Taylor Residential 3-Way Test Kit, K-1001-12

Taylor K-1001-12 Residential Basic 3-Way Test Kit for Free Chlorine .5-5 ppm/Bromine 1-10 ppm/pH DPD

Taylor K‑1001-12 Residential 3‑Way DPD Test Kit, a popular test kit designed to help pool and spa owners easily monitor free chlorine, bromine, and pH levels using DPD and Phenol Red reagents.

Overview

The Taylor K‑1001-12 is part of Taylor’s Residential Series test kits. It is engineered for low bather load environments—making it ideal for homeowners who test their water periodically between service visits. The kit is designed to provide accurate readings for three key water quality parameters:

• Free Chlorine: 0.5–5.0 ppm

• Total Bromine: 1–10 ppm

• pH: 6.8–8.2

These ranges are typical for residential pool and spa applications, ensuring that water remains balanced and safe.

Key Features & Benefits

• User-Friendly Design: The kit features color‐coded, pre‐measured reagents (.75 oz. each) that are housed in a durable, injection-molded plastic case—designed to withstand repeated use over multiple seasons.

• Accurate & Reliable: Utilizing the DPD method for chlorine and bromine and Phenol Red for pH, the test kit provides clear, rapid color changes that make it easy to compare to the enclosed printed-color standards. This helps ensure the results are accurate and consistent.

• Comprehensive Testing: With three separate tests in one kit, users can quickly assess the chemical balance of their pool water—ensuring that the water remains within optimal ranges to prevent algae growth, irritation, or equipment issues.

• Cost-Effective: Designed for residential applications, the kit is both affordable and reliable, reducing the need for frequent professional testing while empowering pool owners to take charge of their water quality.

• Multilingual Options: Available in English as K‑1001-12, with French (K‑1001F-12) and Spanish (K‑1001S-12) versions also offered, the kit is accessible for a variety of users.

How It Works

1. Sample Collection: Fill the provided test vials with a specified volume of water as directed in the kit instructions.

2. Reagent Addition: Add the color-coded DPD reagents for free chlorine and bromine testing. For pH, the kit uses Phenol Red reagent—each reagent is used to develop a color reaction that corresponds to a specific range.

3. Color Comparison: After the reagents have completely reacted with the pool water, match the resulting color against the printed-color standards provided with the kit.

4. Record Results: Use the color match to determine the current free chlorine, total bromine, and pH levels in your pool water. These readings will help you adjust your chemical dosing to maintain balanced and safe water.

Applications & Considerations

• Residential Water Testing: Ideally suited for pool and spa owners who prefer to monitor water balance themselves between professional service visits.

• Routine Maintenance: By regularly using the K‑1001-12 test kit, homeowners can detect and address changes in water chemistry—ensuring that proper sanitizer levels are maintained and that pH remains stable.

• Ease of Use: The kit is designed with user convenience in mind—each reagent is pre-measured and the case is robust enough to allow for use season after season.

In summary, the Taylor K‑1001-12 Residential 3‑Way DPD Test Kit is a trusted tool for ensuring proper water balance in residential pools and spas. It provides an accurate, easy-to-use method for testing free chlorine, bromine, and pH, helping homeowners maintain clear, healthy water.
