PREPARING YOUR WATER BEFORE INSTALLATION
ECOLAB Aqua Balance Pure Comfort Mineral Pool & Spa ® Model 5.0 saline
chlorination systems operate by utilizing the sodium chloride that has been
added to the pool water, to produce sodium hypochlorite (liquid chlorine), through
the process of electrolysis.
In order for your ECOLAB Aqua Balance Pure Comfort Mineral Pool & Spa ®
Model 5.0 system to operate correctly, sodium chloride (salt) must be added
directly to the pool at least 24 hours before the installation of the equipment.
5kg of sodium chloride must be added for every 1,000 litres of pool water (ie: a
200,000-litre pool will require 1,000 kg of salt for start-up).
It is best to add the salt around the pool, and not load all salt in one section.
Once the salt has been added, brush the surface of the pool continuously until
the salt has all dissolved. You must never leave large amounts of salt on the
surface of the pool, as this may cause damage to the pool surface.
When you add the initial load of salt, you will need to add additional chlorine, as
the salt will cause a chlorine demand.
Your pool water should be balanced in the following range before turning your
ECOLAB Aqua Balance Pure Comfort Mineral Pool & Spa ® Model 5.0
system on;
