| Analyte | Description | Method/Chemistry | Standard/Equivalance |
|---|---|---|---|
| pH | Taylor pH tests provide pinpoint accuracy to help ensure balanced water for a clear and comfortable swimming experience. | Proprietary | 6.4, 6.8, 7.2, 7.8, 8.4 |
| Chlorine, Free | Free chlorine is the active form of chlorine available to disinfect water and eliminate contaminants. Taylor Free Chlorine tests provide precise measurements to ensure adequate levels for effective sanitization. | Proprietary | 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 10 ppm chlorine (Cl₂) |
| Alkalinity, Total | Total alkalinity represents the concentration of bicarbonates, carbonates, and hydroxides that buffer pH changes in water. This test determines alkalinity levels to ensure stability and prevent sudden fluctuations in pH. | Proprietary | 0, 40, 80, 120, 180, 240 ppm total alkalinity as CaCO₃ |
| Cyanuric Acid | Sunlight can strip chlorine of its effectiveness. Monitor chlorine stabilizer levels with Taylor Cyanuric Acid tests for optimal sanitization. | Proprietary | 0, 40, 70, 100, 150, 300 ppm CYA |
| Hardness, Total | Essential for balanced water and long-lasting equipment performance, this reagent measures the amount of calcium and magnesium in the water. | Proprietary | 0, 100, 200, 400, 800 ppm total hardness as CaCO₃ |
| Chlorine, Total | Total chlorine is the sum of free chlorine and combined chlorine, which includes chlorine that has already reacted with contaminants. This test accurately quantifies both forms to provide a comprehensive evaluation of chlorine presence in the water. | Proprietary | 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10 ppm chlorine (Cl₂) |
| Bromine, Total | For pools and spas that use bromine instead of chlorine, you can be certain there's enough disinfectant to keep the water clean. | Proprietary | 0, 1, 2, 4, 10, 20 ppm bromine (Br₂) |
