Not yet. I decided to wait for the TF100 kit to arrive. It came this afternoon and I should have the time to do it tomorrow morning. Quite eager to see the accurate results.
If it ain't broke, should I fix it?

These are the results I got today, using the TF100 kit from TFP. Thankfully, the pH is actually just fine. I repeated the tests with the strips from my Acucheck 7 and still got a pH of 6.8. I think it's safe to say there's a significant error in the Acucheck strip test.
Thanks so much everyone!

Good job. Follow the recommended ranges. Your current data is great. Salt will have to come up when you want to start your SWCG.
We have a Pool Pilot Digital Nano. It runs 4 hrs/day when the pump is on. It gives me a salt reading of 3100 ppm. That's so far off from the 1440 I got from the Aquacheck strip. I think I'll clean up the Pool Pilot & recheck it's reading, while I buy some salt just in case.

I would suggest getting a Taylor 1766 salinity test. The test strips, for most anything, are not very accurate.
Do not add salt based on your SWCG readout or a strip.

Wow spot on! Don't forget to download the TFP testing app so you can record and compare your pool readings over time as well as track any additions you make to the pool.
