Long story short, I bought an eSeasongear Salt-3050 meter and their 3000ppm calibration fluid, as I was looking for a reliable tester for my new saltwater pool. The meter runs a little higher (100-200 ppm) than my AquaLink system and about 200ppm higher versus local pool store tests. My Aqualink actually had to get recalibrated shortly after pool startup because it was off (low) by about 600ppm.
I figured I'd order a Taylor K-1766 test kit to compare against my meter, since Taylor is considered the gold standard in testing. Two tests produced 4400ppm and 3800ppm. These are clearly way off. The dates on the reagents are good. I'm surprised and disappointed. I'll be returning the kit.
I definitely followed directions and the first change to a creamy light red was when I stopped counting.
Has anyone else had similar results with this kit?
Thanks!
