SALT-3050 Waterproof IP65 Meter, Digital Salinity PPM Temperature Tester for Salt Water Pool and Koi Fish Pond

Works really well, I use this for my salt water pool. I had a salinity meter from a different manufacturer that I couldn’t find any calibration solution for. I decided to purchase this one due to reviews and that I could actually get the solution to calibrate with. It’s simple and easy to use and gives you a reading instantly. No longer am I waiting around for 45 minutes to read a test strip.

Very happy with this saltwater tester. Very accurate and easy to use! Highly recommend!

Let’s start with the obvious it’s expensive. However, it does exactly what is intended test the salt levels in your swimming pool. There is an added benefit to this specific item and that it is already calibrated. This just means that it’s easier to use straight out of the packaging. The packaging itself is pretty cool and that I did not expect it to actually have a synthetic leather cover for the actual device. This is an addition to the actual plastic cap that goes over the prongs. I have been using it in the manner of taking some pool water with a glass about 2 inches and dipping The prongs into the water and giving it a decent swirl. So far, no issues whatsoever on the readings they are very accurate. I have been testing it with test strips and I also have a saltwater meter that runs when the pool is on. I would say if there is a deviation it is less than 250 ppm. I cannot otherwise have any complaints but it is a simple product that does a very simple thing and otherwise no complaints.

Works great!

Wow, this reader is VERY accurate. I did a remodel in the back yard and the pool was done too so we went with a new salt Pentair system. Working on getting the salt up to 3600ppm as per Pentair guide. I purchased this digital salt meter AND the AquaCheck test strips so I would have 2 readings to compare. The test strip came in at 5.9 = 2540ppm and the digital meter came in at 2543! I could not believe it, so I wasted a 2nd strip and retested later in the day when it was hot (it hit 95 in Los Angeles today) water temp was 78 and went 2 feet below the surface for another sample and they were both coming back the same again! Now I know I can slowly get to the 3600 without going over and it can get it to the perfect spec. I would have been willing to pay double the amount for a device this accurate.

This did not work as expected. We thought this would be easier than using test strips and purchased it based on reviews. The directions were simple to follow but the readings were way off. . We tried 10 different times - only once did it readin range of the actual level. The rest were all way off. I found this to be unreliable and a waste of money.

So easy to use. Works great

Thanks to it, no more algae in the pool. Now I keep the pool at 3200 ppm which is the ideal amount for my 23000 gallon pool.
