Most generic hydrometers aren't very accurate. If you were able to calibrate it against a refectometer (do you know anyone with one?) at both normal specific gravity and 1.009 you'd be in better shape.

Many online stores have refectometers and they are a good tool even at normal salinity. You could probably get one shipped in a day - before you get the salinity down too far.
