Could I use this to test the salt levels in my salt water pool?

Yes, the more salt the more electrically conductive the water will be, which is what this measures.

Yes. The error lights flash and I think the salt level does not read. Before you do anything make sure your salt cell has been cleaned with a good acid wash and take it to your pool store for testing.

No Shauna, The clorine will mess up and counter the good you do with the salt. You really need to empty and start fresh with your bags of salt. Your pool will stay cleaner longer and is so much more economical and easier on the skin than chlorine. Just protect the digital display on your salt pump with a basket or something as the sun will destroy the read-out and you won't be able to program it. This was my mistake. Patti

I'm a new pool owner and not familiar with salt systems to say whether this will work or not.

If you just run the pump believe you can, look at the owners manual -should be on line. If you run the whole system - a low salt warning will appear on the control panel,

I am sorry, I can't help to much with my answer because we've only used it in our pool and it works pretty good, but about salt water I really don't know. Sorry :-/

Yes, to test the water you add drops of the included chemicals to a sample of your pool water. I used it this summer and it worked great, never had any problems with my chemical levels.

yes you can test any liquid that i know of, but best to keep it in neutral water and have it calibrated often

No. This only tests for ph, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate. You can get a cheap hydrometer here on Amazon. Just do a search for it.

YES! I have a salt water pool and it works great. Occasionally, you may want to rinse off any salt which accumulates on the top of the cover with a garden hose just to keep it looking new and clean.

I hope so . I'm converting my pool to salt water this year.................i'm thinking if you rinsed it with clear water it will be fine. let me know how u make out.. norm2428@comcast.net

I honestly don't know, would think probably not, as this tests for chlorine too. Maybe do a search for saltwater test kits? I'm unfamiliar with what you need exactly, so sorry.

As soon as you get the salt level in your pool to the specs this will produce chlorine. You will have to monitor it to find the proper amount if time to run unit but it works great. I suggest a chlorine stabilizer you will run the unit less with it. Good luck

my test strips are for chlorine and salt water pools....just match the color on the strip to tell you how to add. if still in doubt stop by a pool supply store and get their input.

There is no solution other than the saltwater that you testing. This device reads the salinity of the water.

Works great in chlorine pool, not sure about salt water, when actually working.

I have a salt pool and my sensor is attached to the outside of the pipe so it works well. If you were to put it into the pipe, the bit that goes in is plastic so it should be OK as well.
