This Chlorine Reagent Pack is for use with the Taylor TTi 2000 Colorimeter (sold separately). It measures levels of free and total chlorine. Proper chlorine balance helps to maintain water, allowing for a safe and clean swimming environment. Easy to follow instructions allow for hassle free testing. 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.
