PREPARING THE POOL WATER
Salt Addition Chart
The following salt chart is included for reference only. Once your Pool Pilot Digital is properly programmed to the pool water volume, it will automatically indicate how much salt is needed. To use this chart:
1.Find your current salt level (ppm or g/l) in the left column. (This can be obtained from your Pool Pilot display or by testing your water.)
2.Find your pool/spa volume in the second row (Gallons or Liters).
3.Find the amount of salt needed to bring your pool to the ideal level by finding the intersection of the row and column. For volumes other than what is shown, use combinations of various columns.
For example, for an 11,000 gallon (41,646 liter) pool with a salt level of 500 ppm (5 mg/l), the column value for 1000 gallons (4,000 liters) (21 pounds (9 kg)) is added to the column value for 10,000 gallons (38,000 liters) (209 pounds (95 kg)) which gives a total of 230 pounds (104 kg) of salt needed to bring your pool salt level up to the ideal level of 3000 ppm (3.0 g/l).
