Salt Test Strips (Sodium Chloride Test Strips)
Product Description
Salt Test Strips (Sodium Chloride Test Strips)
Salt Test Strips for pools and hot tubs provide fast, accurate salinity measurement. Proper salt level allows the chlorin generator to produce the desired amount of sanitizer.
Total Salt (NaCl)
400 to 7,000 ppm range
10 test strips
SALT TEST STRIPS: Tests the salt (sodium chloride) levels for pools with salt generator systems; White titrators measure levels from 400 to 7,000 ppm
ACCURACY: Using medical industry technology, our test strips offer comparable accuracy to liquid tests; No measuring & counting drops of reagent, leaving less room for error
EASY TO USE: Just dip the test strip & remove it; Accurate results in a few minutes;
Water chemistry insert & directions included; Test water at least twice a week for safe, balanced water
SAFE & CLEAN WATER: Pool testing strips offer simple & accurate way to ensure your salt generator will produce the correct amount of chlorin to keep water healthy
The ideal salt level is between 2,700 to 3,400 ppm with the optimal level being 3,200 ppm. If you're starting with no salt (0 PPM) and you have a 10,000-gallon pool, you'll need to add 267 pounds of salt. That's six to seven 40-pound pool-grade bags of salt.
Test the water to make sure you have a salt level of around 3,200 PPM. Levels much lower than that will make your generator less effective and produce less chlorin. But levels higher than 4,500 PPM will reduce the lifespan of your salt cell and can cause erosion and damage to your pool surfaces and equipment.
