Taylor R-0005-A Acid Demand Reagent – 0.75 oz

Taylor R-0005-A Acid Demand Reagent is a specialized liquid reagent used with Taylor 2000 Series pool and spa test kits to determine how much acid is required to lower pH to the proper range. Rather than guessing how much muriatic acid or dry acid to add, this reagent allows for precise, calculated pH correction based on actual water conditions.

Acid demand testing is an important step when pH levels are elevated. High pH can reduce chlorine effectiveness, contribute to scale formation, and cause cloudy water. By using R-0005-A after testing pH, pool owners and service professionals can accurately determine the correct acid dosage needed to restore balance without overcorrecting.

This reagent is commonly used during routine water balancing, startup, and troubleshooting when pH control needs to be precise and repeatable.

Why Acid Demand Testing Matters

Knowing how much acid to add prevents water chemistry problems.

Why this matters:

• Eliminates guesswork when lowering pH

• Prevents overcorrection and rapid pH swings

• Improves chlorine effectiveness

• Helps protect pool surfaces and equipment

• Supports consistent, balanced water chemistry

Adding acid without demand testing can lead to unstable water conditions that are harder to correct.

Designed for Taylor 2000 Series Test Kits

Taylor R-0005-A is formulated specifically for use with Taylor 2000 Series test kits and compatible acid demand testing procedures. After performing a standard pH test, drops of R-0005-A are added to determine the amount of acid required to reach the target pH.

Taylor reagents are known for accuracy and consistency, making them a trusted choice for pool service professionals, health departments, and commercial facilities. Using genuine Taylor reagents ensures reliable test results and proper chemical dosing.

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

Simple, Accurate Water Balancing Tool

Using R-0005-A allows for controlled pH adjustment rather than trial-and-error chemical additions. The test results directly correlate to acid dosage charts included with Taylor kits, making it easy to apply the correct amount of acid safely.

This reagent is ideal for:

• Routine pool and spa water balancing

• Diagnosing high pH conditions

• Preventing scale formation

• Professional service and maintenance programs

Accurate testing leads to safer water and reduced chemical waste.
