Built my saltwater pool three years ago and left care and maintenance to others. Now that I have fired my fifth pool guy (he replaced my Intellichlor SWG backwards),
and inspired by the pioneers who won the West, I am now my own pool lady.
Fully committed to the “garbage in, garbage out” theory, I am skeptical of the accuracy I can obtain with test strip color comparison. I expect there’s a good deal of art and experience vs. science involved in using strips to determine how much or how little salt to put in the stew. A digital readout, photometric device like the Lamotte ColorQ 7 really appeals to me as a potentially highly accurate and scientific way to make those expensive decisions. Thoughts? Advice? Thanks!
