PREPARING THE POOL WATER
Steps to Prepare Water:
1. Calculate Pool Volume: See next section, below.
2. Adjust Water Chemistry: (Via saturation index... consider pH, total alkalinity, hardness, and
water temperature; also adjust stabilizer level). See Reference sections on pages 17-22.
3. Add Initial Chlorine Dosage: Use liquid chlorine (sodium hypochlorite), as obtained from pool
supply center, to achieve 1-3 ppm free chlorine.
4. Add salt to water (test the water for salt level, first). Adjust to 3000 - 3500 ppm. See salt chart
on page-17.
Calculating Pool Volume:
Liters (pool size measured in meters)
= Length x Width x Average Depth x 1000
= Diameter x Diameter x Average Depth x 785
= Length x Width x Average Depth x 785

Gallons (pool size measured in feet)
= Length x Width x Average Depth x 7.5
= Diameter x Diameter x Average Depth x 5.9
= Length x Width x Average Depth x 5.9
When properly sized to the site, the AG will meet the sanitizer “maintenance” requirements of the pool/
spa. The AG is not designed to chlorine shock treat, or build up a chlorine residual, when starting with
a zero or very low chlorine level.
Before starting the AG, the water must be properly balanced, and the chlorine level must be adjusted
to between 1-to-3 ppm free chlorine. More on adjusting water balance, and start-up chlorine levels, follows
below.
