The 2000 Series™ was designed to permit users to build up their test kits in a stepwise fashion as their testing needs grow without having to purchase duplicate components. The family of products includes the Starter™, Test 4™, Complete™, Service Complete™, and Pool Inspector™ models. For a complete description of each kit, see below.

All cases in the 2000 Series are molded of sea-blue polypropylene and designed to withstand the rigors of several seasons’ worth of testing. Ridges on the edges will appeal to retailers who wish to stack the kits for display. This K-2005C kit is a service-size cases holding 2 oz. bottles feature handles for easy transport.

The heart of any test kit is the comparator block, used for obtaining the water sample, mixing the reagents, and matching colors. Ours are the finest available. Note the tabbed caps which are easy to remove; raised fill marks to help ensure proper test volumes; frosted backing for accurate readings; and dilution guides that make dealing with unusually high concentrations a breeze.

Several of the kits in this series feature FAS-DPD drop tests, which can measure free and combined chlorine directly as low as 0.2 ppm. The reading is made by noting a distinct change from vibrant pink to colorless in the treated water sample. This method is also beneficial when testing samples with high levels of sanitizer because there is no need to interpret close shades of pink—and a boon for colorblind users too.

All kits include a copy of Pool & Spa Water Chemistry: A Testing & Treatment Guide. Written by experts in water chemistry, this waterproof 64-page booklet (in English or Spanish) contains information about sanitation and water balance, as well as tables for water treatment. Complete and Service Complete kits also contain Taylor’s unique Watergram® for quick water balance calculations.

Top-notch chemistry and easy-to-follow instructions make the 2000 Series the perfect choice for service technicians, public and semi-public pool operators, environmental health specialists, and do-it-yourself consumers.

USER BENEFITS

• Reagents dispense completely–no waiting for tablets to dissolve.

• Printed-color standards, sealed in plastic for protection against water, chemicals, and scratches, provide reliable color matches.

• Waterproof instructions are printed on plastic-impregnated paper that resists fading and tearing.

• Custom-molded, durable plastic cases provide safe storage for all tests.

• Proven chemistries are based on Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, APHA, Washington, DC, and/or American Society for Testing and Materials, ASTM, Philadelphia, PA. Some methods use proprietary chemistry developed by Taylor Technologies.

All reagents have a shelf life, whether they are liquids, powders, crystals, tablets, or test-strip pads. If kept dry, powders and crystals are very stable; acids are also long lived. Date of manufacture is not the controlling factor when it comes to shelf life—storage conditions are more important. As with all perishables, reagents are sensitive to environmental influences and will last longer under controlled conditions.

To this end, we recommend:

Storing reagents at a consistent temperature in the range of 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.

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/b>.
