Collecting a Water Sample

To properly collect a water sample for use with your
home test kit or to be taken to local pool dealer there are
some good practice suggestions that should be followed.
• Never use glass containers in the pool area.
• Choose a location well away from the return fittings
that are bringing water back to the pool.
• Take the container and turn it upside down to trap
air and then turn the container upright 46 cm (18 in.)
below the surface of the water. Bring container to
the surface and cap the container.

Salt (NaCI Sodium Chloride)

When to add salt
Add salt to the pool if the salt is too low (see Table 1).
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. Do not run
the chlorinator at this time. Manually chlorinate the
pool. Contact your dealer for recommendations. Follow
the pool surface manufacturer's guidelines for your
particular pool. For vinyl and fiberglass pools, salt can
be added at start up.
What Type of Salt to Use
• The purer the salt, the better the life and performance
of the electrolytic cell. Use a salt that is at least
99.8% pure NaCl. The salt is an evaporated,
granulated, food quality, non-iodized salt. Consult
your pool store.
• Avoid using salt with anti-caking agents (sodium
ferrocyanide, also known as YPS or yellow prussiate
of soda) that could cause some discoloration of
fittings and surface finishes in pool.
It is important to note that certain materials used in and
around swimming pools and spas may not be compatible
with chemicals commonly used to purify pool and spa
water (e.g. acids, chlorine, salt, stabilizers, etc.).
Zodiac Pool Systems LLC does not warrant or guarantee
that the chlorinated water generated by the Jandy
chlorine generating device will not damage or destroy
certain types of plants, decking, coping and other
materials in and around your pool and/or spa. Before
selecting materials to be used in and around your
pool and/or spa, please discuss all options with your
contractor to assess the compatibility of such materials
and chemicals. When mixing acid with water, ALWAYS
ADD ACID TO WATER. NEVER ADD WATER TO ACID.
Some helpful considerations may include:
• Choosing plants that can withstand splash out of pool
water containing chlorine and/or salt and other water
purification chemicals.

Installation & Operation Manual
CAUTION
• Water conditioning salt pellets are compressed forms
of evaporated salt and may be used but will take
longer to dissolve.
• Do not use calcium chloride as a source of salt. Use
sodium chloride only.
• Do not use rock salt because insoluble impurities
mixed with the rock salt can shorten the life of the unit.
How Much Salt to Use
Use salinity test strips, a TDS/salinity meter, or another
reliable method to test the salinity of the pool water. Once
the existing salinity has been established, use Table 1 to
determine the amount of salt to add to reach the desired
level. 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.
• 3,000 ppm of salt is recommended for optimum
water conditions.
• Low salt concentration below 2,500 ppm will cause
premature cell failure.
• High salt concentration above 6,000 ppm may cause
corrosion damage to pool fixtures.
How to Add Salt to the Pool
1. Turn on pump to circulate pool water.
2. IMPORTANT - Turn the power pack off by
pressing and holding the ON/Off button for
6 seconds.
3. Test the water for salinity level using test strips,
electronic meter, or by your local pool professional.
• 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.
