4.2 I Adding salt
Every appliance must be operated with a minimum recommended salt level, see
“1.2.1 Salt water chlorinator”.
In order for the chlorinator appliance to operate properly, and to protect the equipment, we
recommend using salt (sodium chloride) as per standard EN 16401.
4.2.1 Determining the quanti ty of salt to be used when installing the appliance
Example:
•
Appliance operati ng with
4 grams of salt/litre of water.
• 50m
3
pool.
The formula:
50m
3
x 4 grams of salt =
200 kg of salt to be added to the water.
4.2.2 Routi ne analyses
Check the salt level quarterly and readjust the quanti ty of salt present where necessary.
==> Method for adding salt to the water
•
Start the fi lter pump to cause the water in the pool to circulate.
•
If the appliance has already been installed, switch it off .
•
Move around the perimeter of the pool while pouring the required quanti ty of salt into the water to help
dissoluti on. Add the salt in stages. It is easier to add salt to make up for an insuffi cient quanti ty that to
dilute the salt present to make up for an excessive quanti ty.
•
Operate the fi lter pump for 24 hours.
•
Aft er 24 hours have passed, check that the salinity level in the pool is correct, i.e. 4g/litre
(in the example
cited).
•
If the salt level is correct and the appliance has already been installed, switch it on then adjust the desired
level of chlorine producti on, see
"5.4.2 Adjusti ng chlorine producti on".
Do not add salt directly to the skimmer.
The appliance must only be switched on when the salt has completely dissolved in the pool.
