Conductivity / Salt concentration
A water's capacity to allow an electric current to flow, conductivity is proportional to concentration of dissolved minerals (partly originating from
water treatment products). The value in μS reveals "the water age of your pool".
The choice of unit of conductivity (µS or g/l) is determined by the calibration mode/change of units (see p34 on the indoor display).
If the display uses µS as the unit of measurement and the value exceeds 1999µS, it will automatically switch to g/l. Tap water normally has a

Conductivity in a salt electrolysis pool (in g/l)
> Conductivity too low (depending on type of electrolyser): add salt up to the value advised for your electrolyser.
> Conductivity is too high (depending on type of electrolyser): change the pool water (drain + refill) until the desired value is obtained.
Conductivity in a pool without salt electrolysis (in μS/cm)
> Conductivity is too high (> 1200 μS, modifiable default alarm value): change the pool water (drain + refill) until a value of below 1200 μS is obtained. Water
with conductivity of over 1200μS is said to be "buffered", and treatments become ineffective.
ORP : Oxidation-Reduction Potential
Concentration level of disinfectant (chlorine, bromine, active oxygen ...) present in the pool. For this "disinfection potential" measurement, it is
usually advised to keep to between 650 mV and 750 mV. The Oxidation-Reduction Potential tells us about the oxidant quality in the water. It is the
result of the ratio quantity of disinfectant / quantity of pollution.

EXCESSIVELY HIGH ORP CAUSES SKIN IRRITATION AND MAY DAMAGE THE ELEMENTS OF YOUR POOL.
ESCESSIVELY LOW ORP MAY BE A HEALTH HAZARD
> Make sure that:
- the bottle has been removed from the ORP sensor
- the ORP sensor is not clogged
> Manual regulation: > Add disinfectant (chlorine, bromine, active oxygen...) to the desired value.
> Automatic regulation: > Have your pool dealer verify that your equipment is working correctly.
