Salt Test - Which is Correct?

[Patrickoleary]

Hi there,

I have a few salt tests that I have tried and have gotten conflicting results.

- Taylor K-1666. 3200
- AquaRite. 4000 (this instant a test, but what the unit says after I cleaned the cell with muriatic acid, and recalibrated)
- eSeason 3050. 3950 (just bought this on Amazon. It reads 3000 in the against the baseline 3000 ppm solution I bought as a calibration)

I'm inclined to go with the eSeason reading. In the past, I had the AquaChek strips and those already ready higher than the Taylor K-1666 as well. Usually by about 400 PPM.

Thoughts? Experience?

I didn't test the 3000 ppm calibration water with the K-1666 yet. I will do that here in a bit.

EDIT: The Taylor test shows 2400 on a 3000 baseline sample. Expiration on bottle says 6/20. I'm guessing it is just old. I'm going with the 3900-4000 as the number.
