• All metal components used in and around a pool should be of a high grade, quality stainless steel.
• Careful selection of masonry products. The porosity and hardness of natural stones varies greatly. Therefore we
recommend you consult with your builder or stone contractor on the best choice for stone materials around your pool or
spa.
• Sealing all masonry products. Professionals in the stone industry specify that even natural stone, especially when used
outdoors, be sealed to prevent weathering, staining, and premature degradation. Consult with your stone or deck
contractor for the proper sealer for the masonry products you have selected to use around your pool or spa.
• For optimal results, sealers should be reapplied on a regular basis. Reapply the protective sealer on a schedule per the
manufacturer’s instructions.
• Use of chemicals other than those recommended may be hazardous. Follow the chemical manufacturers
instructions.
4.6.4 How to Add Salt to the Pool
1.
Turn on pump to circulate pool water.
2.
IMPORTANT - Turn the
power pack
off by pressing the ON/Off button (OFF will be displayed on the
screen).
3.
Test the water for salinity level using test strips, electronic meter, or by your local pool professional.
4.
Use the Table 1 to determine the amount of salt to add. Be conservative when adding salt as it is easier to add
more if needed than it is to dilute if there is too much salt.
5.
Broadcast salt into pool. Do not add through skimmer, main drain, or surge tank. Brush the salt around the pool to
facilitate dissolving. Circulate filter system for 24 hours to ensure even distribution.
6.
After 24 hours, verify correct salt reading by testing the water salinity level using test strips, electronic meter, or
by your local pool professional.
7.
When the salinity level is correct, turn the power pack on. Press the OUTPUT button to set the desired
production rate.
NOTE
For a new pool or newly resurfaced pool it is recommended to wait at least 30 days (surface should be
completely cured) before adding salt. Follow the pool surface manufacturers guidelines for your
particular pool. For vinyl and fiberglass pools, salt can be added at start up
.
