INITIAL SALT DOSAGE
Maintain a salinity level of 2,000 ppm to 2,500 ppm. Refer to chart below. Pool gallons can be determined from the following formulas:
a. Rectangular – Length x Width x Average Depth x 7.5 (for gallons) or 1000 for liters.
b. Round – Diameter x Average depth x 5.9 (for gallons) or 785 for liters.
c. Oval – Length x Width x Average Depth x 6.7 (for gallons) or 893 for liters.

RECOMMENDED SALT TYPE AND HOW TO ADD
Type of Salt:
1. Use food grade type of salt (evaporated and granulated) or salt formulated for use with salt chlorine generators.
2.
WARNING: Do not use salt that contains ‘Prussiate of Soda’ (Prussiate of Soda is an anti-caking agent which contains iron).
This type salt may cause yellow stains on your pool bottom if left there without being dissolved.
3.
WARNING: Do not use ‘rock salt’ which has dirt mixed in with the salt.
4.
NOTE: Calcium Chloride is not salt. Use Sodium Chloride only.
5. Water softener salt pellets (Sodium Chloride ) may be used but will take longer to dissolve.
Adding Salt:
1. Never add salt to the ‘skimmer’ box, however the coarse salt granules may cause the pump impeller to seize.
2. Always disconnect any automatic cleaners before adding salt, and leave them off until all the salt has fully dissolved.
3. When pouring bags of salt into pool, pour away from skimmer and suction points. Sweep and brush with a pool broom until the salt dissolves
4. Keep the pump operating during this process.
SETTING THE CHLORINE LEVEL
1. When System is turned on initially the three LED’s on the right will blink continuously as follows:
SET-UP FUNCTION
LOW SALT
HIGH SALT
2. Press the MODE button and the three LEDS will begin flashing on and off together.
3. Press the MODE button again and the unit will enter the % SET UP MODE.
4. Select the % VALUE desired (10% is recommended to start ) by pushing the UP or DOWN buttons which will illuminate the desired
PERCENTAGE LEDs.
5. When the desired % VALUE is selected, press the MODE button to leave the % SET UP MODE. The chlorination cycle will begin.
6. The 100% VALUE setting should only be used to shock the pool.
