Where mixing occurs with fresh water runoff from river mouths or near melting glaciers, seawater can be substantially less saline. The most saline open sea is the Red Sea, where high rates of evaporation, low precipitation and river inflow, and confined circulation result in unusually salty water. The salinity in isolated bodies of water (for example, the Dead Sea) can be considerably greater still.

It certainly underlines the need to be vigilant in your water testing. Saltwater master test kits usually contain tests for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH and sometimes alkalinity. It is also good to have a Hydrometer handy to check your salt levels Sea water is certainly a more than just h20! It certainly underlines the need to be vigilant in your water testing.
