    all pool stores are variable in their water testing. It depends on the person doing the testing. If they use a meter to test for salt ask them how often they calibrate it. It it is farly often (at least every few weeks) then it should be ok.

    I think you need to drop your AutoPiliot to level 1.

    Read the startup section of the manual (page 11)... I normally run 80-90%, and should bump to level 2!!!

    Thanks!

    Leslie's also sells a salt test kit on-line made by Taylor. It uses the std test tube and includes R-0630 (chromate indicator) and R-0718 (Silver Nitrate Reagent).

    I just tried it for the first time just now as I'm using 80lb bags of softener salt to weigh down my drop-in steps. The water tested at 1000ppm and the kit worked EXACTLY as described.

    Not that I care about salt as I don't have an SWG, but I wanted to play with the new toy!
