3C
GENERAL
The Salt & Swim
™
3C is an automatic chlorine generation system for pool sanitation. The operation requires a low
concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the pool water. The Salt & Swim 3C automatically sanitizes your pool by converting
the salt into free chlorine which kills bacteria and algae in the water. Chlorine will revert back to sodium chloride after killing
bacteria. These reactions will continuously recycle virtually eliminating the need to add sanitizing chemicals to your pool.
The Salt & Swim 3C can handle the purification needs of most residential swimming pools up to 30,000 gallons (114,000
liters). This unique low cost chlorine generator uses a replaceable electrolytic Cell (SAS-CELL-CUL) that is designed to
produce 91 kg (200 lbs) of 100% available chlorine over its lifetime
(cell sold separately).
Part number: SAS-CUL
Note that the actual amount of chlorination required to properly sanitize a pool varies due to bather load, rainfall, temperature,
and the pool’s cleanliness.
NOTE:
Before installing this product as part of a saline water purification system in a pool or spa using natural stone for
coping or for immediately adjacent patios/decking, a qualified stone installation specialist should be consulted regarding the
appropriate type, installation, sealant (if any) and maintenance of stone used around a saline pool with electronic chlorine
generator in your particular location and circumstances.
NOTE:
The use of dry acid (sodium bisulfate) to adjust pool pH is discouraged especially in arid regions where pool water is
subject to excessive evaporation and is not commonly diluted with fresh water. Dry acid can cause a buildup of by-products
that can damage your chlorinator Cell.
INSTALLATION
Remove power to the pool filter pump before starting this installation. Installation must be performed in accordance with
Local and NEC codes. The Control Box must be mounted a minimum of 3.5 meters (12ft.) horizontal distance (or more, if
local codes require) from the pool, within 2 meters (6.5 ft.) from a protected outlet, and within 4.5 meters (15 ft.) from where
the Cell will be installed. Take care to protect the Cell cap connector pins while handling the Salt & Swim 3C unit during
installation.
Preparing Pool Water
To prepare the pool water for Salt & Swim 3C operation, the pool’s chemistry must be balanced and salt must be added.
This must be done BEFORE activating the Salt & Swim 3C. Some adjustments to your pool chemistry may take several
hours, so start the procedure well before you intend to operate the Salt and Swim 3C.
Adding Salt: Add salt several hours or, if possible, 1 day prior to operating the Salt & Swim 3C. Take care not to exceed the
recommended salt level. Measure salt 6-8 hours after adding to the pool.
