Water Chemistry Guidelines

Required Salt and Pool / Spa Chemistry Readings

Table of recommended readings for chlorine, pH, alkalinity, hardness, and salinity.

Do not let salinity level drop below 2500 ppm.

Adding Salt to Pool or Spa

Adding Salt

Instructions and precautions for adding salt to the pool water.

For pools it is best to empty the required salt into the shallow end of the pool...

Type of Salt to Use

The more pure the salt the better the life and performance...

Do not use calcium chloride as a source of salt...

Salinity Level

Required salinity range and how to achieve it.

The Compu Chlor chlorine generator requires a salinity level of 2500 – 3000ppm.

Specifies the target salinity range for the Compu Chlor generator.

If the salt level is low, determine the number of litres in the pool...

Procedure for adding salt based on pool volume and current salt level.

If salt content is too high you will need to reduce the level of water...

To initially start a pool with the correct amount of salt, add salt to the pool at a rate of 25 kgs of salt for every 10,000 litres of water...

Initial salt addition rate for new pool setup.
