Type of Salt to Use
Use evaporated, granular non-iodized salt (sodium chloride). The purer salt (at least 99%)
can improve the life and performance of the electrolytic cell. Water softening salt (also
called water conditioner) is also acceptable. Granules are an economical way to buy large
amounts of salt. However, only NaCl salt with a purity of at least 99% can be used. The
pill is a compressed form of evaporated salt and may take longer to dissolve. Avoid using
salt with an anti-caking agent, which may cause discoloration.
How to Add or Remove Salt
IN GROUND POOLS: Turn the filter pump on and add the salt directly into the
pool at the shallow end.
ABOVE GROUND POOLS WITH MAIN DRAINS: Add directly in front of the
return jet to pool. Run the filter pump for 24 hours with the suction coming from
the main drain (use the pool vacuum if there is no main drain) to allow the salt
to evenly disperse throughout the pool.
ABOVE GROUND POOLS WITHOUT MAIN DRAINS: Add directly into the pool.
Brush the salt to speed up the dissolving process—to not allow the salt to sit in
a pile on the bottom of the pool. -------ELIMINATE THE FOLLOWING--(Run the
filter pump for 24 hours with the suction coming from the main drain (use the
pool vacuum if there is no main drain) to allow the salt to evenly disperse
throughout the pool).
ON ANY POOL, DO NOT ADD SALT DIRECTLY TO THE SKIMMERS OR DIRECTLY
ONTO THE MAIN DRAIN. THIS WILL SHUT DOWN OR SHORTEN THE LIFE OF THE
CELL DUE TO HIGH SALT CONCENTRATION AND REDUCED FLOW TO THE PUMP.
If added incorrectly, immediately turn off HydroSalt™ for 24 hours with the pump and filter
operating This will help to evenly distribute the salt. The salt display may take 24 hours to
respond to the change in salt concentration.
