Salt Testing Use
This handheld meter helps you check the salt concentration in your pool water before adding more salt. Accurate salt testing can help prevent over-salting, under-salting, and unnecessary service alerts from the salt chlorine generator.
If you maintain a Hayward in-ground salt system, the Hayward W3AQR15 AquaRite salt chlorination system is a related system to review for salt range and maintenance reference.
Compatibility Notes
The GLX-SALTMETER is intended for saltwater pool testing and is especially useful for owners using Hayward salt chlorine generator systems. It should not be treated as a replacement for the salt cell, control board, flow switch, or regular pool water testing.
For smaller AquaRite system comparisons, the Hayward W3AQR9 AquaRite salt chlorination system may be reviewed separately.
How to Use
Calibrate the meter according to the instructions before relying on the reading. Dip the probe into a clean pool water sample, allow the reading to stabilize, and compare the result with the recommended salt range for your salt chlorine generator.
Do not test directly near freshly added salt. Allow the pump to circulate the water fully before retesting so the reading is more reliable.
Saltwater Pool Maintenance Tips
Salt readings can be affected by calibration, water temperature, dirty probes, old batteries, and improper sampling. If readings seem unusual, clean the probe, check the batteries, recalibrate the meter, and test again before adding more salt.
If your salt cell needs physical cleaning support, the Hayward GLX Cellstand cleaning stand may be useful for compatible Hayward Turbo Cell maintenance.
For broader saltwater care, the Natural Chemistry pool salt water maintenance kit may be reviewed as part of a regular pool maintenance routine.
Storage and Care
Rinse the probe with clean water after use and store the meter dry according to the instructions. Keep the meter away from direct sunlight, pool chemicals, and high heat. Replace batteries when the display becomes weak or readings become inconsistent.
