AquaChek Salt Titrators Pool & Spa Salt Test Strips, White — 40-Count, 400–7,000 ppm Comparator

AquaChek Salt Titrators White (561161) are single-use test strips that quickly measure salt (sodium chloride) levels in pools and spas from 400 to 7,000 ppm.

These test strips use proven Hach chemistry in an easy dip-and-compare format, delivering reliable salt readings without complicated equipment. Each bottle contains 40 strips and a reusable color-comparator on the side of the bottle, making them convenient for regular maintenance, troubleshooting after water changes, and confirming proper salt levels for salt-chlorine generator systems.

How do these strips give a salt reading so quickly?

Dip the strip into the pool or spa water and immediately compare the developed color to the printed chart on the bottle; results appear within minutes. The chemistry on the strip reacts specifically to chloride levels, producing distinct color shades that correspond to specific ppm values.

• Reaction time: a few minutes per test
• Range: 400–7,000 ppm sodium chloride
• Visual readout: color chart printed on the bottle for direct comparison
• No electronic meters or reagents required

Are these strips accurate enough for routine pool and spa maintenance?

Yes—AquaChek Salt Titrators are formulated with Hach-standard test chemistry to provide dependable spot checks of salt concentration. For ongoing maintenance they offer a cost-effective way to confirm levels between more precise digital meter calibrations.

• Industry-grade reagents integrated into each strip
• Consistent single-use format reduces cross-contamination risk
• Best used as periodic verification or quick troubleshooting tool

How many tests come in each bottle and how do I store them?

Each bottle contains 40 individually exposed strips and a built-in color comparator. Keep the bottle tightly closed and stored in a cool, dry place to maintain reagent effectiveness; avoid prolonged heat and humidity.

• Quantity: 40 test strips per bottle
• Comparator: reusable color chart on the bottle side
• Storage tips: reseal cap, store away from direct sunlight and high humidity
• Single-use strips minimize handling and simplify tests

When should I use a salt strip instead of a digital meter?

Use strips for fast spot checks, routine weekly maintenance, or when you need an immediate sense of whether salt levels are within an acceptable range. If you require exact numbers for calibration or troubleshooting sophisticated equipment, confirm with a calibrated digital meter.

• Ideal for quick checks and routine monitoring
• Useful after adding salt, water top-offs, or refilling
• Follow up with a meter when precise ppm accuracy is necessary

Who is this product for? AquaChek Salt Titrators White (561161) suit pool and spa owners, service technicians, and property managers who want a low-cost, portable method to check sodium chloride concentrations. They are especially handy for anyone using a salt-chlorine generator, caretakers performing weekly maintenance, or professionals who need a fast on-site verification tool before making chemical adjustments.
