It enables accurate, multi-parameter testing of pool and spa water, including free and total chlorine, pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness, and cyanuric acid. Liquid reagents offer faster, more reliable results than tablets, with shelf lives up to 2 years, making this kit an essential annual maintenance upgrade for professional-grade water quality management. ## Description This Color-Q Pro 7 test reagent refill kit includes one 30 ml bottle of DPD 1A liquid reagent for free chlorine, DPD 1B liquid reagent for free chlorine, DPD 3 liquid reagent for total chlorine. Also includes pH liquid reagent for pH, ALK liquid reagent for total alkalinity, CH2 liquid reagent for calcium hardness, CH1 liquid reagent for calcium hardness, CYA Test Tabs for Cyanuric Acid and 5 ml Color Q 6 Test Tube. Review: Use This -- Don't Use the Tablets - I have a LaMotte ColorQ 7 pool/spa test kit. When I bought it I had some serious difficulty in getting accurate reading for some tests. I had purchased the kit that uses tablets. These tablets have to be crushed and dissolved completely and then the test vial inverted several times to ensure no bubbles and complete dissolving of the tablet. I now believe that the major source of the difficulty was in using the tablets ... even though I followed the LaMotte protocol for tablets. I even cleaned the device used to crush the tablets between each test. I ultimately decided to try the liquid reagents. When I did, I found out that I obtained much more accurate and reliable results with the liquid reagent. I did this by testing a sample of spa water with both the tablets. I also tested both methods using a sample of water for which I knew the results ahead of time. In short, the LaMotte ColorQ 7 works well (it is much more accurate and informative than some of the test strips) BUT I recommend using it with the liquid reagent and not the tablets. And, by the way, the liquid reagent method is much easier and faster to use. Review: Buy this once a year if you use Color-Q Pro-7 - This is the refill for the LaMotte 2056 ColorQ Pro 7 Digital Pool Water Test Kit . Look for my full review of that product there. The reagents DO need to be replaced at regular intervals, as documented on the LaMotte website on a page called "LaMotte Reagents Shelf Life" They explain the date codes on the bottle on that page as well. I know from experience that at least the chlorine tests and the calcium hardness tests will give inaccurate results if you go much past the stated shelf life. This kit also includes new test tubes, which is also good thing, since even if you clean them as you should after each use, they tend to get slightly discolored and cloudy over time which I'm guessing could effect the accuracy of your result. Even though some of the reagents are good for 2 years, some are only good for 1 year or 6 months in the case of CH2. Since the cost of the individual reagents I need after a year is almost as much as the whole kit, I order the whole Refill Kit once a year. For a pool, you don't often have to check Calcium Hardness, but if you regularly refill and balance a SPA, you may have to bite the bullet and order a individual CH2 after 6 months., At current price for the total kit of $57 its not cheap, but pool maintenance is not cheap and I consider this an essential part of my maintenance package. ## Features - Color-Q Pro 7 test reagent refill kit - Includes one 30 ml bottle of DPD 1A liquid reagent for free chlorine, DPD 1B liquid reagent for free chlorine - DPD 3 liquid reagent for total chlorine, pH liquid reagent for pH - ALK liquid reagent for total alkalinity, CH2 liquid reagent for calcium hardness - Also includes CH1 liquid reagent for calcium hardness, CYA TesTabs for Cyanuric Acid and 5 ml Color 6 Test Tube ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00C4065CG | | Best Sellers Rank | #40,815 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #79 in Swimming Pool Water Test Kits | | Brand | LaMotte | | Brand Name | LaMotte | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 out of 5 stars 358 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00637395451331 | | Included Components | Unit^Instruction Guide | | Item Form | Liquid | | Manufacturer | LaMotte | | Manufacturer Part Number | R-2056 | | Model Number | R-2056 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Package Size Name | Single Refill Kit | | UPC | 637395451331 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** LaMotte - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00637395451331 - **Item Form:** Liquid - **Number of Packs:** 1 - **UPC:** 637395451331 ## Images ![Lamotte R-2056 Color-Q Pro 7 Test Reagent Refill Kit - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/512aeWDusQL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is there any way to verify the lot numbers of the reagents prior to purchase?** A: My company, Recreation Supply, offers a freshness guarantee on all reagents we sell on Amazon.com. The guarantee is specified in the condition note of reagent offers to which it applies. Since reagents vary in chemical makeup, the amount of guaranteed shelf life varies by reagent. Obviously, since manufacturers sell through distribution, a portion of that shelf life will be spent while the reagents are in transit or in a warehouse waiting to be ordered. We limit that lost shelf life by ordering stock of test kits and reagents frequently and in small batches. **Q: Can you provide lot #, etc. from each bottle before i order? Some are only good 6 months or 1 year. Returning recent purchase b/c some soon expire** A: It's not fair to judge Amazon and Amazon's third party merchants on this experience. Different reagents have different shelf lives. The Calcium Hardness 2 reagent, for instance, only has a 6 month shelf life from date of manufacture. No matter where you purchase the reagents from, you will not get any more shelf life than this. **Q: what are the dates on these reagents** A: I received an order today 5/1/20. They are dated as follows: DPD1A 4/22, 1B 4/22, 3 4/22. PH 4/22. ALK 4/21. CH1 4/21, CH2 9/20. CA tabs 2/23. **Q: Do the reagents work in the 2086 kit with the larger tubes. I know the tubes don't work but what about the reagents?** A: Hello, Not all of the R-2056 reagents can be used with the 2086 ColorQ 2X PRO 7 tester. R-2056 comes with liquids for TA and calcium hardness and they cannot be used with the 2086 model. All of the new 2x models use a tablet to test for TA and calcium hardness, in order to provide better shelf life. You need to order replacement kit R-2086. I hope this is helpful.

The kit comes with narrow test vials that don’t work in my kit. Also the Alkalinity liquid won’t work in my tester. Lamotte should let you know. I would like to buy new vials for my tester but they are not available. Lamotte changed things with a new tester but doesn’t support my 2 year old tester. Overall I like the tester however Lamotte has lost my confidence and will not support them in the future. ## Frequently Bought Together - Lamotte R-2056 Color-Q Pro 7 Test Reagent Refill Kit - LaMotte Waterproof Bluetooth ColorQ 2X PRO 7 2086 - LAMOTTE COMPANY P-6741-G CHLORINE DPD 1B 30ML --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/6512164-lamotte-r-2056-color-q-pro-7-test-reagent-refill](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/6512164-lamotte-r-2056-color-q-pro-7-test-reagent-refill) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-09-11*
