Can any of these tests be used for both saltwater and freshwater? I noticed a lot of the individually packaged tests say they can be used for both.

I was looking online, and from my understanding, the pH won't be accurate, and the colors on the color cards won't be accurate, so you will not be able to interpret the readings, but the test results should be the same. Here's one forum that I looked at that can give you more detail:http://www.fishlore.com/fishforum/test-kits/41915-use-sw-master-kit-fw.html

This one as a kit is specially is for FRESHWATER, same as one like this one for Saltwater as well. Now answering: The ONLY difference between both kits (fresh and salt) is that fresh one have an additional test (pH)-&gt; is for fresh water only High Range pH, Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate test are all the same for any type of water, the fresh water one have 5 chemicals total with 4 test tubes, while salt water have 4 chemicals and 4 test tubes. There are other minerals that are specially required for salt or fresh..but thats another story. Once again, fresh water and salt water kit ARE THE SAME, with exeption of pH that is specially for fresh water ;)

No, you need to go by the label. Saltwater has different chemistry than freshwater.

You can use this kit to test city water. We do carry an All-in-one test kit.

I have no exprerience with salt water. I would read marketing materials or contact manufacturer..Good luck...

Can be used for either Fresh or Salt water. In salt water it can remove some trace elements which is good for salt water tanks. But is safe in either one.

You only need to have a protein skimmer when setting up a marine/saltwater aquarium, a freshwater setup doesn't need this equipment. This filter can be used for either fresh or salt water tanks, works equally well on both, I have it on a freshwater aquarium at this time and it is wonderful.

Yes! They are great in both fresh and salt tanks. I use mine in a fresh water tank and some in a fresh water pond too! Make sure you order a lot tho. Over 100 for a small wet dry filter. I ordered 50 and it was not close to enough! Needed about 200!

Yes, to test the water you add drops of the included chemicals to a sample of your pool water. I used it this summer and it worked great, never had any problems with my chemical levels.

Yes. These can be used in saltwater pools, for a consistent reading on cyanuric acid, the ph and total alkalinity must be within range though

We used two of these on our 55g brackish water aquarium. Maybe the reason they didn't last was because of the extra salt it was filtering.

They are virtually the same, they each use a copper node of some type that helps kills stuff in the water. Sorry this is the off the cuff explanation. The saltwater system works in that it uses the salt to generate chlorine through titanium plates. The add the oxygenation to the water to help in cleaning. That's only what I have read. I highly recommend the newer version of the system that is pictured here. Much better than chlorine based systems.

Yes, I have used mine in both salt and fresh water. I just rinse it off good after use in salt water! This has been a great trolling motor.

Hi :I have a fresh water aquarium.... not sure about salt water... Look it up on google... Sorry Happy new Year

I use mine strictly for freshwater, probably could be used for saltwater but I would not recommend it.

Gosh I add salt to my pond when I need to and stil use this test kit for the other tests I keep an eye on through out the summer. I hope this helps!

This is designed for salt water - will work in fresh. Would not recommend trying a free water model in salt...

These tabs should work as a salt-water pool generates chlorine by breaking down sodium chloride into chlorine. You still need to measure PH, Alkalinity, etc. so I don't see why these would not do just fine.

I have a freshwater tank so 'I' can't say for sure about saltwater .. My daughter has a saltwater tank and said that removing water is the only way to 'lose' salt percentages ..
