    Salt tester

    I test my water once a week when I do maintenance on my pool. I live in Southern California so my pool is used almost all year around and with the cost of the salt strips, 10 for $14.00, I figure it will pay for itself over time. I see that most of the pool suppliers and pool techs are starting...

    Salt tester

    Has anyone use the electronic salt tester? I see it is expensive but will pay for itself in time if that is all you need. I see they use it at commercial pool suppliers to sample the salt level. LAMOTTE SALT TDS TEMP TRACER POCKETESTER
