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

On first use this is works well. Comes calibrated making it easy to use. Time will tell as many of these type meters fail quickly.

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.

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.

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.

Works great!

.Absolute garbage. Lasted 2 days over my return window and now im screwed with a product that's not even water resistant/proof despite the cheap ash seal AND THE SMALL LATCH WITH NO SEAL WHERE ALL THE WATER COMES IN HAHAHA WHO ENGINEERED THIS? that lil red seal ripped itself apart opening the battery compartment 2 times after realizing the device didnt want to turn on because of the fact water was inside on the electronics. Ruined the battery and starting sizzling and smoking. Unbelievable. For a little over 30 bucks that's product sucks! DO NOT BUY

Works perfectly!

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

Doesn’t work properly ….took it into a spa outlet and they tested it and it does not read accurately

Buyer beware you paying 65$ for a cheap TDS (total dissolve meter) NOT and not a salinity tester NaCL. for sur it will give reading but TDS measure ALL element so reading completely inaccurate.
