• ONLY USE APPROVED POOL GRADE SALT THAT IS SPECIFICALLY LABELLED
FOR SWIMMING POOL AND SPA USE
• SALT MUST BE GREATER THAN 99% PURE
• DO NOT USE ROCK SALT, SALT WITH YELLOW PRUSSIATE OF SODA, SALT
WITH ANTI-CAKING ADDITIVES OR IODIZED SALT.
• ADD SALT TO POOL WATER AS FAR AWAY FROM THE FILTRATION SYSTEM
SUCTION POINTS AS POSSIBLE.
• CLOSE MAIN DRAIN VALVE WHERE APPLICABLE BEFORE ADDING SALT FOR
AT LEAST 24 HOURS
• REMOVE ANY SUCTION DRIVEN POOL CLEANERS FROM THE WATER FOR
AT LEAST 24 HOURS.
INITIAL SALT DOSING
Do not assume a pool full of water whether it is new or old has a zero salinity. A
substantial amount of salt may be present in the water if the pool was previously treated
with liquid chlorine or if the pool is filled by a water source high in salt. Depending on the
geographical area, the tap water may have a high salinity level.
It is important to test the water first before calculating the initial salt dosage or you may
over-salt the pool water.
Use the SALT ADDITION TABLE on the next page to quickly calculate the amount of salt
required to bring your water to the ideal salinity level of 3000ppm. You will need to know
your current salinity level in parts per million (ppm) and your pool water volume in Litres.
Please note: Although the salt chlorinator diagnostics will advise when to add salt and
when not to add salt, you must always perform a salt test using a test kit or salinity meter
to confirm the findings before making a salt addition.
