The price is extremely good and certainly is available in the UK with  prices  discounted as low as £33, making it far less than other similar testers. I have no connections with the company, but it gives fast accurate digital results in seconds and  tests for free chlorine bromine pH and total alkalinity. It is called Aquachek Trutest Meter and can be seen at this site http://www.aquachek.com/default.asp, for suppliers and prices use Google. Baz    Report

They are both good, but the Scuba+ does more and I think is easier to use. It only takes a few mins to do the tests. I know very little about salt pools as mine is an auto dosing chlor/PH system. The difference has been done to death on other threads, but I would think that as long as the chlor in your salt pool is at the correct level then the salt can't be far behind. There may be others that can throw more light on it for you! Please don't think that just because you don't get an answer within an hour or so that the folks on this forum don't want to know. I for one usually look in quite frequently, but at the moment we have family staying with us and the PC takes a back seat, big time!! I would think that I am not alone in this?? John. The only difference between the men & the boys is the size & the shape & the price of their toys!!    Report

Thanks again to all    Report

Its good to get new visitors and new members and all are welcome. But please understand that everyone contributes to this site as an assistance voluntarily and its a bit thick to say that we ‘couldn't be bothered’. It’s the middle of the season, you must know that and I for one do not get to my bed before 1am any night as the work load is crippling. I contribute as much as I can as you can see from my post total, but I cannot offer comment to everyone, especially if it was covered amply in the same week on other threads or by other posters. Never the less I hope that you have found what you are looking for.   Andrew   www.Poolguy.fr    Report
