Taylor Technologies K-2005 DPD 9-in-1 Pool Test Kit — Complete Comparator with 13 Reagents

The Taylor Technologies K-2005 DPD 9-in-1 Complete Pool Test Kit is a portable, professional-grade kit that measures free and total chlorine, bromine, pH, acid/base demand, total alkalinity, calcium hardness and cyanuric acid for pools and spas.

Keep pool and spa water balanced and swimmer-safe with a comprehensive, easy-to-use test kit from Taylor Technologies, Inc. The K-2005 DPD kit bundles a durable comparator, 13 reagents, and clear instructions so both homeowners and technicians can perform nine essential chemical checks on in-ground pools, above-ground pools, hot tubs, and spas. Designed and manufactured in the USA, this kit gives rapid, reproducible results so you can take action quickly to maintain clear water.

How fast and accurate are the K-2005 DPD test results?

Results are obtained in seconds to a few minutes depending on the parameter, using color-matching in the comparator. Taylor’s reagents are formulated for reliable readings and the kit is intended for routine monitoring rather than laboratory analysis.

• DPD chemistry for free and total chlorine and bromine—industry-standard method
• Clear color comparator reduces guesswork for quick decisions
• Instructions with pictograms simplify correct reagent dosing and timing

What water parameters does this 9-way kit measure and why they matter?

The K-2005 tests nine key indicators that together describe sanitization, corrosivity, scaling potential, and sunlight protection. Monitoring these values helps you maintain comfort, protect equipment, and optimize sanitizer performance.

• Free & total chlorine and total bromine — checks sanitizer levels and combined chlorine
• pH plus acid and base demand — shows how much acid or base needed to correct pH
• Total alkalinity and calcium hardness — prevents corrosion and scaling
• Cyanuric acid (CYA) — measures stabilizer concentration for outdoor pools

How do you use and maintain the kit for consistent results?

Collect a sample with the included comparator, add the specified reagent(s), then compare colors to the provided chart. Store reagents in their labeled bottles, keep them capped, and replace them when expired or depleted to preserve accuracy.

• Follow reagent order and timing exactly for reproducible readings
• Replace individual reagents as needed rather than the whole kit
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to extend reagent life

What makes Taylor Technologies’ kit a professional choice for homeowners and technicians?

Taylor has produced water-testing solutions since 1930; the K-2005 combines that legacy with a compact, user-friendly layout. Components meet professional expectations while instructions and pictograms keep testing accessible to non-experts.

• Engineered and manufactured in the USA for quality and consistency
• Durable storage case keeps comparator and reagents organized on-site
• Replacement reagents available seasonally to extend kit lifespan

Who is this for? The Taylor K-2005 DPD 9-in-1 kit is ideal for pool and spa owners who want complete control over water chemistry without specialized equipment, and for service professionals who need a portable, trusted test solution. If you manage a residential pool, hot tub, or small commercial system and value accurate, repeatable testing with easy reagent replacement, this kit provides the core measurements needed to keep water clear and equipment protected.
