I use the Taylor salt water test. I recently had my liner changed, so I was starting from basically having 0 salt in the pool. I added salt slowly over the course of 3 days and after that my Taylor kit has been consistently giving me 3600 ppm as my salt level. I recalibrated my salt cell (t-15) to match.
Yesterday I had to give my pool a real good backwash, then I refilled it to the proper level. I’d expect my salt level to go down since I pumped so much out and replaced it with fresh water. My salt cell is now reading 3100, but my Taylor kit is still telling me 3600.
Now I’m not sure if I trust the kit results. Can anyone help me understand these results? My pool is about 32k gallons. When I backwashed I probably dropped it about 2 inches. So I replaced a lot of water. I’m not sure if it makes a difference, but when I use the kit I mix it with the speed stir, I dont swirl by hand.
