3. POOL PREPARATION
Important Notes
• TIP 1: If you turn the Output Control Knob fully clockwise and the Meter needle reaches the top of
the GREEN then you have enough salt. DO NOT ADD ANY MORE SALT.
• TIP 2: If you turn the Output Control Knob fully clockwise and the Meter needle reaches the RED
then you have either just enough salt (if just reaches RED) or too much salt (if it goes in to the RED).
DO NOT ADD ANY MORE SALT.
• The colder the water the lower your output but this does not mean you need more salt. There will
always be less chlorine demand in colder water.
• We recommend 3.5kg of salt per 1,000L (1m
3
) of pool water. A 50,000L (50m
3
) new pool needs
approximately 175kg of salt to achieve 3000ppm.
• The unit can operate on mineral/magnesium chloride salts, allow an extra 20-30% on the ppm for
these types of salts.
• Salt should always be added to the shallow end of the pool and brushed until thoroughly dissolved.
Do not let the salt settle on the pool floor as this may cause damage or staining to the surface. Use
your pool brush to mix the salt into the water.
• Running the pump will mix the water and help the salt to dissolve. Only run the pump in the first
8-12 hours (ensure the Cell is switched off) to allow the salt to dissolve.
• Low salt levels (<1500ppm) will destroy the coating on the Cell and void the warranty.
• The Pool Pro unit is designed for use with swimming pool water balanced in accordance with the
Langlier Saturation Index with a pH range of 6.8-7.8. As previously advised, for best performance
and operation of your Pool Pro unit, certain water balances must be maintained within your
swimming pool. Have your water tested regularly. Transport the test water in an opaque container
and have the test done as soon as possible for the most accurate results.

Consult your local Pool Pro Professional to correctly balance your pool water. Follow instructions on the
packaging of each chemical. Always add chemicals to water, never add water to chemicals.
