3. WATER CHEMISTRY
As with any pool, it is important that you maintain proper water chemistry of the pool
water, including pH, alkaline content, and calcium levels. The only special requirement
for Salt Chlorinator CHLOE is to maintain proper levels of salt and stabilizer. It is
important to maintain these levels in order to prevent corrosion or scaling and to ensure
maximum enjoyment of the pool. Test your water periodically. It is recommended that
pool water be professionally tested a minimum of twice per season. Your local pool
store can provide you with the chemicals and procedures to adjust the water chemistry.
Be sure to tell the pool store that you are using a salt chlorine generator.
