6.1 Daily
1. Chlorine Test. Test pool water chlorine level with a reliable test kit. Maintain an ideal range by adjusting the
chlorineoutputlevelonthepowerpack(seeSection5.4).Therecommendedfreechlorinelevelis1.0-3.0ppm.

3. Total Alkalinity Test. Test pool water for total alkalinity with a test kit. Take steps necessary to maintain an
alkalinityof80-120ppm(seeSection4.4).
4. Calcium Hardness. Test pool water for calcium hardness level using test kit or by having a water sample tested
byapoolprofessional.Adjustasnecessarytomaintainacalciumhardnessof175-400ppm(seeSection4.4).
6.2 Monthly
1. Check the cell. It is recommended that every month the cell be removed and inspected for scale formation and/or
debris.Ifcellneedstobecleaned,seeSection6.3forinstructions.
2. Salt Level Test.

salt to add to reach the desired level. Be conservative when adding salt as it is easier to add more if needed than it is
to dilute if there is too much salt.

5. Metals Test. It is recommended that the pool water be tested periodically for the presence of metals such as iron,
and manganese. These metals should not be present in the pool water. If those metals are present, contact your
local pool professional.
