3.2 I Add salt
Every appliance must be operated with a minimum recommended salt level, see
§ “1.2 I Technical specifications”.
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.
3.2.1. Determining the quantity of salt to be used when installing the appliance
Example:
A.
Appliance operating with
4 kg of salt per m³ of water (=4g/L or 4000 ppm).
B.
Appliance operating with
5 kg of salt per m³ of water (=5g/L or 5000 ppm).
•
50m³
pool.
The formula:
A.
50m
3
x 4 kg of salt/m³ =
200 kg of salt to be added to the water
B.
50m
3
x 5 kg of salt/m³ =
250 kg of salt to be added to the water
3.2.2. Routine analyses
Check the salt level quarterly and readjust the quantity of salt present where necessary.
==> Method for adding salt to the water
•
Start the filter 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 quantity of salt into the water to help disso-
lution. Add the salt in stages. It is easier to add salt to make up for an insufficient quantity that to dilute the salt
present to make up for an excessive quantity.
•
Operate the filter pump for 24 hours.
•
After 24 hours have passed, check that the salinity level in the pool is correct, i.e. 4g/litre or 5g/litre
(in the exam-
ples cited).
• If the salt level is correct and the appliance has already been installed, switch it on then adjust the desired level of
chlorine production, see § “4.2.1. Adjusting chlorine production”
.
Do not add salt directly in the skimmer(s).
The appliance must only be switched on when the salt has completely dissolved in the pool.
