Product Overview

The Taylor Complete High-DPD Professional Test Kit K-2005-6 is a professional-grade pool and spa water testing kit designed for accurate, routine water chemistry analysis. Built for service technicians, pool operators, and serious pool owners, this Taylor 2000 Series Complete kit tests the key balance and sanitizer parameters needed to maintain clean, safe, and properly balanced water.

Using high-range DPD color-matching for chlorine and bromine, along with reliable drop-count titration testing for alkalinity and hardness, the K-2005-6 gives users a clear picture of pool or spa water condition before making chemical adjustments. The kit includes 0.75 oz reagent bottles and is designed for testing chlorine, bromine, pH, acid demand, base demand, total alkalinity, calcium hardness, and cyanuric acid.

Ideal For

Pool service professionals, commercial pool operators, pool maintenance companies, and homeowners who want a more complete water testing solution than basic strips or 2-way kits.

This kit is especially useful for routine pool maintenance, troubleshooting water balance problems, testing sanitizer levels, checking cyanuric acid, and helping prevent common water issues such as cloudy water, corrosion, scaling, and poor chlorine performance.

Key Features

Complete Professional Water Testing

Tests the major pool and spa water chemistry levels needed for day-to-day maintenance, including free chlorine, total chlorine, bromine, pH, acid demand, base demand, total alkalinity, calcium hardness, and cyanuric acid.

High-DPD Chlorine and Bromine Testing

Specifications

Customer-Facing Q&A

What does the Taylor K-2005-6 test for?

It tests free chlorine, total chlorine, bromine, pH, acid demand, base demand, total alkalinity, calcium hardness, and cyanuric acid.

Is this kit for chlorine or bromine pools?

It can be used for both chlorine and bromine pool or spa systems.

Is this better than test strips?

For users who want more complete and consistent water testing, a liquid reagent kit like the Taylor K-2005-6 is generally preferred over basic test strips because it provides more detailed test results and covers more water balance factors.

Does this kit include cyanuric acid testing?

Yes. The K-2005-6 includes cyanuric acid testing, which is important for monitoring stabilizer levels in outdoor chlorine pools.

What size are the reagent bottles?

This version includes 0.75 oz reagent bottles.

Is this the same as the Taylor K-2005C?

No. The K-2005-6 uses 0.75 oz reagent bottles, while the K-2005C version is commonly associated with larger 2 oz reagents. Always check the model number when ordering replacement kits or reagents.
