How to Add Salt to the Pool

CAUTION: Do not operate IntelliChlor with newly poured pool plaster; salt damage can occur. Wait at least 1 MONTH to allow new pool plaster to cure before operating IntelliChlor.

1.Switch on the pump to circulate the pool water.

2.Determine the amount of salt from the following charts.

3.Slowly pour in the salt around the outer perimeter of the pool for quick and even distribution. To avoid clogging the filter or damaging power supply and pump, do not add salt through the skimmer or surge tank.

4.Brush the pool bottom and allow water to circulate for 24 hours to dissolve completely.

5.After 24 hours, verify correct salt reading.

6.Switch on IntelliChlor and set to desired sanitizer output level (for example, 60%).
