Does this test tkit come with a salt level test?

No it does not. It primarily tests Ph, Nitrites, Ammonia, and phosphate levels.

It's called "The Salt Test". You take about a table spoon of salt in a little cup or something of that nature, and add a few drops of water to it. Place the salt and hygrometer in a liplock bag for 6-12 hours and it should read 75 %, if not, turn the little screw type thing in the back.........but be careful, my last one broke on first adjustment.

There are a few things that can cause that error to come up. First of course is you actually do have low salt, like someone else responded. Second the plates that actually aid in the measuring of the salt content are dirty or encrusted with some sort of substance that does not allow them to do a proper check of the salt level. Third, the control board inside the unit is defective. There are posts on the internet about how to clean the metal plates that deal with the salt converstion, by using some sort of acid. Sounds logical to me but I have not had that issue myself yet, so I cannot tell you if its valid or not. I would probably try it if it was me just to see as it did not see very hard to do....just be very careful if you do decide to try that.... My only problem with my pump was a blown fuse on my control board that I managed to replace myself. It was giving me a service light though and not what you are having.... Good luck....

Yes all you need to test this bad boy comes with, the only thing it doesn't have is up to date error codes, sinple google search solved it for me

lab way is to get or make known salt concentration to see if reads similar other time. Solutions evaporate over time too. Distilled water should read very low too.

We set our pool up in May, 2014 and it is now July, 2014. We have not had to add any salt. It is my understanding that the "low salt" light will come on if needed. Very happy to say our pool has tested perfect each week and we haven't had to do anything except the usual Regular Filter changes. Absolutely nothing with the saltwater filter!

Check the type of salt you are using. I had the same issue using dead sea salts which are potassium and magnesium salts. I suspect that the test kit measures NaCl which is what the manual specifies. The system seemed to work just fine but to appease the sensor I changed the mix to 30% plain pool NaCl salt.

Yes, it does. I got another blood tester. It's TrueResult. I like it better. I don't have to insert a code of strips every time starting new strips because it is code less.Natalya

Hi Marissa: Thanks for your e-mail!For testing Saltwater, please use a Salinity Refractometer. This refractometer is designed to read in Brix and Wort/Must Specific Gravity, which is not the same as Salinity. Please check out our selection of Salinity Refractometers in our Amazon store.Thanks again for your e-mail!Cheers!Charlie

No. after you receive the kit there is a prepaid envelope attached and they email you the results.

No - suggest you check your installation - TK are very helpful if you have problems.

My tester does without problem. I am very pleased with this tester, more so than the others I own.

It has been a few months since I used it, but I am pretty sure it doesn't test for salt.

Yes it does, make sure you don't hold the test button down for more 10 sec.

No - the system tells you when the salt is low which happened to me twice this summer so far. I added 20 or 25 lbs of salt to the pool to bring it back up.

No. It only reads SEVEN test factors (Free Chlorine, Total Chlorine, Bromine, pH, Alkalinity, Calcium Hardness, and Cyanuric Acid)

Once I bought this water test kit: LaMotte 2056 ColorQ Pro 7 Digital Pool Water Test Kit I realized that I need to shock when the FCL and tCL are greatly out of sync. When I shock and add chlorine when the chlorine levels are low, the FCL and tcl are the same readings. Over time they will differ and once they are greatly out of sync, I shock.
