pool salt meters

[bigdog12]

I have a salt water chlorine generator and think that it's one of the best investments that I have ever made. I'm tired of going to the pool store to have my water's salt level tested. Anyone with any experience/suggestions on a salt water meter that I can buy and do it myself. Do you guys at TFP sell one? Thanks much!

www.tftestkits.net has strips and Taylor's salt test. I have found the strips to work well enough and are more economical.

Don't know that I would buy a meter due to expense. You don't have to test salt a lot and using strips or the Taylor kit is all you need. I use the Taylor kit and like it. It will get you to within 200 ppm which is as good as you will ever need.

any opinions or experience on this unit

am also considering this one, little cheaper

I do have a cheap (sub 25) test kit from home depot but wanted something more spiffy especially with new pool and all new equipment, SWCG too

The advantage of the Color Q with digital readout, would be great if you are colorblind or partially colorblind.
Taylor 2006 is 1/2 the price and has greater accuracy on some tests.

The TF-100-XL uses the same regents as Taylor and is a better value.

Leslie's has a cool one for $120 I'm looking at, Just got my chlorine gen. going. It's a digital wand type made by some big brand, can't remember. They just started used them to replace their old wand testers in my local store.
