    testing salt level - do i need test strips?

    I'm just getting started with Intex SWG - I know it will alert on high/low, but it doesn't show the salt levels. Bout the TF-100, but I think I may need some kind of strip to test the salinity? Many thanks with all the advice received so far --- starting with adding salt now! Michele
