Pool Water Preparation 

 

Salt Requirements 

It is important that with typical pools, a salt residual of 2.8 – 3.2 g/l (2800 to 3200 ppm) be maintained at all times for peak efficiency.     

NOTE:

 Maintaining high salt levels above recommended range can contribute to corrosion of pool/spa equipment.  Salt levels 

exceeding the recommended concentration can be reduced by diluting the pool/spa with fresh water. 
The amount of salt required depends on the size of the pool and the present salt level.  As the salt is being added, we recommend 
running the circulation pump continually for 24 hours with the main drain opened.  Brushing the salt towards the bottom main drain 
will assist in the dissolve rate and prevent possible staining with certain types of salt. 
We recommend the use of 

TABEX LectraClor™ or

 

LectraClor Plus™ 

blended salt products.  These products do not contain 

Yellow Prussiate of Soda (YPS) or Iodine.  Iodine and YPS can cause a localized tint to the water or brown staining on the 
cementitious finish if allowed to rest undissolved on the finish for extended periods of time. 

LectraClor Plus™ 

is blended with the 

proper amount of stabilizer to maintain a proper level within the recommended range when added according to the salt chart on the 
box. 

 

Granular Salt, Table Salt, Solar Salt or Water Conditioner Pellets can also be used but will have different dissolve rates.  If the salt 
you use contains Iodine or YPS, constant brushing will help the dissolve rate and prevent staining due to the additives in the salt.   
Ensure that the salt you use contain a minimum purity of 99% Sodium Chloride (NaCl). 

NOTE: Do not use Rock Salt due to its high levels of impurities. 

 

TEST YOUR WATER FOR SALT LEVEL FIRST

 with the provided salt test strips,  

and then use the chart below to determine the amount of salt to add.

Note:

 The above chart is based on 120 grams of salt added to 1000 Liters of water (1 lb. per 1,000 gallons) to increase your salt 

residual 120-ppm. 

 

Start Up Procedures 

 

Keep the Output Setting on your 

Commander II Model JC5 

on 0% (OFF) until you get your water clear, blue and properly 

balanced. 

 

1.  After balancing your water chemistry according to the Water Chemistry Parameters shown on page 9, add the proper 

amount of salt (see Salt Requirement Chart above) and circulate 24-hours prior to starting your 

Commander II Model JC5

.  

 

2.  The following day, turn your Output Level to 50% and operate normally. Test water as required to conform with local health 

code. Raise or lower output control setting as needed.

 

  

 

 

3.  Once your Output Level has been established, you will only need to adjust your level according to increased bather usage.
