Use the chart on page 10 to determine how much salt in pounds or (Kgs) need to
be added to reach the recommended levels. Use the equations below (measure-
ments are in feet/gallons and meters/liters) if pool size is unknown.
The recommended salt level is between 2700-3400 ppm (parts per million) with
3200 ppm being ideal. If the level is low, determine the number of gallons in the pool
and add salt according to the chart on page 10. A low salt level will reduce the
efficiency of the Salt & Swim and result in low chlorine production. A high salt level
can cause the Salt & Swim to shutdown and may begin to give a salty taste to your
pool (generally, the salt will begin to be tasted at a level of about 3500-4000 ppm).
The salt in your pool is constantly recycled and the loss of salt throughout the
swimming season should be small. This loss is due primarily to the addition of water
because of splashing, backwashing, or draining (because of rain). Salt is not lost
due to evaporation.

It is important to use only sodium chloride (NaCl) salt that is greater than 99% pure.
This is common food quality or water softener salt and is usually available in 40-80
lb. bags labeled "Coarse Solar Salt" or "Pool Salt". It is also acceptable to use
water conditioning salt pellets, however, it will take longer for them to dissolve. Do
not use rock salt, salt with yellow prussiate of soda, salt with anti-caking additives,
or iodized salt.

For new plaster pools, wait 10-30 days (check with you local pool professional)
before adding salt to allow the plaster to cure. Turn the circulating pump on and
add salt directly into the pool. Brush the salt around to speed up the dissolving
process--do not allow salt to pile up on the bottom of the pool. Run the filter pump
for 24 hours with the suction coming from the main drain (use pool vac if there is no
main drain) to allow the salt to evenly disperse throughout the pool.
The only way to lower the salt concentration is to partially drain the pool and refill
with fresh water.
Always check stabilizer (cyanuric acid), when checking salt. These levels will most
likely decline together. Use the chart on page 11 to determine how much stabilizer
must be added to raise the level to 80 ppm.
