6. ADDING SALT
The chlorinator must remain OFF during this operation and until the
additive is completely dissolved. Operating the chlorinator with non
dissolved salt could irreversibly damage the cell and the power supply,
and lead to a void of the warranty.
Calculate the volume of the swimming pool and add 5 to 6 Kg of salt per cubic meter.
Make sure the chlorinator is disconnected and make the filtration system to work for at
least 24 hours.
For any new pool builds please wait for four weeks before adding salt
into any recently cement coated pool or discuss this with your pool
builder.
The salt dissolving process can be accelerated using the pool cleaner. Check the salt
concentration is between 5 and 6 kg/m
3
using a kit from a specialized pool shop.
The salt chlorination process doesn
’
t consume salt. However, the salt concentration may
be reduced over time due to the rain or other periodic freshwater contributions (filling
up, filter cleaning, etc.). Whenever the salt concentration needs to be corrected, pour
salt as close as possible to the return lines. Never pour salt in the skimmers or in the
drain inlet.
