4.6. Start-up
1. Check that the filter is 100% clean, and ensure that the swimming pool and the installation do
not contain copper, iron or algae. Ensure that any heating equipment on the pool is suitable for use
in salt water.
2. Ensure that the swimming pool water is balanced. Balanced water enables the chlorine that is
produced to be used more efficiently and effectively, and ensures that the life of the electrodes is
prolonged. Water should be maintained within the parameters shown below:
a) pH must be in the range 7.2-7.6
b) Total alkalinity must be in the range 60-120 ppm
3. Although the salt electrolysis system can work at a salinity range of 5 – 12 g/l, try to maintain
the recommended minimum salt level of 5 g/l, by adding 5 kg per m
already contain salt. Always use common salt (sodium chloride), without additives like iodides or
anti-caking, that is "apt for human consumption". Never add the salt through the cell. Add it directly
to the swimming pool or into the balance tank (away from the pool drain).
4. When adding the salt, and in case the swimming pool is going to be used immediately, carry out
a treatment with chlorine. An initial dose of 2 g/m
5. Prior to starting up the salt chlorinator, disconnect the power supply to the salt chlorinator and run
the filtration pump for 24 hours to ensure that the salt is completely dissolved.
6. Next, reconnect the power supply and turn on the salt chlorinator, locating the production level so
that free chlorine concentration stays within the recommended range (0.5 – 1.5 ppm).
NOTE: in order to establish the free chlorine level you will need to use a test kit.
7. In outdoor swimming pools it is advisable to maintain a level of 25-30 g/m
(cyanuric acid) in the pool. A level of 75 g/m
