Taylor Technologies K-1680 is an essential tool for water testing and analysis. It comes with five different easy-to-use drop tests to determine the levels of five key water quality parameters: chlorine, pH, alkalinity, hardness, and stabilizer.

With the Taylor Technologies K-1680, you can quickly and easily:

  • Measure the chlorine concentration in your pool or spa to ensure proper sanitation.
  • Determine the pH level of your water to ensure it's within the ideal range for swimming and equipment protection.
  • Test the alkalinity of your water to maintain the pH balance and prevent corrosion.
