It measures from 0 to 9.99 g\/L\n(grams per liter) with an accuracy of \u003cstrong\u003e± 1% of full scale\u003c\/strong\u003e,\nmeaning a displayed resolution of 0.01 g\/L. This level of accuracy is perfectly\nsuited for monitoring the proper functioning of a \u003cstrong\u003esalt chlorinator\u003c\/strong\u003e,\nwhich typically requires a stable salt level between 3 and 5 g\/L depending\non the model. The device operates on a 9V battery, features a \u003cstrong\u003edigital\nLCD screen\u003c\/strong\u003e, a memory function for the last measurement, and an\nautomatic shut-off to save battery life. It comes with a\n\u003cstrong\u003ecalibration solution\u003c\/strong\u003e to verify the accuracy of the device\nbefore use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy measure a pool's salt level with a chlorinator?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA salt chlorinator produces chlorine through the electrolysis of salt dissolved\nin water. The efficiency of this production depends directly on the\n\u003cstrong\u003esalt concentration\u003c\/strong\u003e: if too low, the chlorinator does not\nproduce enough chlorine, and the water turns green. If too high, production\nbecomes excessive, the water becomes irritating to eyes and skin, and the\ncell's electrodes wear out prematurely. Most residential chlorinators\ndisplay a salt level on their control screen, but this measurement is often\n\u003cstrong\u003eapproximate\u003c\/strong\u003e and can drift over time. An independent electronic\ntester allows you to verify the chlorinator's measurement and obtain a reliable value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe salt level naturally varies throughout the season. \u003cstrong\u003eRain\ndilutes\u003c\/strong\u003e the salty pool water—a heavy downpour can lower the salt\nlevel by several tenths of a gram per liter. Conversely,\n\u003cstrong\u003eevaporation\u003c\/strong\u003e of water concentrates the remaining salt, as salt\ndoes not evaporate with water. After several weeks of high heat without\nrain, the salt level can rise by several tenths. Finally, \u003cstrong\u003ebackwashes\u003c\/strong\u003e\nof the filter discharge salty water from the circuit, which gradually\ndecreases salinity if only fresh water is used to compensate. For all these reasons, it is\nrecommended to check the salt level \u003cstrong\u003eonce a week during the season\u003c\/strong\u003e,\nand immediately after a period of intense rain or a partial drain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMeasurement Range 0 to 9.99 g\/L: Suitable for All Residential Chlorinators\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe measurement range of 0 to 9.99 g\/L (equivalent to 0 to 9,990 ppm — parts\nper million) widely covers the needs of residential pools. Most domestic\nchlorinators operate within a range of \u003cstrong\u003e3 to 5 g\/L\u003c\/strong\u003e — for\nexample, CCEI Limpido and Oxeo chlorinators recommend a salt level between\n3.5 and 4.5 g\/L, while some Hayward and Pentair models tolerate up to 5 or 6 g\/L.\nSome low-salinity (less than 1 g\/L) or high-salinity (above 8 g\/L) chlorinators\nexist but remain rare in residential use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eaccuracy of ± 1% of full scale\u003c\/strong\u003e means that\nthe device can display up to ±0.10 g\/L deviation over the full range.\nAt 4 g\/L, for example, the true value can be between 3.90 and 4.10 g\/L.\nThis accuracy is largely sufficient for pool use, where the chlorinator's\noperating thresholds are generally spaced by several tenths of a gram.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSimple to Use: Dip the Probe, Read the Instant Result\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUsing the electronic salt tester is extremely simple. Turn on the device,\nimmerse the probe in the pool water — preferably at a \u003cstrong\u003edepth of at\nleast 30 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e to avoid the surface layer which may be less homogeneous\n— wait a few seconds for the reading to stabilize, then read the result\ndisplayed on the LCD screen. The value is displayed in grams per liter (g\/L).\nThe device has a \u003cstrong\u003ememory function for the last measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e,\nwhich allows you to remove the probe from the water without losing the displayed result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor accurate measurements, it is recommended to perform the test when\nthe filtration pump is running, so that the water is well circulated\nand homogeneous throughout the pool. Avoid measuring immediately after\nadding salt to the pool: wait at least 24 hours and several filtration\ncycles for the salt to be completely dissolved and evenly distributed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCalibration with Supplied Solution: Ensuring Long-Term Accuracy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLike any measuring instrument, the salt tester can drift slightly\nover time. The supplied \u003cstrong\u003ecalibration solution\u003c\/strong\u003e allows you to\ncheck and correct the accuracy of the device before each important use.\nThe calibration solution contains a precisely known salt concentration\n(usually around 3 or 4 g\/L, depending on the manufacturer). Dip\nthe probe into this reference solution: if the device displays the expected\nvalue, it is correctly calibrated. If the deviation is significant (more than\n0.2 or 0.3 g\/L), consult the manual to proceed with device calibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRegular calibration is particularly important if you use\nthe tester intensively, or if you notice inconsistent results\ncompared to your chlorinator's display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eInterpreting Results: What to Do Based on Measured Salt Level?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the measurement is taken, compare the result to the range recommended\nby your chlorinator's manufacturer (indicated in the manual or on\nthe casing label). If the salt level is \u003cstrong\u003ebelow the recommended minimum\u003c\/strong\u003e,\nadd pool salt to the basin. The amount of salt to add is easily calculated:\nto increase the level by 1 g\/L in a 50 m³ pool, you need to add 50 kg of salt\n(1 kg of salt per m³ and per g\/L). Dissolve the salt by running the filtration\nfor 24 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf the salt level is \u003cstrong\u003eabove the recommended maximum\u003c\/strong\u003e,\nthe only solution is to \u003cstrong\u003edilute the water\u003c\/strong\u003e by partially draining\nthe pool and refilling it with fresh water. For example, to go from 5 g\/L\nto 4 g\/L in a 50 m³ pool, approximately 10 m³ of salty water must be replaced\nwith fresh water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf the salt level is within the recommended range but your chlorinator\ndisplays a different value, it is likely that the chlorinator's internal measurement\nis out of adjustment. Trust the independent tester and adjust the chlorinator's\nsettings if possible, or simply note the discrepancy to interpret it in the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAutomatic Shut-off and 9V Battery: Long-Lasting Power\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe tester operates on a standard \u003cstrong\u003e9V battery\u003c\/strong\u003e, easily\nreplaceable. The \u003cstrong\u003eautomatic shut-off\u003c\/strong\u003e function turns off the device\nafter a few minutes of inactivity, which preserves battery life. In normal\nuse (one measurement per week during the swimming season), a battery can last\nseveral seasons. A low battery indicator appears on the screen when it's time\nto replace the battery.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CCEI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52139705467217,"sku":"MPTE0300","price":39.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/5880\/9425\/files\/5064-12323-0-testeur-de-sel-electronique-pour-piscine-avec-solution-etalonnage-ccei__78652__74272.1741081497.1280.1280.png?v=1760742012","url":"https:\/\/www.poolplanet.com\/en\/products\/testeur-electronique-de-sel-pour-piscine-ccei","provider":"Pool Planet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
