I just received the Taylor sodium chloride K-1766 test kit. I got a reading of 4000 but my Hayward board reads 3100. Can I determine which one is correct?
Ok. I've done the Taylor test twice now and it comes out the same 4000. I'm using a Hayward cell and controller. It gives me a process to recalibrate. I'm not sure it will go that high but if it does it will read minerals as too high. Should I turn off the cell for a while and retest every week or so till it drops to normal levels or do I need to empty some of the water and refill? Not sure what to do here. What do you think?
The pool store also says the salinity is ok. So...I have the Taylor telling me 4000, the pool store and the Hayward telling me it's approx. 3200. What other test can I get to verify?
Someone else took the sample down for me and he tossed the paper because it didn't have anything for me to add. So...all I know is it wasn't very far off 3200 or they would have had me add. I'll probably just wait till next month retest and see where I'm at then. Thanks
