Replacement bottle for salinity testing with Taylor pool test kit. I've been doing my own testing for a couple years and find that my results are much more consistent than I ever got at the pool store. I use a magnetic stirrer, which makes it easier when adding drops and looking for a color change. I find that the salinity sensor connected to my salt cell is somewhat temperature dependent. I check the salinity with my Taylor kit every now and then and especially with change of seasons to ensure that my salinity sensor is properly calibrated. Just don't get this reagent on your skin - even if you wash your hands, once you go into the sunlight you will develop brown spots wherever the liquid landed! One of the more pricey reagents, but worth it.

Have been using this along w other Taylor liquid testing products since I took over my pool maintenance from pool service 3-4 years ago. Have tried quicker/cheaper options- strips/digital meters, none are as accurate. Will use those if in a big hurry or for a ballpark number, but none are as accurate as this. Taylor really is the gold standard! (liquid ones- strips even from them, not nearly as reliable as these!)

This is part of our Taylor test kit, and is used as part of the test to measure the stabilizer level (CYA, or cyanuric acid). I trust the Taylor test chemicals, they're very accurate and easy to use.
