STABILISER
As previously mentioned, sunlight rapidly dissipates the amount of free chlorine in your pool. Chlorine stabiliser greatly
reduces this effect. Without stabiliser, you may need to run your Chlorinator at a higher output to maintain correct chlorine
levels
Keep the Stabiliser reading between 30 and 60ppm.
pH Level
You should keep you pH level between 7.0 and 7.4 for fibreglass pools and 7.2 to 7.6 for other pools.
Total Alkalinity
The ideal range is between 80 and 120 ppm.
Salt Level
Although salt is not consumed by the Jacuzzi® J-SS40 Salt System, salt is lost during backwashing, and when your pool
overflows due to rain or splashing. The correct salt level is important to cell life and the effective operation of your Salt
System. Salt level should be maintained around 3,000 to 4,000ppm but should never be allowed to fall below 3,000 ppm.
A typical pool of around 13,000 gallons requires 600 Ibs of salt to initially set-up the pool to 5,000ppm.
A low salt level warning is indicated on your Jacuzzi®J-SS40 Salt System if the salt level drops. If Low Salt is indicated, check
again in 24 hours and then if it is still indicated, add two 50 lb bags of salt to the shallow end of your pool. Run the filtration
system for approx. 6 hours to help mix the salt in the pool. It can take up to a day for the salt to fully dissolve.
If the low salt light is still on, then you should get your pool water tested. If the Salinity is above 5000ppm then you may
need to have your Jacuzzi J-SS40 salt System checked.
Warning: Never add salt directly to the skimmer box. This practice should be avoided as it allows very high concentrations
of salt to be passed through your filtration and other pool equipment.
