reduces chlorine effectiveness

  • Helps diagnose high chlorine demand issues

  • Supports consistent water balance and clarity

  • Reduces unnecessary chemical adjustments

Without accurate CYA testing, pools may struggle with algae, cloudy water, or ineffective sanitation even when chlorine levels appear correct.


Designed for Professional & High-Volume Testing

Taylor R-0013-G is formulated specifically for use with Taylor cyanuric acid testing methods. The reagent reacts with the water sample to create turbidity, allowing the tester to determine stabilizer concentration using a view tube or compatible testing device.

Taylor reagents are trusted throughout the pool industry for accuracy and consistency. Using genuine Taylor reagents ensures proper chemical reactions and dependable test results. The gallon size is ideal for frequent testing and reduces the need for constant reagent replacement.

For best accuracy, reagents should be stored in a cool, dark environment and replaced according to Taylor’s recommended shelf life.


Efficient Solution for Service & Retail Use

The one-gallon container is well suited for:

  • Pool service professionals

  • Commercial and public pool facilities

  • Retail water testing stations

  • Training and educational environments

Accurate cyanuric acid testing allows for precise stabilizer management, improved chlorine efficiency, and better overall water quality control.
