Full Product Description +

The Taylor Base Demand Reagent R-0006-A is a 0.75 oz (22 mL) refill bottle used in Taylor 2000 Series™ high-range pool and spa test kits to determine how much base (alkalinity increaser) is required to raise pool water pH to the proper level. This reagent is a key component of the Base Demand Test, which helps diagnose and correct low pH conditions accurately.

When pool water pH is too low, it can lead to corrosive conditions, equipment damage, and swimmer discomfort. The base demand test allows pool professionals and homeowners to calculate precise chemical dosages rather than relying on guesswork. Replacing depleted or expired reagents ensures accurate testing results and proper water balance decisions.

Manufactured by Taylor Technologies, this reagent meets strict quality standards for accuracy, consistency, and reliability.


Why the Base Demand Reagent Matters

Accurate pH correction starts with proper testing.

Why this matters:

  • Determines exact amount of base needed to raise pH

  • Prevents overcorrection and chemical waste

  • Protects pool surfaces and equipment from corrosion

  • Improves swimmer comfort and water balance

  • Ensures accurate results in high-range test kits

Old or missing reagents can lead to inaccurate dosing and unstable water chemistry.


Designed for Taylor 2000 Series Test Kits

The R-0006-A Base Demand Reagent is designed specifically for use with Taylor 2000 Series™ (high-range) pool and spa test kits. It is not interchangeable with reagents used in other Taylor kit series unless specified by the manufacturer.

Always verify reagent compatibility with your specific test kit.


High-Quality, Lab-Grade Formulation

Taylor reagents are produced using controlled formulations to ensure consistent titration response and dependable test results. The convenient dropper bottle allows precise drop-by-drop dosing during testing, improving accuracy and repeatability.

For best performance, reagents should be stored in a cool, dry location and replaced periodically according to Taylor’s recommendations.


Usage & Service Notes

For best results:

  • Use only with compatible Taylor 2000 Series test kits

  • Follow test kit instructions carefully

  • Count drops accurately during the base demand test

  • Replace reagent if expired, contaminated, or discolored

  • Store tightly sealed away from heat and sunlight

Routine reagent replacement is essential for reliable water testing.
