Taylor Cyanuric Acid Reagent, 1 gal Bottle | R-0013-G

The Taylor Cyanuric Acid Reagent, 1 Gallon (R-0013-G) is a liquid reagent designed for use in Taylor pool and spa test kits to measure cyanuric acid (CYA) levels in water. CYA acts as a stabilizer for chlorine, protecting it from degradation by UV light, thereby enhancing its effectiveness.

Taylor formulates its reagents to remain effective for at least one year, with only very few exceptions (molybdenum indicator in liquid form is one; after four months old it should be tested against a standard periodically). As a general precaution, replace all reagents more than one year old, or at the beginning of a new testing season.

Features and Benefits:

• Storing reagents at a consistent temperature in the range if 36°–85°F (2°–29°C); extreme temperature fluctuation, say from a refrigerator to a hot car trunk, causes reagents to deteriorate
• Keeping them out of prolonged direct sunlight. (Note: their brown plastic bottles help protect very light-sensitive reagents.)
• Segregating reagents from containers of treatment chemicals
• Replacing caps immediately and tightening them carefully so that exposure to air and humidity is limited
• Avoiding switching bottle caps, placing bottle caps on soiled surfaces, repouring reagents into contaminated containers, or touching test strip pads
