• The ideal salt level is between 3200-4000 ppm (parts per
million) with 3600 ppm being the optimal level. Calculate the
number of gallons in the pool and add salt according to the
chart on page 10.
• A LOW salt level will reduce the efficiency of the Excelpool
System and result in low chlorine production.
• Excessively HIGH salt levels will cause the Excelpool
System to shut down, making pool water unsafe for bathers.
LOW salt levels can cause the Excelpool System not to
operate efficiently, causing the same.
TYPE OF SALT TO USE
It is important to use only sodium chloride (NaCl) that is 99%
pure. This is common food quality or water softener salt
available in 40-80 lb/bag at your local store. It is also
acceptable to use water conditioning salt pellets; however it will
take longer for them to dissolve. Do not use rock salt, salt with
more than 1% yellow prussiate of soda, salt with more than 1%
of anti-caking additives, or iodized salt.
