Salinity tester

[Captain Larry-DH]

To help determine if standing water is from inside/deck leak or underwater fitting I picked up one of these salinity testers for my onboard toolbox. I don’t want to taste bilge water. I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner. Inexpensive, and easy to use.

It seems to work as advertised in my first tests. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08GC7JCV3?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

Had them on my boat for the past 5 years. Believe @JamesG161 clued me into them.

I would think this would be more accurate than strips, and you could use it for a variety of things, like checking your watermaker or figuring out if you're in brackish water in a river.

Or if you over-salted the pasta!
