How Much Salt to Add
Regular use of sodium hypochlorite (liquid chlorine) creates residual salt within the pool and may bring
t
he salt level close to the required 4000 ppm concentration.
Generally, in a pool of approximately 13,200 gallons, one (1) 50 lb. bag of salt will increase the salt
concentration by 500 ppm. In a new pool (where there is no salt residual) of approximately 13,200
gallons, eight (8) 50 lb bags of salt are required to reach a 4000 ppm concentration. For exact
requirements, refer to the chart below.

How to Add Salt
Only 99.5% pure refined, non-iodized salt (sodium chloride) should be used with the DuoClear system.
Do not use salt containing
YPS (yellow prussate of soda) as it ma
y stain the plaster finish.
•
Disperse salt e
v
enly around the perimeter of the pool, brushing it until it dissolves.
Do not add
salt to skimmer.
• Run filter for 4-6 hours.
• Allow 24 hours for salt to fully dissolve. If the ADD SALT light is on after 24 hours, test salt level and
add necessary salt to obtain a 4000 ppm concentration.
