Taylor R-0860-A Copper Reagent #1 - 0.75 Ounce

Precise Copper Testing for Clear, Balanced Pool and Spa Water

Taylor R-0860-A Copper Reagent #1 is the first reagent in Taylor Technologies’ copper testing protocol. Supplied in a 0.75-ounce bottle, it works in tandem with Copper Reagent #2 to determine copper levels in pool and spa water as part of standard water chemistry testing. Use this reagent within Taylor test kits to monitor copper concentration, prevent staining, and maintain proper metal balance as part of routine maintenance.

Construction, Compatibility and Integration

R-0860-A is a chemical reagent designed for use with the Taylor copper test kit family. It forms the first half of the two-reagent copper test protocol and is paired with Copper Reagent #2 to develop the colorimetric response that indicates copper concentration. The 0.75-ounce bottle is sized for regular testing cycles and fits standard test kit vials and dropper-style usage common in pool and spa testing workflows. This reagent is intended for use with pool and spa water chemistry systems that rely on accurate copper measurements to manage staining and metal balance.

Ideal For
