SALT & POOL WATER VOLUMES
• Whichkindofsalttouse:
Use only Sodium Chloride Salts
Useonlysodiumchloride(NaCl)saltthatisatleast99.8%pure.Itisalsoacceptabletouse
waterconditioningsaltpellets(thecompressedformsofevaporatedsalt).However,itwilltake
a 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 the
sanitizer. So, the purer the salt the better the performance of the electrolytic cell.
• OptimumSaltLevels
The ideal salt level in the pool water is between 2500-3500 ppm (parts per million). The optimal
level is 3000 ppm.
A too low salt level will reduce the efficiency of the saltwater system and result in low sanitizer
production. A high salt level may generate a salty taste to the pool water (this may occur at a salt
level above 3500-4000ppm). Too high of a salt level may damage the power supply and cause
corrosion to 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. Salt loss occurs only
when pool water is physically removed from the pool. Salt is not lost due to evaporation.
• AddingSalt
1
. Switch on the unit, then press and hold both and button for 5 seconds, the LED
 flashes“FP”.TheunitisnowinaFilterpumpworkingmodeandswitchthefilterpumponto
start the water circulation.
2
. KeeptheSaltwaterSystemturnedoff.
3
. Determine the amount of salt to be added (see “Salt Table”).
4
. Evenly spread the proper amount of salt around the inside perimeter of the pool.
5
. Avoid clogging the filter by not adding salt through the skimmer.
6
. Brushthepoolbottomtospeedupthedissolvingprocess.Donotallowsalttopileuponthe
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 (see “System Operation” section steps 2 to 4) and
set the saltwater pool system to desired operating time (see “Operating Time Table”).
• RemovingSalt
If too much salt has been added, the unit will beep and display “Code 92” (see “Alarm Codes”).
Youwillneedtolowerthesaltconcentration.Theonlywaytodoso,istopartiallydrainthepool
andrefillitwithfreshwater.Drainandrefillapproximately20%ofthepool’swateruntilthe“Code
92” disappears.
