Taylor FAQs
Helpful answers for identifying Taylor products, choosing compatible parts, and using or maintaining the equipment correctly.
What Taylor products can I shop at Fresh Pool Supply?
Our Taylor selection includes pool and spa test kits, replacement reagents, comparators, test strips, specialty tests, and kit components. Use the listings above for current availability.
How do I choose the right Taylor pool test kit?
Choose a kit based on the sanitizer used and the water conditions you need to measure. Residential and professional users may also prefer different chlorine methods, testing ranges, case sizes, and replacement-reagent capacities.
What is the difference between Taylor K-2005 and K-2006 kits?
Both are comprehensive pool-water kits, but they use different chlorine-testing methods. The K-2005 uses a color-matching DPD comparator, while the K-2006 uses an FAS-DPD drop-count titration; follow the instructions for the exact kit version.
How do I find the correct Taylor replacement reagent?
Match the complete reagent number printed on the existing bottle and confirm the test-kit instructions. Similar names or colors do not guarantee that two reagents use the same concentration or test procedure.
Can I substitute one Taylor reagent for another?
Do not substitute unless Taylor documentation specifically identifies the reagents as interchangeable. A different formulation or concentration can change the endpoint and produce an inaccurate result.
How should Taylor reagents be stored?
Keep reagents tightly capped in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, freezing temperatures, moisture, and chemical fumes. Follow the storage and replacement guidance printed on the label or kit instructions.
Why should the water sample size be exact?
Taylor drop-count tests calculate results from a specified sample volume. Using the wrong fill line changes the relationship between drops and concentration, which can produce an incorrect reading.
What causes inconsistent color-comparison results?
Lighting, sample contamination, faded comparator standards, old reagents, an incorrect sample size, or improper mixing can affect the result. Test in good neutral light and follow the exact sequence and timing in the Taylor procedure.
When should Taylor test-kit components be replaced?
Replace damaged, contaminated, faded, leaking, or expired components and any reagent that no longer performs as expected. Keep replacement caps, droppers, cells, and comparators matched to the original kit.
Where can I find Taylor testing instructions and technical help?
Taylor provides product instructions, testing guides, safety data sheets, certificates, and technical-support resources online. Use the procedure for the exact kit and reagent numbers shown on your equipment.
