Question about the salt test in the PS234s

[Tcap]

Hi,

I have not added any salt in a couple of weeks and it's been over a week since I dropped it the first time. The filter runs everyday for at least 8 hours. Enough to turn the water over at least once. I would hope that week would be enough time for the system to catch up. I think I may just try to find a pool store that tests salt and see where that comes in. Maybe I'm just doing something wrong with the test in the PS234 kit.

I am not using anything to drop the PH right now. 7.5 seems to be in the middle of the 7.2 and 7.8 range so I thought that was pretty good. Is there a reason you think 7.5 is high? I have seen other threads where they thought 7.5 was good.

Thanks for your help!

7.5 pH is quite alright. Once it gets up to 7.6, I would start thinking of adding no more than a pint of Muriatic acid, and test after about 6 hours circulation.

Once you get your salt level checked without using a conductivity meter that pool stores like to use, you can get an idea of what to do. I would still trust the PS234 salt over a pool supplier test any day. The instructions are fairly straightforward.

Hope this helps.
