Aquachek Strips vs SWG reading for Salt Levels

[Northern cannonball]

Hey everyone,
While I am in the process of hunting down a Taylor Salt test kit (hard to come by in Canada), I am unsure whether I should trust the results from the aquachek strips which reads 2900 ppm or my SWG digital reading of 3400 ppm... or neither

Thanks!

Is the SWCG showing low salt?

Hey mknauss, no it isn't.

Then all is good.

Only really need to check salinity with a proper test kit when the SWCG is complaining. Failure mode for most SWCG's is showing low salinity when it is not low in reality.

Good info, thank you!
