can you use this test in a saltwater environment? ( a salt water pond?)

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!

Yes, we have it installed in a salt water pool. The sensor tip is sealed in plastic.

Yes, but it will false in the wet salt water sand, unless you turn the sensitivity way down, which will reduce your depth to shallow surface finds. The coil will work in the shallow freshwater, just don't drop the detector or get the control box wet.

I haven't tried it with salt water, nor at that temperature, Sorry. It appears the internal vanes are plastic so the temperature might be a problem. Salt water shouldn't be a factor as long as it's rinsed with fresh water afterwards. Good luck.

I used the meter to measure the salinity of a swimming pool that had a great deal less salt than a saltwater aquarium and it worked just fine. I don't see why it wouldn't work for an aquarium.

I would think you could use it with salt water since all internal working parts that the salt water can come into contact with is plastic.

I am using it in a freshwater set up so I can confirm that the quality is excellent. I do not see why it would not also work well in a saltwater set up with glass.

The test will just tell you if there is any in the water or none, that's pretty much it. If you need a clear answer you need to have the tested by a local lab. Some pool stores actually test well water for you if you ask them and their results are a little more accruate than this testing but of course not as detailled as what you would get from a lab.

I am not sure if this can be used for salt water pool check. I recommend searching for "salt water test strips". I think you would want to check for sodium chloride levels which this product does not check for.

Definitely. I have only used it for saltwater but it would serve well in freshwater too.

This meter will measure salt level in water used in ponds or swimming pools.

The answer is between probably not and definitely not. The cabling and the battery are all inside the 'Weatherproof' case. The unit itself may be waterproof but the connections (wires to transducer and battery) would not be happy submerged in saltwater. If the whole thing took a dunk you would want to wash it all off with freshwater and check everything. Too much time if it happens every trip. I would opt for something more self contained.

I am sorry, I can't help to much with my answer because we've only used it in our pool and it works pretty good, but about salt water I really don't know. Sorry :-/

Yes, there would be no issue with using it with a salt water pool. The only thing would be that you would need to use a Scalewatcher 5 star unit due to the fact that it is outside. You cannot use the 3 star for outdoor use.

There is no solution other than the saltwater that you testing. This device reads the salinity of the water.

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.

This pump can be used in fresh or saltwater. I currently use it in saltwater.
