Description
Taylor K-1730 Copper Test Kit for Water Chemistry Analysis delivers precise, fast copper readings for pool water with the familiar reliability of the Taylor name. Built on eight decades of water-testing expertise, this kit makes copper balance effortless for any pool owner or maintenance professional.
Why copper testing matters in pool care: copper levels influence staining, swimmer comfort, and equipment longevity. Too much copper can cause greenish water or surface staining, while too little may leave algae or mineral imbalances unchecked. The K-1730 helps you maintain a safe, sparkling pool by providing reliable copper measurements you can trust to inform chemical adjustments.
What’s included
- 3/4-ounce bottles of each testing reagent
- A graduated cylinder with a built-in measurement chart for quick, color-match readings
- Clear, step-by-step directions designed for fast, accurate results
How it works
Pour pool water into the cylinder, add the specified reagents in the order provided, and compare the resulting color to the built-in chart. You’ll obtain a copper reading in seconds, with a straightforward visual match that minimizes interpretation errors—even in outdoor lighting.
Who should use this kit
- DIY pool owners seeking professional-grade accuracy at home
- Pool service technicians needing dependable, on-site copper checks
- Community pools, apartments, and property managers aiming for consistent water quality
Why choose the Taylor K-1730 over other copper tests
Unlike generic strip tests, the K-1730 combines Taylor’s long-standing reputation for precision with a user-friendly colorimetric method. The built-in cylinder chart reduces reading errors, while the dedicated reagents provide stable, repeatable results that you can rely on when balancing copper-related chemistry in your pool system.
Practical usage tips
- Test from a representative location away from return jets to get an accurate sample
- Rinse the cylinder before each test to prevent cross-contamination
- Store reagents in a cool, dry place and away from direct sunlight to preserve shelf life
- If copper readings trend high, review copper-based algaecide usage and consider a partial water refresh to maintain optimal balance
Choose the Taylor K-1730 Copper Test Kit for water chemistry analysis and equip yourself with a trusted, efficient solution that pairs Taylor’s 80-year testing heritage with practical at-a-glance copper readings. Clear results, fast action, and durable reliability—all in one complete kit.
