Water analyzer kit for your Taylor K-2105 pools

The K-2105 water analyzer kit will analyze all the parameters of your pool water, such as:

• free chlorine.
• Total chlorine.
• Bromine (liquid DPD).
• pH.
• Acid demand.
• Base demand.
• Total alkalinity.
• Calcium hardness.
• Cyanuric acid.

It has three types of methods to proceed with the analysis of your pool water.

• Chlorimetry has a visual chlorine/bromine/pH comparator.
• With the drop test you can analyze alkalinity / calcium hardness.
• Visual measurement of cyanuric acid turbidity.

Below we detail the instructions for use with all the recommended parameters:

Chlorine Analysis (Free, combined and total)

1- First rinse and fill the small comparator cuvette with the water to be analyzed up to the 9 ml mark.

2- Later add 5 drops of R-0001 and 5 drops of R-0002. Cover and invert to mix.

3- Compare the color with the CL* standard colors. The result is parts per million (ppm) of free chlorine (CL).

4- Add 5 drops of R-0003 and cover again and invert to mix.

5- Compare the color immediately, the result is ppm of total chlorine (TC).

6- Subtract free chlorine from total chlorine. The total result obtained is ppm of combined chlorine (CC). Formula: CT-CL=CC.

Total bromine analysis

1- First rinse and fill the small comparator cuvette with the water to be analyzed up to the 9 ml mark.

2- Later add 5 drops of R-0001 and 5 drops of R-0002. Cover and invert to mix.

3- Compare the color with the standard Br* colors. The result obtained is parts per million (ppm) of total bromine.

* If the color is outside the values ​​on the scale, you must repeat the analysis by diluting it with 4.5 mL of distilled or deionized water up to the 9 mL mark. Multiply the reading by 2 to obtain the approximate value of both chlorine and bromine. If the color is still out of scale, you will have to repeat the analysis by diluting it with 1.8 mL of distilled water up to the 9 mL mark. Multiply the reading by 5 again to obtain the approximate value of chlorine or bromine.

pH analysis

1- First rinse and fill the pH cuvette up to the 44 mL mark with the water to be analyzed.

2- Later add 5 drops of R-0004. Cover and invert to mix.

3- Compare the color with the values ​​of the standard and later record the result as pH units. If the color is between two values, the pH is the average of the two, to lower the pH you will first have to see the Acid demand test. To increase the pH you will first have to see the Base demand test.

Acid demand test

1- Use the treated sample from the pH test.

2- Add R-0005 drop by drop, mixing after each drop until the desired pH is reached. Always looking at the treatment table.

Base demand test

1- Use the treated sample from the pH test.

2- Add R-0006 drop by drop, mixing after each drop until it reaches the desired pH. Always looking at the treatment table.

Total Alkalinity Analysis

1- First rinse and fill the large comparator cuvette up to the 25 mL mark with the water to be analyzed.

2- Subsequently add 2 drops of R-0007 (shake to mix) and another 5 drops of R-0008 (shake to mix). The sample will turn green.

3- Add R-0009 drop by drop, mixing and counting after each drop, until the color changes from green to red.

4- Multiply the number of drops added in step 4 by 10. Express the result as ppm of total alkalinity as calcium carbonate.

Calcium Hardness Analysis

1- First rinse and fill the large comparator cuvette up to the 25 mL mark with the water to be analyzed.

2- Later add 20 drops of R-0010, then close and shake until mixed.

3- Add 5 drops of R-011L, then close and shake until mixed. The mixture will turn reddish in color.

4- Add R-0012 drop by drop, mixing each drop until the red color completely turns blue. Always count the added drops. Always keep the bottle upright when adding reagents.

5- Multiply the number of drops in the device 4 by 10, thus obtaining the Calcium Hardness expressed in ppm (part per million or gr/m3) as calcium carbon.

Cyanuric acid analysis

1- First fill the bottle (9191) up to the 7 mL mark with the water to be analyzed.
