OPERATION
HOW TO USE:
Measure pool pH, temperature, calcium hardness, and total alkalinity. Use the chart above to
determine Ti, Ci,and Ai from your measurements. Insert values of pH, Ti, Ci and Ai into the above equation. If
Si equals .2 or more, scaling andstaining may occur. If Si equals -.2 or less corrosion or irritation may occur.
Salt Level:
Use the chart below to determine the amount of salt needs to be added to reach the recommended levels.
Use the equations below to determine the size of your pool.
The ideal salt level is between 3200-4000 ppm. (parts per million) with 3600 ppm being the optimal level.
Calculate the number of gallons in the pool and add salt according to the chart.
A LOW salt level will reduce the efficiency of the SPS and result in low chlorine production.
Excessively HIGH salt levels will cause the SPS to shut down, making pool water unsafe for bathers.
LOW salt levels can cause the SPS not to operate efficiently, causing the same.
Type of Salt to Use:
is important to use only sodium chloride (NaCl) that is 99% pure. This is common food quality or water
softener salt available in 40-80 lb/bag at your local store. It is also acceptable to use water conditioning salt
pellets; however it will take longer for them to dissolve. Do not use rock salt, salt with more than 1% yellow
prussiate of soda, salt with more than 1% of anti-caking additives, or iodized salt.
Type of Salt to Use:
IN GROUND POOLS:
Turn the filter pump on and add the salt directly into the pool at the shallow end.
ABOVE GROUND POOLS WITH MAIN DRAINS:
Add directly in front of the return jet to pool. Run the
filter pump for 24 hours with the suction coming from the main drain (use the pool vacuum if there is no
main drain) to allow the salt to evenly disperse throughout the pool.
ABOVE GROUND POOLS WITHOUT MAIN DRAINS:
Add directly into the pool. Brush the salt to speed
up the dissolving process—to not allow the salt to sit in a pile on the bottom of the pool. -------ELIMINATE
THE FOLLOWING--(Run the filter pump for 24 hours with the suction coming from the main drain (use
the pool vacuum if there is no main drain) to allow the salt to evenly disperse throughout the pool).
ON ANY POOL, DO NOT ADD SALT DIRECTLY TO THE SKIMMERS OR DIRECTLY ONTO THE
MAIN DRAIN. THIS WILL SHUT DOWN OR SHORTEN THE LIFE OF THE CELL DUE TO HIGH SALT
CONCENTRATION AND REDUCED FLOW TO THE PUMP.
If added incorrectly, immediately turn off SPS for 24 hours with the pump and filter operating This will help to
evenly distribute the salt. The salt display may take 24 hours to respond to the change in salt concentration.
