Water Chemistry – Chemistry Requirements & Adding Salt
Standard ranges for pool chemistry. These levels reflect national standards; it is necessary to be within these ranges in order to have
effective water sanitation.
Free Available Chlorine 1.0 - 3.0 ppm
Salinity 3000 - 4500 ppm
pH 7.2 - 7.8 (7.5 best)
Stabilizer (Cyanuric Acid) 30 - 50 ppm
Total Alkalinity 80 - 120 ppm
Calcium Hardness 200 - 400 ppm
Saturation Index -0.2 to +0.2 (0 best)
Phosphates 0 to 100 ppb (0 best)
Nitrates 0 to 10 ppm (0 best)
Iron 0
Copper 0
Other metals 0
Ammonia 0
TDS <1200
Adding Salt. This system is designed to operate most efficiently when maintained between a 3500 and 4000 ppm. When adding large
quantities of salt, independently test the existing salt level and add in portions, retesting at each stage.
IMPORTANT: Before adding salt at any time, ALWAYS perform an independent water test to measure pre-existing salt levels.
The chart below indicates how much salt is required based on the volume of the pool and the current salt level. Use only salt that is
99% pure sodium chloride.
