INITIAL SALT DOSAGE
Maintain a salinity level of 2,000 ppm to 2,500 ppm. Refer to chart below. Pool gallons can be determined from the following formulas: a. Rectangular – Length x Width x Average Depth x 7.5 (for gallons) or 1000 for liters.
b. Round – Diameter x Average depth x 5.9 (for gallons) or 785 for liters.
c. Oval – Length x Width x Average Depth x 6.7 (for gallons) or 893 for liters.
Salt ppm | 1,500 | 2,000 | 2,200 | 2,400 | 2,600 | 2,800 | 3,000 | |

RECOMMENDED SALT TYPE AND HOW TO ADD
Type of Salt:
1.Use food grade type of salt (evaporated and granulated) or salt formulated for use with salt chlorine generators.
2.WARNING: Do not use salt that contains ‘Prussiate of Soda’ (Prussiate of Soda is an
3.WARNING: Do not use ‘rock salt’ which has dirt mixed in with the salt.
4.NOTE: Calcium Chloride is not salt. Use Sodium Chloride only.
5.Water softener salt pellets (Sodium Chloride ) may be used but will take longer to dissolve.
Adding Salt:
1.Never add salt to the ‘skimmer’ box, however the coarse salt granules may cause the pump impeller to seize.
2.Always disconnect any automatic cleaners before adding salt, and leave them off until all the salt has fully dissolved.
3.When pouring bags of salt into pool, pour away from skimmer and suction points. Sweep and brush with a pool broom until the salt dissolves
4.Keep the pump operating during this process.
CELL MAINTENANCE
1. The Salt Cell requires little or no general maintenance.
2 Periodically inspect the Cell plates to ensure that they are clear of foreign matter and other debris.
NOTE: A filtration problem exists (contaminated water is
3.If calcium
a)Low Water Flow through the Cell – Check the hoses and the injector for blockage of water flow.
b)Poor water Quality - High calcium content, clean cells (see below).
c)Aged Cell – After
