Not sure what was wrong. Maybe a faulty unit, but every time I would go to use it, the batteries were dead. Insert new batteries, it would work for one test. I would turn it off and the following week, it would be dead! Insert new batteries, rinse and repeat.

I measure the salt every time after I do a cleaning of the pond that adds about 10% new water. At first I thought the accuracy was fine as we had brought the pond up to just over 400ppm to get rid of some parasites as the weather warmed. But when I measure, I get a variety of readings ranging from 485 to 395. I'm going to buy another testing kit to see if it is better.

Easy to use, its pretty accuate, compared to salt generator reading.

For the price I at least thought it would have a battery in it

Should have had one years ago for treating my koi pond , when doing a partial water change you can’t accurately know how much salt is in the pond without a meter like this.

Works well. Great price. This is not the waterproof version. But as long as you don’t drop it in the pool you are okay. I leave it inside the house, and go out to the pool with a cup and bring a cup of water inside to test. Also, I keep a bottle of water with in, because it says to rinse the sensor probes with bottled water after use. I give it a quick pour with a couple tablespoons of bottled water, so the same bottle of water lasts a long time. Great value for this model. If you are going to store it outside in the pool area, then I’d recommend getting the waterproof version. But if you are storing this inside, then you can save some money with this non-waterproof version. Seems to be very accurate compared to the professional test at the local pool store.

Became a new Salt Water Pool owner this year and found in my research that it is recommended to have a 3rd party Salt level tester as my SWG could malfunction, which I find odd now and will explain below.From day one I never got a solid reading from this device, either from testing directly in the pool or within a cup of pool water. It seems each time I attempted to get a read, the numbers would jump around, sometimes in the 1000's. I tried everything I could do to resolve this (cleaning, swirling, battery reset) and before my return window closed, I decided to just send it back.My inexperience thought behind having a 3rd party tester - if the SWG is the device I rely on to create chlorine, then why am I not relying on it's ability to tell me if I need more salt or not? If the concern is that the SWG could start to malfunction and miss read the salt levels, like say there is not enough salt in the pool even thought it thinks there is, then I should see a decrease in my chlorine levels. So basically I'm saying, if you routinely monitor your pool's chemistry with those pool strips or chem kits, I see no reason why I would need this device.Alternatively, one may argue, with the SWG may be telling you your low on salt but some (like mine) dont actually show you your PPM so how do you figure how much salt to add? To that I would say, are you really only pouring in a 1/4 of an open bag of 20lb salt to get you to a magical number?? From my understanding, if you "technically" needed 12lbs of your 20lb bag of salt, its not going to break the system to just pour in the extra 8lbs vs trying to store a non resealable bag of salt.Again, I'm an amateur here so take what I say... with a grain of salt ;)

I purchased this for my salt water pool. I have to drive 30 to 40 min. Away to have my water tested. I have been having issues with my salt cell so I wanted something to be able to check it my self. I read the reviews and they were great so today I checked it scared it was not accurate because it did not match my salt cell reading. Very frustrated I got my sample and went to pool place. It was the same number this little tester had. It was not a few hundred off it was the exact same number. I was so surprised and excited! I wish I would have gotten this years ago! Great product! You will not regret you got this inexpensive pool salt tester! I don’t usually review items but just had to give my rave on this tester! Thanks for such a great buy!

Seems to work just fine: read 3270 ppm in my 15,000 gal. above ground pool (Intex 32' x 16').Pros: * Great value * Battery included and pre-installed * Easy to use * Accurate * Reports water temperature too (in both Celsius and and Fahrenheit)Cons: * Small display/digits/graphics (especially the "x10" icon) * The "Hold" button could be in a more useful place (e.g. the butt end of the "pen") * Not water proof, so if you accidentally drop it in the water (e.g. while trying to hit the "hold" button) - oh well! * Would be nice if it read/reported *both* the salinity and the temperature with a single dip/sample

This pool salt meter works great. My brother owns a pool supply store and also has a crew that cares for pools. He has one of these on every truck and it is spot on reliable. The biggest downside to owning a salt pool is having to take a biweekly trip to the local pool supply store to get a salinity reading. This saves me the trip. I keep my pool between 2,900 and 3,200 ppm salt level and this has been right on the readings the pool supply was giving me. It also gives a temperature reading which is an added bonus. Easy to use and easy to read. If you have a salt pool, get this meter. It just works!!!

This is the tool you need when your salt celt is flashing declarations about a low salt level. Hayward TurboCell salt cells have failed on me three times now so I'm wise to the all-too-frequent and bogus insinuations that I should add salt. Low salt readings can be a symptom of a bad cell and mine was reporting 1900 ppm with no chlorine being generated. I decided to buy this inexpensive tester. I compared the tester's readings with two different pool store tests and a tester belonging to a pool serviceman who came by for something else. All were generally in the same range of about 3200-3500 ppm. I also tried the tester in distilled water (.003 ppm) and tap water (300 ppm.) My tap water is supposed to have only 80 ppm of salt but I'm more inclined to trust this tester than the water department the way things are anymore. Anyway, my TurboCell readout was wrong, the cell was bad, and Hayward replaced it under their rather poor warranty that requires the owner to pay for a technician's service call ($85 in my case.)
