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 ideal 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 fittings and surface finishes 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 (insoluble impurities mixed with the rock salt can shorten the life of the unit).
4.6.3 How Much Salt to Use
Use Table 1 to determine how much salt will be needed. Most pools contain some salt depending on the water source
and chemicals used for sanitizing. If the saltwater chlorinator has not been wired and turned on yet, a salt test strip or
a hand held meter calibrated for NaCl (salt) can be used to determine the existing salt concentration of the water. If the
unit is wired (connected), use it to determine the salinity. Water temperature can affect the salinity readout, always test
salinity at the equipment locations.
Set chlorine production to 00%. Operating the unit above 00% production without salt will damage the electrolytic
cell. The Salinity button C on the sanitizer user interface keypad can be used to determine salinity in the case of a new
pool installation, or a complete water change so long as the chlorine production is set to 00%. See Section 5.4.2, step
2.
•
3,000 - 3,500 ppm of salt is recommended for optimum water conditions.
•
Low salt concentration below 2,000 ppm will cause premature cell failure.
•
High salt concentration above 4,000 ppm may damage the power center.
•
High salt concentration above 6,000 ppm may cause corrosion damage to pool fixtures.
NOTE Should too much salt be inadvertently added to the pool see Section 7, Troubleshooting.
4.6.4 How to Add Salt to the Pool?
1.
Turn on pump to circulate pool water.
IMPORTANT Turn the chlorine production off by pressing the arrow button A and setting CHLORINE PRODUCTION
rate to 00%.
2.
Test the water for salinity level using test strips, electronic meter, or by your local qualified service
representative.
3.
Use the Table 1 to determine the amount of salt to add. 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.
Broadcast salt into pool. Do not add through skimmer, main drain, or surge tank. Brush the salt around the pool
to facilitate dissolving. Circulate filter system for 24 hours to ensure even distribution.
5.
After 24 hours, verify correct salt reading.
6.
Turn on the system and set to desired chlorine production rate (pressing the arrow buttons A or B ).
NOTE For a new pool or newly resurfaced pool it is recommended to wait at least 30 days (surface should be
completely cured) before adding salt. Follow the pool surface manufacturers guidelines for your particular
pool. For vinyl and fiberglass pools, salt can be added at start up.
