Is the cell displaying an alarm, or conversely, not producing enough chlorine, and you want to check the water's salinity before adding salt or performing a partial drain? The \u003cstrong\u003eGondo 6031 salt tester\u003c\/strong\u003e is the tool you need: it measures the salt level and total dissolved solids (TDS) of your pool water in seconds, with a resolution of \u003cstrong\u003e10 ppm\u003c\/strong\u003e and an immediate display on an LCD screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEasy to use, waterproof, and compact, it allows for quick and reliable checking without having to send a sample to a lab or relying solely on the chlorinator's indicator — which itself can be prone to deviations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePool Salt Level: Why it's Crucial for Your Chlorinator\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA salt chlorinator can only function correctly within a precise salinity range, generally between \u003cstrong\u003e3 and 5 g\/L\u003c\/strong\u003e depending on the model. Below this threshold, the cell does not produce enough chlorine to disinfect the water, and the chlorinator triggers a low-salt alarm. Above this, salt overconcentration accelerates equipment corrosion, attacks metal parts, and can damage the cell itself in the long term.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, a pool's salt level naturally changes throughout the season: rain dilutes the water, splashes and overflows carry salt away, and fresh water top-ups lower the concentration. Conversely, evaporation without water renewal can concentrate salinity. Regularly checking the salt level with a reliable electronic tester is therefore essential to correctly manage salt additions and maintain the chlorinator in optimal operating conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTDS Measurement: What it Means in Practice\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gondo 6031 measures \u003cstrong\u003eTDS\u003c\/strong\u003e — \u003cem\u003eTotal Dissolved Solids\u003c\/em\u003e. This value, expressed in \u003cstrong\u003eppm (parts per million)\u003c\/strong\u003e, represents the total concentration of all substances dissolved in the water: salt, minerals, limescale, chemical treatment products. The higher the TDS, the more minerals and residues the water contains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a salt-treated pool, TDS is directly correlated with the salt content: this is why the Gondo 6031 is used as a salt tester by measuring the water's TDS. Its measurement range of \u003cstrong\u003e0 to 19,990 ppm\u003c\/strong\u003e largely covers the needs of a domestic pool, whose TDS is generally between 3,000 and 6,000 ppm for a salt concentration of 3 to 6 g\/L.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAutomatic Temperature Compensation (ATC)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWater conductivity — and thus TDS measurement — varies with temperature: hot water conducts electricity better than cold water, which skews readings if the\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gondo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52139700748625,"sku":"CCEI00054","price":41.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/5880\/9425\/files\/5059-12841-0-testeur-de-sel-6031-gondo__98348__68088__98554.1741081491.1280.1280.png?v=1760741957","url":"https:\/\/www.poolplanet.com\/en\/products\/testeur-de-sel-6031-gondo","provider":"Pool Planet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
