What Type Of Salt To Use; How Much Salt To Use - Jandy AquaPure Ei Serie Manual De Instalación Y Operación

4.6.2 What Type of Salt to Use

• The purer the salt, the better the life and performance of the electrolytic cell. Use a salt that is at least 99.8% pure
NaCl. The salt is an evaporated, granulated, food quality, non-iodized salt. Consult your salt supplier.
• Avoid using salt with anti-caking agents (sodium ferrocyanide, also known as YPS or yellow prussiate of soda) that
could cause some discoloration of fi ttings and surface fi nishes in pool.
• Water conditioning salt pellets are compressed forms of evaporated salt and may be used but will take longer to
dissolve.
• Do not use calcium chloride as a source of salt. Use sodium chloride only.
• Do not use rock salt becasue insoluble impurities mixed with the rock salt can shorten the life of the unit.

4.6.3 How Much Salt to Use

Use salinity test strips, a TDS/salinity meter, or another reliable method to test the salinity of the pool water. Once the
existing salinity has been established, use Table 1 to determine the amount of 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.
• 4,000 ppm of salt is recommended for optimum water conditions.
NOTE In cooler water conditions (less than 65°F), it may be necessary to add more than 4,500 ppm of salt to keep
the "Check Salt" alarm from appearing on the power pack.
• Low salt concentration below 3,000 ppm will cause premature cell failure.
• High salt concentration above 6,000 ppm may cause corrosion damage to pool fi xtures.
It is important to note that certain materials used in and around swimming pools and spas may not be compatible
with chemicals commonly used to purify pool and spa water (e.g. acids, chlorine, salt, stabilizers, etc.).
Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc. does not warrant or guarantee that the chlorinated water generated by the Jandy
AquaPure ® Ei TM chlorine generating device will not damage or destroy certain types of plants, decking, coping
and other materials in and around your pool and/or spa. Before selecting materials to be used in and around your
pool and/or spa, please discuss all options with your contractor to assess the compatibility of such materials and
chemicals.
Some helpful considerations may include:
• Choosing plants that can withstand splash out of pool water containing chlorine and/or salt and other water
purifi cation chemicals.
• All metal components used in and around a pool should be of a high grade, quality stainless steel.
• Careful selection of masonry products. The porosity and hardness of natural stones varies greatly. Therefore we
recommend you consult with your builder or stone contractor on the best choice for stone materials around your
pool or spa.
• Sealing all masonry products. Professionals in the stone industry specify that even natural stone, especially when
used outdoors, be sealed to prevent weathering, staining, and premature degradation. Consult with your stone or
deck contractor for the proper sealer for the masonry products you have selected to use around your pool or spa.
• For optimal results, sealers should be reapplied on a regular basis. Reapply the protective sealer on a schedule
per the manufacturer's instructions.
• Use of chemicals other than those recommended may be hazardous. Follow the chemical manufacturers
instructions.
