testing salt

[purplegirl]

I want to purchase a test kit. I've been directed to the Taylor K-2006. This test kit does not include a salt test. Is it necessary to test your salt or as long as the FC and other levels are good the salt doesn't need testing?

Do you have a salt water chlorinator? If so, then you need to be able to test your salt level. You can buy just that component and still get the Taylor kit. If you do NOT have a SWC, then you don't need to test salt levels.

The last time I surveyed www.amatoind.com they weren't carrying the Taylor K-1766 salt drop test, but you can always ask them about it when you place your order (or call them). If the price is retail ($23.70) or less, buy it at the same time as the K-2006.

Otherwise, try the following sources

NationalPoolCare.com

Other distributors carry it at full retail price.
