Is this test kit also good for salt pools?

Yes, but it won't test for salt but the tests don't care if it's regular or salt system

That is exactly what I did, and it works just fine. I spoke with an employee at the pool store and he said there should be some chlorine in the pool. The system will maintain levels. So far I have been quite happy with system. Make sure you buy a water conditioner, so calcium doesn't build up so fast on the salt cell.

I think you would be fine using this product with salt water pools that use the salt for chlorine generation. The product is mostly baking soda with water clarifier added in. The product does 3 things: increases pH, increases Alkalinity and adds clarifier to your pool water. I use this product with my outdoor pool which holds about 28,000 gallon and have been very happy with it. I add about 1 tablet of this per 4 tablets of 3 inch chlorine tablets that I put into my chlorinator. If you monitor your pool chemistry you could also periodically just add a tablet(s) when your pH and Alkalinity levels get low in your pool. You could also buy Arm & Hammer baking soda for Alkalinity adjustment with a separate pool water clarifier product and use them as directed to achieve the same end result.

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 :-/

This one as a kit is specially is for FRESHWATER, same as one like this one for Saltwater as well.Now answering: The ONLY difference between both kits (fresh and salt) is that fresh one have an additional test (pH)-> is for fresh water onlyHigh Range pH, Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate test are all the same for any type of water, the fresh water one have 5 chemicals total with 4 test tubes, while salt water have 4 chemicals and 4 test tubes. There are other minerals that are specially required for salt or fresh..but thats another story.Once again, fresh water and salt water kit ARE THE SAME, with exeption of pH that is specially for fresh water ;) This one as a kit is specially is for FRESHWATER, same as one like this one for Saltwater as well.Now answering: The ONLY difference between both kits (fresh and salt) is that fresh one have an additional test (pH)-> is for fresh water onlyHigh Range pH, Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate test are all the same for any type of water, the fresh water one have 5 chemicals total with 4 test tubes, while salt water have 4 chemicals and 4 test tubes.

I don't have a salt water pool so I cannot answer your question. My last one ran for 14 years with my chlorine pool.

Gosh I add salt to my pond when I need to and stil use this test kit for the other tests I keep an eye on through out the summer. I hope this helps!

Yes. The test strip has an indicator for total chlorine or total bromine. There is also a pool and spa range for the free chlorine indicator. The test strip has a pH indicator which can also be used for spa, however, the pH range is broad, so you might want a more granular pH tester.

Yes. I used it all the time, for salt water, used 18§ test line. Pull 20 lbs.reds all day long, sheephead, kingfish, and. macroe..

Depends on the volume of water in your pool. Read the instructions and work with a local pool company that sells salt.

If it tests for what you want, then yes. It is necessary to check free chlorine in saltwater chlorinator pools to make sure the saltwater system is doing its job. So these strips will work for that (as well as ph, etc.). But you probably also want to test for salt level which these strips will not do.

Yes its just the standard tests chlorine/pH and alkalinity.You only need to test the salt when you fill the spa with water for the first time, however after now using the Solaxx mini for almost a year now i don't test the water att all anymore because its chrystal clear and doesn't smell like chlorine at all.

No, I've emptied my 5,000 gallon bag pool for several years and the low concentration of salt doesn't appear to have any detrimental affect.

Mine is not a salt water pool. It is fresh water. I use chlorine on a regular basis. I went to my local Leslies pool supply when I filled it the first time. They test your water for free as often as you need. They told me what chemicals to add at the beginning and use chlorine since then. I love, love, love my pool.

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.
