What kind of salt to use
We recommend using vacuum-packed kitchen salt.
You may not use rock salt. Any additives could significantly decrease the life of the electrode.
ASIN Aqua SALT is designed for electrolysis of water containing 4 – 8 kg/m
3
salt.
Using concentrations lower than 4 kg/m
3
could damage the electrode. That is why regular monitoring of
salt content in water is necessasry. The concentration of salt in the water changes only marginally through
the actual operation of the electrolyser.
The main losses of salt are due to filtering, splashing out and rain in case of outdoor pools.
The table shows the amounts of salt in kg, which must be added to increase concentration, given in the
left column, to 4 kg/m
3
relative to pool capacity.
