Our Reagent Guarantee
One common rule of thumb is to replace reagents at the beginning of each swim season. However, given proper care, many reagents can provide accurate and reliable results for longer than one season.
Date of manufacture is not the controlling factor when it comes to shelf life. Storage conditions are more important. Reagents are sensitive to environmental influences and will last longer under controlled conditions.
Reagents should be stored at 25°C (room temperature) and away from heat, humidity, moisture, direct sunlight and cold conditions. The storage temperature should be kept as constant as possible, without large fluctuations in temperature. Reagents should not be kept refrigerated, unless specified otherwise in the kit instructions or packing literature for the reagents. Reagents should not be stored in work vehicles, utility rooms, pool and pump houses or other environments where conditions may be harsh. Exposure to such conditions will compromise the quality and stability of reagents and shorten reagent shelf lives. Replace caps immediately after use and tighten carefully so that exposure to air and humidity is limited. Avoid switching caps, placing bottle caps on soiled surfaces, pouring reagents into contaminated containers, or touching test strip pads.
Since reagents are not 'made to order,' some of the published shelf life is lost on the manufacturer's shelves, in transit, or on distributors' shelves. As a result it is unreasonable to expect to receive reagents with the full published shelf life. We have consulted with our reagent manufacturers to determine reasonable expectations for remaining reagent shelf life once a reagent reaches a consumer. This allows us to publish a
Reagent Shelf Life Guarantee
for reagents purchased from us.
Many
LaMotte
pool and spa reagents have shelf lives of 2 years or more at the date of manufacture, although several have much shorter shelf lives (see below). LaMotte has begun printing expiration dates on their reagents to help you know when to replace reagents.

Most
Taylor Technologies
reagents have a shelf life of 2 years at the date of manufacture. Taylor recommends, as a general precaution, replacing all reagents more than one year old, or at the beginning of a new testing season. However, keep in mind that a few Taylor reagents have significantly shorter shelf lives (see below). Taylor reagents now feature expiration dates to help you know when to replace reagents.
Except for the reagents listed below
or as otherwise noted, we guarantee Taylor reagents that we supply to be good for
at least one year
when stored correctly and under proper conditions.
