EngineerGeorge Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 We have a saltwater pool with a Jandy Aquapure 1400 chlorine generator. The Aquapure shows a salt concentration of 3300, and two pool companies show 3400 and 3600 using electronic salt testers. A chemical test at one of the companies came up with 2600. This pool is 60 ft from ocean water and I suspect hurricane irma blew a bunch of seawater into the pool awhile back. My question is: would sea water skew the salt tests relative to a pool which contains only pure pool salt? I am wondering if the additional minerals in sea salt might cause a higher reading on the electronic TDS salt measurements, Maybe I should drain and refill the pool, or perhaps recalibrate the Aquapure to compensate. I am told the 2600ppm reading from the chemical test is the most accurate. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pool Clown Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 If your salinity is indeed 2600, you probably did not get much, if any, sea water in the pool. No need to drain. If you get a low salt fault, adjust salt accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
