    Question R-0013 = Distilled water?

    R-0013 is hard to get here, as only one place sells it. Looking at Taylor's MSDS, it appears to be deionized water.

    So will distilled water work as well for the black dot test for CYA?

    That would be convenient but no, the R-0013 is not just Deionized water. Have you tried to find it online?

    Well ok. Thanks guys. Oh yes I can get it online or wait till tomorrow and go to the one place that sells it.

    I was hoping for a quick work around.

    The MSDS lists the ingredient as CHEMICAL FAMILY: Organic salt solution. So what is R-0013? Salt water?
