TA is not quite as critical to as pH. As long as the pH is in the acceptable range and not rising extremely fast, the TA is probably fine. While a TA of 60-80 may seem ideal, even if it's slight above or before that range it should be okay. I would not let it ever drop before 50 though.

Taylor R-0004 versus R-0014

It looks like I may have ordered the wrong Taylor reagent as a refill for my PH test. I have the k-1005 kit which uses R-0014 and I accidentally ordered R-0004. Can anybody tell me the difference and whether they are interchangeable? Thanks.

Thanks for this! It looks like I just need to make sure to get the R-0004 when I reorder since I have Taylor K-2006C-SALT kit.

That's correct. The Taylor K-2006 and other 2000 series kits use R-0004, 5, and 6 for pH testing, while all TF kits use R-0014.

As far as expirations go - the dates printed on Taylor bottles are Best By dates, not expiration dates. Everything sold at TFtestkits is warrantied for 1 year from purchase, so we do not print expiration dates on the bottles themselves.
