SECTION 3
Pool Preparation
3A Important Information
If the
TrioPure
TM
is being installed on a new concrete or plaster
pool, do not add salt for 30 days after pool has been filled to
help protect plaster from staining.
Pool water must be at the proper salinity level, temperature
and chemical balance per Section 5B of this manual before
operating the TrioPure
TM
.
3B What Kind of Salt to Use
Use 99.6% pure or better sodium chloride water softening or
feed salt. The finer the grain, the easier it will be to dissolve
the salt quickly and completely (pellets are much harder to
dissolve than fine grain salt). Common brand names of salt to
use are Cargil and Morton.
Note:
Salt with anti-caking agents (yellow prussiate of soda,
or “YPS”) may cause staining of pool linings and fixtures and
should not be used.
3C Where to Get Salt
Salt can be purchased at a pool supply, building supply, feed
supply, or major home and garden department store.
3D How Much Salt to Use
Always use a salinity test strip (such as Aquacheck White
®
for
salt or LaMotte Insta-Test
®
found through local pool supply
dealer) or digital salinity meter (such as the LaMotte Tracer
®
meter) to determine salt level in pool water prior to adding any
salt. Capture water from about 18” deep in a container and
then test this water sample. Add enough salt to obtain a salin-
ity of approximately 3,500 ppm - Refer to
‘Salt Sizing Table’
(Figure 7) on pages 8-9.
3E How to Add Salt
Evenly disperse the proper amount of salt around the
perimeter of the pool. Run the main pool circulation pump for
24 hours and agitate any undissolved salt deposited at the
bottom of the pool with a pool brush. Allow 24 hours or longer
for salt to fully dissolve.
CAUTION:
Do not add salt to the skimmer.
IMPORTANT:
To avoid damage to your TrioPure
TM
chlorinator,
never operate the
TrioPure
TM
if the salinity level is under 3,000 ppm
unless the chlorine output is turned to “MIN” (display = “OF”).
It is easy to add more salt to your pool but difficult to remove
excess salt through draining.
3F Pool Sizing Chart
If you don’t know the size of your swimming pool, you
must first determine the volume before adding large
quantities of salt.
Note:
Dimensions are in feet.
For rectangular pools simply calculate:
Length x width x average depth x 7.5 = Gallons
For oval pools simply calculate:
Length x width x average depth x 6.7 = Gallons
For round pools simply calculate:
(diameter)
2
x average depth x 5.9 = Gallons
