Renewing salt test strip thread.

[TheHomeGuru]

SWG read 1500 ppm
Test strip read 2500 PPM
I added 8 bags of salt to reach 3300 ppm from the 2500 reading
Now strips read 5800 ppm which is 5.8 on the strip. And SWG is warning check salt at 2200.
I read the old posts and most said trust the SWG or get the K-1766 kit. I've had faulty readings from SWGs before which caused an overload of salt so I would rather have a reliable test kit then calibrate the SWG. My strips are just a year old.

Not sure if there's a question in there, but TFP recommends the Taylor K-1766 test kit.

Don’t ever trust the strips.

I finally started start using the Taylor K-1766 test kit for my salt levels. I really like it, very easy to use too. My (2) PLC1400's always seem to read a bit higher than my true salt level determined by the K-1766. Not sure if that's the case for others.
