SALT-3000 Meter, Digital Salinity PPM Temperature Tester for Salt Water Pool and Koi Fish Pond

Needed for a salt water pool. Works perfectly as described. Easy to use.

Easy to use and accurate, as far as I can tell.

Seems to work just fine: read 3270 ppm in my 15,000 gal. above ground pool (Intex 32' x 16'). Pros: * Great value * Battery included and pre-installed * Easy to use * Accurate * Reports water temperature too (in both Celsius and and Fahrenheit) Cons: * Small display/digits/graphics (especially the "x10" icon) * The "Hold" button could be in a more useful place (e.g. the butt end of the "pen") * Not water proof, so if you accidentally drop it in the water (e.g. while trying to hit the "hold" button) - oh well! * Would be nice if it read/reported *both* the salinity and the temperature with a single dip/sample

Works well. Great price. This is not the waterproof version. But as long as you don’t drop it in the pool you are okay. I leave it inside the house, and go out to the pool with a cup and bring a cup of water inside to test. Also, I keep a bottle of water with in, because it says to rinse the sensor probes with bottled water after use. I give it a quick pour with a couple tablespoons of bottled water, so the same bottle of water lasts a long time. Great value for this model. If you are going to store it outside in the pool area, then I’d recommend getting the waterproof version. But if you are storing this inside, then you can save some money with this non-waterproof version. Seems to be very accurate compared to the professional test at the local pool store.

I dont recommend this product. I purchased this product with plans to do a salt treatment for my koi fish. I added salt to my koi tank at a slow pace and never directly to the fish. I deluded the salt in another container and slowly added it to the tank to allow for a slow salt level increase. I took measurements several times a day for a period of 5 days and the reading never went over 1000 ppm and on the 5th day the readings jumped from 1000 ppm to over 3000 ppm killing 5 out of my 8 kois. These were 8 year old beautiful imported good quality fish from Japan that I grew from a small size. It's devastating to look at my pond and not being able to see all the fish swimming. The delayed or wrong readings killed my koi fish and it cost me an incredible amount of money. Do not purchase this product.

This pool salt meter works great. My brother owns a pool supply store and also has a crew that cares for pools. He has one of these on every truck and it is spot on reliable. The biggest downside to owning a salt pool is having to take a biweekly trip to the local pool supply store to get a salinity reading. This saves me the trip. I keep my pool between 2,900 and 3,200 ppm salt level and this has been right on the readings the pool supply was giving me. It also gives a temperature reading which is an added bonus. Easy to use and easy to read. If you have a salt pool, get this meter. It just works!!!

Performed as advertised, but the small led made reading the measured values difficult. Also the buttons are very small and difficult to use. Still, it's a good value and accurate.

I've had this for 2 years. replace batteries recently. works perfect and simple. I have had the round one and it was wako to use and it's result varied right in front of your eyes!

Should have had one years ago for treating my koi pond , when doing a partial water change you can’t accurately know how much salt is in the pond without a meter like this.

Easy to read, works very well

It is not very accurate

Don’t buy - stopped working and only used it once!

It showed my pool was at about 4300 and I took a sample to get tested at pioneer pools and theirs showed 4200.
