salt test

SWG read 1500 ppm Test strip read 2500 PPM I added 8 bags of salt to reach 3300 ppm from the 2500 reading Now strips read 5800 ppm which is 5.8 on the strip. And SWG is warning check salt at 2200. I read the old posts and most said trust the SWG or get the K-1766 kit. I've had faulty readings...

Hi all! Like many of you, I’ve decided to add a SWG to minimize storage of chemicals, save some money and time. In preparation, I balanced the chemicals to ideal levels FC: 5.5, CYA: 50, pH: 7.4, TA: 60, CH: 550, water temp: 76. Then I added Boric acid last night following the method exactly on...

I replaced my cell a couple of weeks ago with a brand new one. Right after I installed it, the K-1766 test (also a brand new replacement) indicated 2200 ppm, which was identical to the reading I was getting from the SWG. I shut it off, added 100 lbs. of salt, and 24 hours after turning my SWG...

I've searched and found that reagents are good for at least a year, probably longer (most threads related to typical chemistry - FC, Ph, etc). Does this apply to the salt test reagents from the Taylor K-1766? My R-0718 reagent shows an expiration of 08/2019; the R0630 expires 4/2020. We had a...
