SALT & POOL WATER VOLUMES
• Which kind of salt to use:
A specific type of salt must be used in swimming pools to protect the equipment. When buying
salt, check that the salt conforms with the EN16401 standard for Chemicals for use in swimming
pools. Consult your local pool store or contact the salt manufacturer if you need help with verifying
you have the correct salt. Do not use iodized salt, salt containing anti-caking agent (E535) or
yellow (yellow prussiate of soda) colored salt.
When choosing the pool salt for use within the EU, please also note that the European Chemicals
Agency (ECHA) requires that salt (sodium chloride) be used from registered/authorized
manufacturers listed in the ECHA Article 95 List in accordance with the Biocidal Product
Regulation (BPR, Regulation (EU) 528/2012). For more information, please consult ECHA's
website at https://echa.europa.eu/information-on-chemicals/active-substance-suppliers.
Use only Sodium Chloride Salts
Use only sodium chloride (NaCl) salt that is at least 99.4% pure. It is also acceptable to use
water conditioning salt pellets (the compressed forms of evaporated salt). However, it will take
a longer time for them to dissolve. Salt is added to the pool water and the electrolytic cell uses the
salt to create sodium hypochlorite. The purer the salt the better the performance of the electrolytic
cell.
• Optimum Salt Levels
The ideal salt level in the pool water is between 2500-3500 ppm (parts per million). The optimal
level is 3000 ppm. A too low salt level will reduce the efficiency of the Saltwater System and
result in low sodium hypochlorite production. A high salt level may generate a salty taste to the
pool water (this may occur at a salt level above 3500-4000ppm). Too high salt level may damage
the power supply and cause corrosion to the pool metal fixtures and accessories. The Salt Table
page of this manual shows the correct dosage of salt needed.
• Adding Salt
1. Switch the fi lter pump on to start the water circulation.
2. Keep the Saltwater System turned off .
3. Determine the amount of salt to be added (see "Salt Table").
4. Evenly spread the proper amount of salt around the inside perimeter of the pool.
5. Avoid clogging the fi lter. Do not add salt through the skimmer.
6. Brush the pool bottom to speed up the dissolving process. Do not allow salt to pile up on the
bottom of the pool. Run the fi lter pump 24 consecutive hours to thoroughly dissolve the salt.
7. After 24 hours and if all the salt is dissolved, turn on the Saltwater System, press
"00" fl ashing and set the saltwater pool system to desired operating time (see "Operating
Time Table").
• Removing Salt
If too much salt has been added, the unit will beep and display "Code 92" (see "Alarm Codes").
You will need to lower the salt concentration. The only way to do so, is to partially drain the pool
and refill it with fresh water. Drain and refill approximately 20% of the pool's water until the "Code
92" disappears.
