Product Overview

Calibrated dropper tip design delivers uniform drop volumes for accurate free chlorine color matching.

Taylor R-0002 DPD Reagent #2 pairs with R-0001 to measure free available chlorine across visual comparator blocks. Packaged under model R-0002-A in a 0.75 oz (.75OZ) dropper bottle, this reagent provides the exact chemistry required for standard colorimetric test sequences. Replacing testing chemistry annually prevents false readings caused by chemical degradation.
