When

AT
START
UP
‐‐
Determine
the
salinity
level
of
the
water
before
adding
any
salt
with
a
salinity
test
meter
(SGS
Instruments
SLTD
100
is
NSF
certified
and
highly
recommended
for
accuracy),
salt
test
strips
or
through
a
water
testing
facility.
You
should
be
aware
that
previous
use
of
sodium
hypochlorite
(liquid
chlorine)
creates
residual
salt
within
the
pool.
Salt
should
then
be
added
to
the
pool
(see
below
for
How
To
Add
Salt)
to
bring
the
salinity
level
to
the
optimal
range
of
4,000
to
4,500
PPM
‐‐
table

is
a
reference
chart
for
the
amount
of
salt
needed
to
get
to
the
recommended
level.
SYSTEM
MAINTENANCE
–
Salinity
level
should
be
checked
monthly.
The
salt
level
should
never
be
allowed
to
fall
below
3,000
PPM,
as
this
will
cause
damage
to
the
electrolytic
cell
.
Salinity
level
is
lowered
through
dilution
(adding
fresh
water
or
rainfall),
water
splashed
out
of
the
pool,
backwashing
the
filter.
Salt
is
not
lost
through
evaporation.
If
the
salinity
level
drops
below
the
recommended
salinity
range,
use
Table
1
on
Page
10
to
determine
the
amount
of
salt
that
has
to
be
added
to
obtain
the
proper
salinity
level.
NOTE:
The
Breeze
chlorinator
will
automatically
go
into
service
mode
(light
#3
will
illuminate,
as
shown
on
illustration
5
on
page
15)
when
one
of
the
following
conditions
exist:
cold
water
(under
60
0
),
low
salt
(under
3,000
PPM)
and
a
dirty
cell
(see
illustration
5
on
page
15
and
Troubleshooting
section
for
instructions
on
what
to
do
when
the
system
goes
into
service
mode).
We
recommend
using
pool
salt,
which
can
be
purchased
at
pool
and
hardware
stores.
Avoid
using
salt
with
iodine
or
anti
‐
caking
agents
like
YPS,
which
can
cause
some
discoloration
of
fittings
and
pool
surface
finishes.
Note:
Do
not
use
Rock
Salt
due
to
its
high
levels
of
impurities.
Add
enough
salt
to
obtain
the
proper
concentration,
per
the
reference
chart
on
page
10.
CAUTION:
Do
not
operate
the
Breeze
with
newly
poured
pool
plaster.
Check
with
the
pool
builder
or
remodeler
for
specifics
on
their
products
before
you
operate
the
Breeze
chlorinator.
IMPORTANT:
Other
pool
equipment
may
be
damaged
if
the
salt
level
is
kept
above
7,000
PPM.
Refer
to
the
pool
equipment
manufacturer’s
operation
manual
for
product
specifications
and
warranty
exclusions.
How
to
Add
Salt
to
the
Pool
1.
Determine
salt
level
as
discussed
above.
Use
Table
1
(on
the
next
page)
to
calculate
the
amount
of
salt
needed.
2.
Power
on
the
pump
to
circulate
the
pool
water.
3.
Slowly
pour
in
the
salt
around
the
outer
perimeter
of
the
pool
for
quick
and
even
distribution.
To
avoid
clogging
the
filter
or
damaging
the
Control
Center
and
pump,
do
not
add
salt
through
the
skimmer
or
surge
tank.
4.
Brush
the
pool
bottom
to
distribute
the
salt
evenly
and
allow
water
to
circulate
for
24
hours
to
dissolve
completely.
After
24
hours,
confirm
salt
level
reading.
5.
Power
on
the
Breeze
system
and
set
output
percentage
to
desired
Sanitizer
Output
level
(see
Basic
Operation
Section
on
page
