How much salt should you add?

Determine the chlorinator’s desired salt level for the applicable unit. Different systems require different salt levels in order to function properly.

  1. Determine the current salt level
  2. Do not allow large amounts of salt to sit on the surface of the pool after adding. Brush if necessary
  3. TURN OFF the chlorinator before adding salt
  4. Allow salt to completely dissolve before resuming operation
  5. Leave the PUMP ON to circulate the water and help dissolve the salt
  6.  

Approximate kilograms of salt required to achieve salinity of 4000 ppm in the pool. (40kg per 10 000L)
