Taylor Trouble Shooting Kit
Includes all necessary tools to accurately test for:
- Free/Total/Combined Chlorine
- Total Bromine
- Ph Level
- Acid Demand
- Total Alkalinity
Includes the following items:
- R-0001-A
- R-0002-A
- R-0003-A
- R-0007-A
- R-0008-A
- R-0009-A
- R-0014-A
- R-0015-A
- Comparator #9782
- Sample tube #4034
To test for Chlorine/Bromine:
- Rinse test cell and fill the left side of the comparator to the top mark with the water sample to be tested. Acquire the sample from at least 18 inches below the surface for accurate readings.
- Holding the bottle vertically, add 5 drops of R-0001 & R-0002 (A or C) to the left side. Cap the sample cell and invert to mix. Do not shake!!
- Match the color of the sample with the comparison standard on the comparator and record the value as ppm Free Chlorine/Total Bromine.
- For Total Chlorine, add 5 drops of R-0003 to the previous sample. Cap & Invert to mix. Do not shake!!
- Match the color of the sample with the comparison standard on the comparator and record the value as ppm Total Chlorine.
- Subtract free chlorine from total chlorine. Record as ppm Combined Chlorine.
- Rinse the cell after every test and store the kit in a cool, dark place.
To test the pH Level:
- Rinse the test cell and fill the right side to the top mark with the water sample to be tested. Acquire the sample from at least 18 inches below the surface for the most accurate reading.
- Holding the bottle vertically, add 5 drops of R-0014 (A or C) to the right side.
- Cap the sample cell and invert to mix. Do not shake!!
- Match the color of the sample with the comparison standard on the comparator and record the value.
- Rinse the cell after every test and store the kit in a cool, dark place.
Acid Demand Test:
- Use treated sample from pH test
- Add R-0015 dropwise. After each drop, count, cap and invert to mix, and compare with color standards until desired pH is matched. Record number of drops needed and contact us for recommendations.
Total Alkalinity (TA) Test:
- Rinse and fill the sample tube (#9198 or #4034) to the 25 mL mark with water to be tested.
- Add 2 drops of R-0007. Swirl to mix.
- Add 5 drops of R-0008 Swirl to mix. Sample will turn green.
- Add R-0009 dropwise, swirling and counting after each drop until color changes from green to red.
- Multiply drops by 10. Record as ppm Total Alkalinity.
**WHEN HIGH TA IS ANTICIPATED: USE 10mL SAMPLE, 1 DROP R-0007, 3 DROPS R-0008, AND MULTIPLY DROPS BY 25**
