LaMotte Tracer Salt PockeTester handheld salt & TDS meter — 0–9,999 ppm, 32–149°F with carrying case and memory

The LaMotte Tracer Salt PockeTester Kit is a compact, professional-grade meter that instantly measures pool salt (NaCl), total dissolved solids (TDS), and water temperature with results saved to memory.

Compact and built for field use, the LaMotte 1749-KIT-01 delivers rapid, reliable readings for saltwater pools and spas. Housed in a rugged carrying case and supplied with a calibration standard, this handheld tester helps pool technicians and serious owners verify salt concentration, monitor water clarity via TDS, and log temperatures between 32.0°F and 149°F. The device stores up to 25 readings so you can track changes without reentering values.

How quickly and accurately does the PockeTester report salt and TDS readings?

Results appear instantly after dipping the probe into a sample, enabling fast decision-making during maintenance or troubleshooting. The meter reads Sodium Chloride (salt) and total dissolved solids across a wide 0–9,999 ppm span, so it covers low to very high concentrations commonly found in pools and industrial settings.

• Salt range: 0–9,999 ppm (suitable for standard and high-salinity pools)
• TDS range: 0–9,999 ppm to monitor dissolved solids and water purity
• Instant digital readout for quick verification

What temperature range and compensation features are included?

The tester measures water temperature from 32.0°F to 149°F, useful for seasonal tuning and equipment checks. Knowing temperature helps interpret conductivity-based readings like salt and TDS more accurately, and the built-in probe provides the temperature at the time of measurement for reliable context.

• Temperature measurement: 32.0°F–149°F for pool and spa conditions
• Simultaneous temperature readout alongside conductivity-based values
• Portable probe designed for rapid thermal response

How does the memory function and calibration support field work?

The PockeTester stores up to 25 test results, so technicians can collect multiple samples during an inspection and review values later. The kit ships with a calibration standard and a protective carrying case to keep the meter stable and factory-aligned between service calls, reducing downtime for routine recalibration.

• Memory stores up to 25 readings for batch reporting
• Includes calibration standard for onsite accuracy checks
• Rugged carrying case protects the meter and accessories

How is the PockeTester best used during pool maintenance?

Use the PockeTester to verify salt generator settings, confirm proper salt concentration after top-offs, and monitor TDS to decide when partial drain-and-refill is needed. Its portability and quick results make it ideal for routine rounds, service visits, and spot checks following chemical additions.

• Dip probe into a grab sample—results display instantly
• Confirm salt generator output and adjust feed rates accordingly
• Track TDS trends to schedule water replacement or filtration updates

Who is this for: The LaMotte Tracer Salt PockeTester Kit is aimed at pool service professionals, commercial pool operators, and serious residential owners who need fast, dependable measurements on site. If you require a portable instrument with broad measurement ranges, onboard memory, and a durable case for field environments, this kit delivers practical performance for routine maintenance, troubleshooting, and record-keeping.
