Does it differentiate between salt/fresh water?

I am not aware of any make or model that has the capability to distinguish between fresh or saltwater.

It has been a few months since I used it, but I am pretty sure it doesn't test for salt.

No - the system tells you when the salt is low which happened to me twice this summer so far. I added 20 or 25 lbs of salt to the pool to bring it back up.

Yes, but it won't test for salt but the tests don't care if it's regular or salt system

Salt water is okay. :) I bought this for my trip to the Dominican and it was fine.

Maybe. I think it will depend on a couple of things... How much iron is in your water and what kind of softener program you have. Iron is one component of hardness so the more iron you remove the less hardness there is to correct. So given that, your softener MAY require less salt to do the job. I do know from talking with the manufacturer of the iron unit that the softener need to go AFTER the iron unit. Ours was predominantly an Iron problem and this unit seems to have corrected the majority of our problem. We haven't added a softener yet, but may; and the unit we get may be smaller because the iron unit is doing a great job. Maybe. I think it will depend on a couple of things...

It neutralizes chlorine and chloramines, it will not affect salinity. Salt your heart out ;)

If you use colored salt it will have an effect. If you use plain table salt on several people you will see different colored water depending on the person not on the salt. Just on myself I get different colors depending on what is being detoxified. Try not to use sea salt. To many minerals.

This switch simply indicates whether water is 'flowing' over the plates in the salt cell. The readings are supplied via the much thicker cable between the cell and the control box.

No, it does not read salt level by itself. It measures TOTAL dissolved solids.

We set our pool up in May, 2014 and it is now July, 2014. We have not had to add any salt. It is my understanding that the "low salt" light will come on if needed. Very happy to say our pool has tested perfect each week and we haven't had to do anything except the usual Regular Filter changes. Absolutely nothing with the saltwater filter!

I'm not sure, it tests chlorine, ph, and alkalinity. If that's all you need for a salt pool, the yes.

Sorry very hard typing on my phone. But hopefully you understand. I love my salt water setup. I don't mess with any real chemicals.

Mostly the same but I can see some external differences. The Salter has markings on the yellow buttons while Healtho doesn't. Also the salter has blue markin

The meter measures Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) in your water. Salt is one component of TDS, but the meter does not measure each component. It measures the total TDS

Yes it does. When you fill it you can see the marks on the metal on the inside and the see through tube on the outside that has a red line to show the water level.

Ed jones beat me to it with his response. The type of water filtered varies in the field every time. In a lab, not very useful. But I agree with you there should be some type of standard test. Maybe there is?
