Salt Level - Hayward AQUA RITE pro Guia Del Usuario

Salt level

Use the chart on page 4 to determine how much salt in Kgs need to be added to reach the recom-
mended levels. Use the equations below if pool size is unknown.
The ideal salt level is between 2.7 - 3.4 g/L (parts per million) with 3.2 g/L being optimal. If
the level is low, determine the number of M
page 4. A low salt level will reduce the efficiency of the AquaRite Pro and result in low chlorine
production. A high salt level can cause the AquaRite Pro to shutdown and may begin to give a
salty taste to your pool (generally, the salt will begin to be tasted at a level of about 3.5 - 4.0 g/L).
The salt in your pool/spa is constantly recycled and the loss of salt throughout the swimming
season should be small. This loss is due primarily to the addition of water because of splashing,
backwashing, or draining (because of rain). Salt is not lost due to evaporation.
Type of Salt to Use
It is important to use only sodium chloride (NaCl) salt that is greater than 99% pure. Use only
salt for electronic chlorine generator usually available in 25 Kg bags. Do not use rock salt, salt
with yellow prussiate of soda, salt with anti-caking additives, or iodized salt.
How to Add or Remove Salt
For new plaster pools, wait 10-14 days before adding salt to allow the plaster to cure. Turn the
circulating pump on and add salt directly into the pool. Brush the salt around to speed up the
dissolving process. Do not allow salt to pile up on the bottom of the pool. Run the filter pump
for 24 hours with the suction coming from the main drain (use pool vac if there is no main drain)
to allow the salt to evenly disperse throughout the pool. The salt display may take 24 hours to
respond to the change in salt concentration.
The only way to lower the salt concentration is to partially drain the pool and refill with fresh
water.
Always check stabilizer (cyanuric acid), when checking salt. These levels will most likely
decline together. Use the chart on page 5 to determine how much stabilizer must be added to
raise the level to 25 ppm. Use stabilizer only if necessary.
