PREPARING YOUR WATER BEFORE INSTALLATION
Pool Pilot® Professional
saline chlorination systems operate by utilizing the
sodium chloride that has been added to the pool water, to produce sodium
hypochlorite (liquid chlorine), through the process of electrolysis.
In order for your
Pool Pilot® Professional
system to operate correctly, sodium
chloride (salt) must be added directly to the pool at least 24 hours before the
installation of the equipment.
5 kg of sodium chloride must be added for every 1,000 litres of pool water (ie: a
200,000-litre pool will require 1,000 kg of salt for start-up).
It is best to add the salt around the pool, and not load all salt in one section.
Once the salt has been added, brush the surface of the pool continuously until
the salt has all dissolved. You must never leave large amounts of salt on the
surface of the pool, as this may cause damage to the pool surface.
When you add the initial load of salt, you will need to add additional chlorine, as
the salt will cause a chlorine demand.
Your pool water should be balanced in the following range before turning your
Pool Pilot® Professional
system on;
Water balance parameters
Swimming pool
Spa
Free available chlorine
1.0 – 3.0 ppm
3.0 – 5.0 ppm
pH
7.2 – 7.8
7.2 – 7.8
Total alkalinity
100 – 120 ppm
100 – 120 ppm
Calcium hardness
200 – 300 ppm
150 – 200 ppm
Cyanuric Acid (stabilizer)
30 – 100 ppm
30 – 100 ppm
Salt ranges
Swimming pool
Spa
Salt level
4,000 – 5,000 ppm
4,000 – 5,000 ppm
NOTE: Low salt levels will cause a reduction in chlorine production and will
damage the device. High salt levels will increase the possibility of corrosion on
pool equipment.
NOTE: If too much salt has been added, dilute with fresh water.
