3. POOL PREPARATION
Before operating your NKD1 Fresh Water System please read the following:
Handy Tips
•
Check your
TDS
levels in your pool before starting your system.
• TDS
levels should ideally be 800-1000ppm and no more than 1200ppm.
•
For all new pool installations please seek advice from your pool builder before adding salt or
minerals as some new surfaces request no addition when initially completed.
•
NEVER ADD SALT/MINERALS DIRECTLY TO THE SKIMMER BOX.
This high concentration of
either salt or minerals will pass through your ltration, pump and other pool equipment and may
cause damage.
•
The system can operate on mineral/magnesium chloride salts and you should allow an
extra 20-30%
for these type of salts.
•
Salt or minerals should always be added to the shallow end of the pool and allowed to
dissolve. Do
not let the salt settle on the oor of the pool as this may cause damage to the
surface. Use your
pool
brush to mix the salt into the water.
•
Running the pump will mix the water and help the salt/minerals to dissolve.
When taking your pool water to a pool shop for testing please ensure you take the
enclosed laminated NKD1 System Card to ensure your water is tested correctly and
accurate results are achieved. See handy tips 8.0 WATER CHEMISTRY.
•
The only pool chemicals needed are those for normal water balance.
•
Copper levels of 0.2-0.4ppm need to be achieved in order to optimally sanitise the pool water. On
initial start up the system allows for the literage of your pool to be entered and this is critical to
ensure the run times of the system and all the levels are set correctly.
