Quick verdict
The annual refresh that keeps your Taylor kit accurate. Match reagent numbers to your kit.
Ideal for
- Taylor kit owners
- Annual reagent replacement
Not ideal for
- Owners of other test-kit brands
The full picture
Taylor reagents lose accuracy after about a year, and an expired bottle gives you confidently wrong numbers. A refill set restores your K-2005/K-2006 to accuracy for a fraction of a new kit's price — match the reagent numbers to your kit and replace annually. The cheapest way to keep good testing honest.
