Warnings

BEFORE ADDING SALT, ALWAYS PERFORM A TEST TO MEASURE
THE PRE-EXISTING SALT LEVELS (TEST STRIPS OR ELECTRONIC
Only use salt which complies with European standard EN 16401 to extend
service life and improve efficiency of the chlorinator cell.
DO NOT ADD CHEMICAL PRODUCTS OR SALT DIRECTLY INTO THE
SKIMMER. THIS CAN DAMAGE THE CELL. IF THE CHLORINATOR
CELL HAS ALREADY BEEN INSTALLED, DO NOT SWITCH ON BEFORE
ADDING SALT AND ENSURE SALT IS COMPLETELY DISSOLVED.
In summer, salt may take 24 - 48 hours to dissolve, and even longer in winter.
Do no place the plastic bag of salt into the water as the chemicals and inks on the bag can interfere
with water balance. Make an opening in the bag, then empty its contents. Once the bag is empty,
dispose in an appropriate receptacle or recycle if possible.

Required salt levels

The system can operate in a wide range of salinities, from a minimum of 2,700 ppm (parts per
million) up to 4,500 ppm. However,
To achieve this salinity level, add
1,000 gallons of water).

TIP: When adding large quantities of salt, always start by testing the salinity of
the water and gradually adding salt, testing the concentration each time.
If you're unsure of the volume of your pool (m

Rectangular pool: Length x Width x Average Depth

Round pool: Diameter x Diameter x Average Depth x 0.80
•
Oval pool: Length x Width x Average Depth x 0.90
If not enough salt is added, efficiency is reduced and the level of chlorine production will be too low.
In addition, operating at low salinity levels will reduce the longevity of the cell.
The salt in your pool is constantly recycled, limiting the amount of salt lost during a bathing session.
Losses are mainly due to the addition of extra water replacing water lost as a result of splashes,
run-off, filter cleaning and drainage.
