Description
Meytec GT-500S digital salt tester
The Meytec GT-500S digital salt tester is a compact handheld meter for quickly measuring the salt level in swimming pools, spas and other water applications. With its integrated temperature sensor and easy to read display, this tester helps you check whether the salinity is within the correct range for salt chlorinators and bath comfort.
Digital salt tester for saltwater pools
The Meytec GT-500S digital salt tester is designed for saltwater pools and spas where the salt concentration must stay within a defined band for reliable chlorinator performance. Instead of using manual strip tests, you simply immerse the probe, wait a few seconds and read the result directly in parts per million (ppm) or milligrams per litre (mg/l).
This makes it easier to dose salt accurately during pool start up, after backwashing or refilling, and whenever you want to verify the salinity indicated by the salt chlorinator control panel.
Measurement range and integrated temperature
The GT-500S offers a wide measuring range that covers the typical salt concentrations used in private and commercial saltwater pools. The integrated temperature sensor allows the instrument to automatically compensate for temperature effects on conductivity based salt readings.
- Typical salt measurement range covering standard saltwater pool levels.
- Display in ppm or mg/l for easy comparison with manufacturer guidelines.
- Integrated temperature sensor for compensated measurement.
- Fast stabilisation for quick checks at the poolside.
Thanks to the clear numeric display, readings can be read at a glance and compared with the recommended salt level for your specific salt chlorinator model.
Robust and user friendly design
The Meytec GT-500S digital salt tester is built in a pen style housing that is comfortable to hold and easy to carry in a test kit. Operation is reduced to a few simple buttons, so both homeowners and pool technicians can use the tester without extensive training.
- Compact, lightweight design with protective cap for the sensor.
- Clear digital display for salt and temperature values.
- Battery powered for mobile use around the pool and plant room.
- Simple push button operation for on or off and mode selection.
The robust housing is suitable for use around water and in technical rooms, while the protective cap helps to shield the measuring cell when the tester is not in use.
Calibration and maintenance
To maintain accurate readings, the Meytec GT-500S digital salt tester can be calibrated with suitable standard solutions. Regular calibration and basic cleaning keep the sensor in good condition and ensure that the displayed salt level reflects the real concentration in the pool.
- Supports calibration with salinity or conductivity standards.
- Rinse the probe with clean water after each measurement.
- Store the tester dry with the cap fitted between uses.
- Replace the batteries when the low battery indicator appears.
For best results, calibration should be carried out periodically, especially at the beginning of the swimming season and after intensive use, using fresh reference solutions suitable for saltwater pool ranges.
Typical applications
The Meytec GT-500S digital salt tester is ideal for any installation where salt content needs to be monitored regularly. It complements electronic salt chlorination systems and supports precise water balance management.
- Routine salt level checks in residential saltwater pools.
- Salinity control in spas and hot tubs with salt disinfection.
- Verification of salt dosing after refilling or backwashing.
- Basic salinity monitoring in aquaculture or other low salinity systems.
Used together with Meytec calibration and care solutions, the GT-500S forms part of a complete toolkit for reliable saltwater pool analysis and stable chlorinator performance.
