SALT & POOL WATER VOLUMES
• Whichkindofsalttouse:
Use only Sodium Chloride Salts
Useonlysodiumchloride(NaCl)saltthatisatleast99.8%pure.Itisalsoacceptabletouse
waterconditioningsaltpellets(thecompressedformsofevaporatedsalt).However,itwilltakea
longer time for them to dissolve.
Do not use iodized or yellow (yellow prussiate of soda) colored salt.
Salt is added to the pool water and the electrolytic cell uses the salt to create chlorine. The purer
the salt the better the performance of the electrolytic cell.
• OptimumSaltLevels
Theidealsaltlevelinthepoolwaterisbetween2500-3500ppm(partspermillion).Theoptimal
level is 3000 ppm. A too low salt level will reduce the efficiency of the Saltwater System and
resultinlowchlorineproduction.Ahighsaltlevelmaygenerateasaltytastetothepoolwater(this
mayoccuratasaltlevelabove3500-4000ppm).Toohighasaltlevelmaydamagethepower
supply and cause corrosion to the pool metal fixtures and accessories. The Salt Table page of
this manual, shows the correct dosage of salt needed. The salt in the pool is constantly recycled.
The loss of salt is due only to pool water being physically removed from the pool. Salt is not lost
due to evaporation.
• AddingSalt
1. Switch the filter pump on to start the water circulation.
2. Keep the Saltwater System turned off.
3. Determinetheamountofsalttobeadded(see“SaltTable”).
4. Evenly spread the proper amount of salt around the inside perimeter of the pool.
5. Avoid clogging the filter. Do not add salt through the skimmer.
6. Brushthepoolbottomtospeedupthedissolvingprocess.Donotallowsalttopileuponthe
bottom of the pool. Run the filter pump 24 consecutive hours to thoroughly dissolve the salt.
7. After 24 hours and if all the salt is dissolved, turn on the Saltwater System, press button
until you hear a “beep”, code “00” flashing and set the saltwater pool system to desired
operatingtime(see“OperatingTimeTable”).
• RemovingSalt
Iftoomuchsalthasbeenadded,theunitwillbeepanddisplay“Code92”(see“AlarmCodes”).
You will need to lower the salt concentration. The only way to do so, is to partially drain the pool
andrefillitwithfreshwater.Drainandrefillapproximately20%ofthepool’swateruntilthe“Code
92” disappears.
