3. POOL PREPARATION
Before operating your Pool Pro unit please read the following:
A
• Check your salt levels with your local
P
ool
P
ro
P
rofessional before installing your unit.
• Salt levels should ideally be 3000-3500ppm and no more than 4000ppm.
•
NEVER ADD SALT DIRECTLY TO THE SKIMMER BOX.
This high concentration of salt will
pass through your filtration, pump and other pool equipment.
• Salt levels above 4000ppm may overload the unit and cause excessive heat.
• For all new pool installations please seek advice from your pool builder before adding
salt as some new surfaces request no salt to be added when initially completed.
Handy Tips
• The colder the water the lower your output but this does not mean you need more salt.
There will always be less chlorine demand in colder water.
• We recommend 3.5kg per 1000 litres (1 cubM) of pool water and a 50 000 litre (50 cubM)
new pool needs approximately 175kg of salt.
• The unit can operate on mineral/magnesium chloride salts and you should allow an extra
20 -30% on the ppm for these types of salts.
• Salt should always be added to the shallow end of the pool and allowed to dissolve.
Do not let the salt settle on the floor 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 to dissolve.
• Only run the pump in the first 8-12 hours (ensure the Cell is switched off) to allow the salt
to dissolve.
• If you turn the dial fully clockwise and the needle on the display meter reaches the RED
then you have either just enough salt (if just reaches RED) or too much salt (if it goes in to
the RED).
