Level Of Salt; Procedure For Adding Or Remove Salt - CARVIN SANICLEAR 40 Manuel D'installation Et D'opération

RECOMMENDED LEVEL OF SALT
To determine how much salt will be needed, use the chart. Most pools contain some salt, depending on the water source
and chemicals used for sanitizing. Therefore, the pool owner must always test salt levels before adding salt. A hand
held meter calibrated for NaCl (salt) can be used to determine the salt levels of the pool water. After the SANICLEAR
system has started the LCD will display the salt level.
- 2700 to 3400 ppm of salt is recommended for optimum water conditions.
The factory default water level is 3000ppm.
- Low salt concentration below 2400 ppm will cause the unit to turn off.
- High salt concentration above 5000ppm may cause excessive corrosion or deterioration to pool equipment and
surrounding surfaces in and around the pool.
Note: Salt measurements will vary between measuring devices (salt test strips, electronic testers, and titration). The salt
sensor reading is within +/- 500 ppm accuracy.
Check expiry of the test kit as it may result in inaccurate reading.
PROCEDURE FOR ADDING SALT:
TURN OFF the salt chlorinator for 24 hours with the pump and filter operating. This will help to evenly distribute the
salt. After having it back ON, allow 24 hours before the salt display can react to the change in salt concentration.
- IN GROUND POOLS: Turn the filter pump ON. Add the salt directly into the pool water at the shallow end.
- ABOVE GROUND POOLS WITH MAIN DRAINS: While the pump is running, add directly in front of the
return jet of pool. To allow the salt to evenly distribute in the pool, run the filter pump for 24 hours with
suction coming from the main drain.
- ABOVE GROUND POOLS WITHOUT MAIN DRAINS: While the pump is running, add the salt directly
into the pool water. Stir the salt to speed up dissolving — Do not let the salt sit in a pile at bottom of the pool
floor. To allow the salt to evenly distribute in the pool, run the filter pump for 24 hours with suction using the
pool vacuum (if there is no main drain).
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.
PROCEDURE TO REMOVE SALT:
Salt does not evaporate from pool water. To lower the salt concentration you must drain the pool partially and refill
with new fresh water.
