Salt 2980

Water clearing up slowly but surely. I made the right judgment call yesterday by fixing those dropped legs cause it might have fell over last night after all that rain here.

ok guys today my taylor drop test saltwater kit came in did a salt test and compared it with the Aquacheck test strip and got 2 different numbers...

Test strip reads my salt level is at 2980 ppm
while the taylor drop test tells me my salt is at 3600 ppm

My question is which one is more accurate?
 
I can't speak for the test strips, but I have the same drop test. I had put in some salt prior my test kit arriving, purposely undershooting. Once the kit arrived, I used pool math to add the remaining salt. I tested before adding, then after the next day, and the drop test was dead on what pool math predicted the result should be.
