Oakton CTSTestr™ 50C Cup-Style Waterproof Pocket Conductivity/TDS/Salinity Tester

Oakton CTSTestr™ 50C Cup-Style Waterproof Pocket Conductivity/TDS/Salinity Tester, Premium 50 Series is an underrated digital water tester. It seems to be a branded tester from Eutech which is an Australian company that makes some of the best digital testers out there. One of the key features of this tester is how easy it is to calibrate and how stable it is.

Reliable 3-in-1 tool measures conductivity, TDS, and salinity

Redesigned leakproof cap functions as a sample cup and stabilizing base to stand the meter upright

Automatic temperature compensation ensures accurate reading in varying environments

Protective plastic storage case, lanyard, and 4 AAA batteries.

MORE ABOUT THIS ITEM

These CTS testers make measuring water quality easier and faster. The large display offers a better viewing angle, has indicators for battery life, readiness, and calibration, and shows both the parameter and temperature readings at the same time. The testers are available in a pin-type or a cup style measuring sensor and measure conductivity, TDS, and salinity all in one instrument.

To enhance field use, the cap was redesigned to be leakproof and can be attached to the top of the meter when not being used—no more lost caps! The cap features a fill line, so you know how much sample you need for an accurate reading when using the cap as a sample cup. The wider design provides a base to keep the meter upright for hands-free measurements. The keypad features a fourth key to simplify menu navigation while keeping convenient one-touch calibration. The housing is compatible with lanyards to prevent losing or dropping but is still waterproof.

I mention easy calibration because sometimes getting these digital salinity meters to read the correct salt level can be a challenge. Oakton makes it easy with this tester by allowing you to plus or minus the salinity reading to match the calibration solution. But calibrating the device is something you don’t need to do often because this is a very stable tester. 

It is a bonus that this tester also does TDS (Total Dissolved Solids. TDS is basically all of the stuff left behind when pure water evaporates. If you are wondering how to get an accurate TDS reading in a salt pool the equation is pretty simple. Take a Salinity reading. Takes a TDS reading. Subtract the Salinity from the TDS reading. Take a tap water TDS reading. Salinity – TDS = X.

X – Tapwater reading = TDS. 

Example: Salinity is 3200 ppm. TDS reading is 4500 ppm. True TDS is 1300 ppm. Tab Water has a TDS of 300 ppm. The total TDS of the pool is 1000 ppm

All in all, this is a great tester made by a solid company in Oakton.

Can I Use Clorox Bleach in my Pool?

Image
Regular Unscented Bleach I started doing pool service when I was 16 years old back in 1988. I took a break from the industry and did some Real Estate Investing and ran a small business for awhile. But I always loved working outdoors and so I decided to do pool service again. So I have about 15 years of practical experience in the field. My specialty has always been water chemistry as I was formally trained by an experts in the field. So I am well versed in most of the chemicals that are on the market today and I have used and tested a lot of different products. So when you hear those in the industry discourage and even slander anyone who uses bleach in their pool, you may think that it is not a product that you should use. In fact as you read this article you will find that using bleach and only bleach is a safe and smart choice. There is a lot of ignorance surrounding household bleach and the use of bleach in a swimming pool. Here is a video I made that goes in more detail on usin

Mr. Pen Non-contact Voltage Meter - Don't Get Electrocuted!

Image
One of the biggest issues you will run into with anything connected to an AC power is if that device or equipment is receiving power. In the pool service industry, this often is the case when you find that a pool pump won’t turn on. Or if a pool timer doesn't on, is it receiving power? Also for repairs with so many breakers being unmarked, how do you know you turned off the right breaker. Bottom line, a non-contact detector like the Mr. Pen is an easy way to see if power is going to the equipment/device and the line is active. A non-contact voltage detector is just that. You don’t need to make contact with the line like with a Multimeter. Plus you don’t need to adjust any settings or knobs to get a voltage reading. Simply hold the Mr. Pen over a cord or wire whip and if there is AC power a red light will turn on and an audible beep will come out of the device. A very easy way to tell if power or a current is present.  To order: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092LFYTG5?&_encoding=UT
