Taylor R-0006-C-12 Base Demand Reagent 6 – 2 oz Dropper Bottles (Case of 12)
The Taylor R-0006-C-12 is a case pack of Base Demand Reagent 6 used with Taylor comparator test kits to estimate how much base is needed to raise pH to the desired range. It’s commonly used with Taylor 2000 Series kits and other Taylor-style color comparator blocks that include the acid/base demand scale.
Key Features
- Base demand reagent used to determine how much pH increaser is needed
- Helps dial in pH adjustments more accurately than “guess and pour”
- 2 oz (60 mL) dropper bottles for easy dispensing and refills
- Case of 12 – ideal for service companies, retail inventory, or high-volume testing
- Compatible with many Taylor kits that use the acid/base demand comparator scale
What It’s Used For
- Base Demand Test: Estimates the amount of base (pH increaser) required to raise pH to the recommended range.
- Common when troubleshooting low pH, aggressive water, and when balancing after heavy rain or fresh fill water.

How to Use (General Overview)
- Test pH normally using your Taylor comparator (phenol red pH test).
- If pH is below target, add R-0006 drop-by-drop to the comparator cell, mixing between drops, until the color matches the desired pH on the comparator scale.
- Use your kit’s demand chart to convert the number of drops into the recommended amount of pH increaser for your pool volume.
- Always add chemicals in portions, circulate, then re-test to confirm results.
Compatibility Notes
- Designed for Taylor kits and comparators that include the base demand scale (commonly found in Taylor 2000 Series style kits).
- Reagent bottle sizes vary (A, C, etc.), but the function is the same—match your kit’s reagent number (R-0006) for compatibility.

Maintenance Tips
- Store reagents in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to help maintain accuracy.
- Keep caps tightly closed and avoid contaminating the dropper tip with pool/spa water.
- Hold the bottle straight up when dispensing drops for consistent drop size.
- Replace reagents that are old, heat-exposed, or producing inconsistent results.
