HOW YOUR ENDURO CHLOR SALT WATER
CHLORINATOR WORKS.
Common salt (Sodium Chloride) is made up of two elements, sodium and chlorine.
When your Poolrite Enduro Chlor is installed a measured amount of salt is dissolved in
the pool water to make it slightly salty (about 15% of the salt found in sea water).
When the filter system is operating this pool water also flows through the clear
Electrolytic Cell where a very low voltage electric current is passed through the salty
water which causes chlorine to be produced. This chlorine instantly dissolves in the
pool water.
Put very simply, this dissolved chlorine starts to destroy bacteria, viruses and algae
almost instantly and in doing so reverts back to dissolved salt. This cycle continues with
more new chlorine being generated from the salty water in the cell, the pool being
sanitised and the chlorine reverting back to dissolved salt.
As your Enduro Chlor is operating each day during normal operation of the filtration
system, solid particles are trapped by the filter while your Enduro Chlor sanitises the
water to make it safe, clear and sparkling.
MAINTENANCE OF POOL WATER CHEMISTRY
CHLORINE LEVEL
Using a 4 in 1 test kit, test the pool water daily at first then at least once a week
to ensure sufficient chlorine level is being maintained. A free chlorine reading of 1.5
mg/l (ppm) and above is adequate when taken near the skimmer.
Should the level fall below 1.5 mg/l (ppm) check salt level and/or increase the daily
running time of filter and Enduro Chlor.
pH CONTROL
Check the pH of your pool at least once a week after your Enduro Chlor is first installed.
The pH of your pool is a measure of the balance between acidic and alkaline
products in the water. It is measured on a scale of 0 to 14.
A pH level of 0.0
is pure acid.
A pH level of 7.0
is neutral.
A pH level of 14.0
is pure alkali.
The recommended range for swimming pool water is 7.2 to 7.6 for concrete pools, and
you should refer to your builder’s recommendations for other types of pools.
