Product Description
The Taylor R-0013-E Cyanuric Acid Reagent is a crucial component for maintaining safe and balanced pool or spa water. This 16 fluid ounce bottle is a direct replacement for depleted reagents found in various Taylor test kits (like the K-2005), providing an economical way to keep your testing supplies fully stocked.
Cyanuric acid (CYA) levels are vital for outdoor pools, as CYA shields chlorine from rapid degradation by the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays. The R-0013-E uses a reliable "turbidity" test method: when added to a water sample, it creates a precise cloudy solution that is measured against a viewing tube scale to determine the exact CYA concentration.
Key Performance Features
- Essential for Testing: Accurately measures cyanuric acid (stabilizer) levels to ensure effective sanitization and balanced water chemistry.
- Genuine Taylor Refill: Official R-0013-E reagent ensures compatibility and reliable results with all Taylor test kits.
- Cost-Effective Solution: A convenient pint-size bottle that is more economical than purchasing an entirely new testing kit.
- Reliable & Accurate: Taylor formulates its reagents to remain effective for at least one year when stored properly between 36°–85°F (2°–29°C).
- Easy-to-Use Method: Designed for use with standard drop-test kits and a viewing tube comparator.

Warnings and Disclaimers
- Irritant: May cause slight skin and eye irritation. Use safety glasses/goggles and general work gloves when handling.
- Storage: Keep container tightly capped and store out of direct sunlight in a cool, dry place (between 36°F–85°F).
- Contamination: Do not touch the dropper tip to the sample water or test cell to prevent cross-contamination of reagents.
- Expiration: Reagents have a shelf life of approximately one year and should be replaced annually for accurate results.
- Disposal: Do not dispose of test solutions in the pool or spa; follow local household hazardous waste guidelines.
Pro Tips
- Testing Procedure: The turbidity test requires mixing the reagent with pool water in a specific mixing bottle and pouring into a view tube until a black dot disappears.
- Optimal Lighting: Perform the test outdoors with your back to the sun for the best indirect light, which ensures a consistent reading.
- Accuracy: Proper CYA levels help maintain chlorine effectiveness and protect it from sunlight degradation.
- Dilution: If the initial test shows levels above 90 ppm, a dilution test procedure is required to get an accurate result (multiply the result by two).
