Difference in PPM, which one is correct?

[cjryan33]

Thanks for the information. I have ordered the Taylor K-1766 salt water test kit. I would hope that my salt cell is not going bad since it is just over a year old. Once the kit comes in and lets say I test the water and it says the the pool is at 3000ppm. From what I read above, I should be able to go into the controller and calibrate it and change it to display 3000ppm?

I wouldn't worry, simply because of a variation in test results.

As far as calibration -- some can be. Look up your exact model manual here,

and see.

I have the Taylor kit Ben mentioned---soooo much eaiser than the strips, with accurate, repeatable results.

The Goldlines cannot really be calibrated for salt level. The best you can do is replace the average salt level (shown in main display) with the instaneous salt level (shown in the SWG diagnostics menu) which explained in the manual.
