What Salt Concentration To Use
Although your Enduro Chlor has been designed to operate with a wide range of salt
concentrations, the minimum recommended level is 5000 mg/l (P.P.M.). However with
heated and outdoor pools in tropical and sub-tropical climates, salt levels between
5000 and 7000 mg/l can be maintained in order to gain the benefits of increased
chlorine output, reduced cell maintenance and extended cell life.
The Chlorine Control Knob can be turned fully clockwise if higher salt levels are used
without the risk of damage occurring, due to the incorporation of electronic output
limiting on all of the self clean model chlorinators.
To make the calculation easier, we have provided the chart below.
To find the correct amount of salt using this chart:
1. Mark the point along the bottom edge which
corresponds with the calculated volume of
water in the pool.
2. Draw a vertical line from this point which
intersects the inclined lines showing salt
concentrations.
3. From the point where this vertical line
intersects the inclined line showing the chosen
salt concentration, draw a horizontal line
across to the left. Where this line crosses the
left side of the graph, the quantity of salt in
kilograms will be indicated.
Adding Salt And Stabiliser To The Pool
If you are quite sure of your calculations then
add the calculated amount of salt directly to
your pool.
Warning:
Only swimming pool grade salt (Sodium
Chloride) should be used. Inferior grades may
lead to problems with the chlorinator cell.
Do not attempt to add salt via the surface skimmer as this can cause damage to the
filtration system.
Any suction type pool cleaners should also be disconnected before adding salt.
At the same time add the recommended quantity of cyanuric acid stabiliser. This is
most important as your Enduro Chlor will not operate efficiently during summer months
without the correct level of stabiliser in the pool. Recommended level for maximum
efficiency is between 30 and 60 mg/l (ppm). pH buffer can also be added now if required.
