Default Electronic Water Chem Tester or Monitoring???
Saw PinPoint products and was wondering if there is a monitoring kit for all chems? Having an issue with my salt level (decreasing) and salinety tester may be off but not sure Showed 2 variants (0.021 last night and 0.019 this morning). Want the most acurate tester out there... Hopefuly for all chems... Anyone?

What are you currently using to test your salt? Are you using a refractometer? They seem to be the best choice for determining salinity. I recently shifted over to one with automatice temp adjustment and am quite happy. Check E-Bay. They are about 1/2 the price vs. your LFS. Time it right and you can get one delivered for $30ish.

I agree that a refractometer is the best way to go for testing salinity.
