How to Add Salt to the Pool
CAUTION - FOR ALL NEWLY SURFACED PLASTER POOLS: Do not operate the IntelliChlor SCG with
newly surfaced pool plaster. Salt is a corrosive element and severe salt damage can occur to your pool.
Wait at least ONE (1) MONTH after construction to allow plaster to cure before adding salt and operating
IntelliChlor SCG. Follow the pool surface manufacturer's guidelines for your specific pool. FOR NEW VINYL
LINER POOLS, contact the manufacturer for recommended guidelines before adding salt and operating the
IntelliChlor SCG.
1. Check salt level in the water before adding any salt to pool.
2. Determine the amount of salt from the following chart.
3. Slowly pour the salt around the outer perimeter of the pool for quick and even distribution. To
avoid clogging the filter or damaging pool related equipment and surrounding surfaces, do not
add salt through the skimmer or surge tank.
4. Brush the pool bottom and allow water to circulate for 24 hours to dissolve salt completely.
5. After 24 hours, verify correct salt level reading by checking the LED indicators on the IntelliChlor
SCG and by a separate reliable test method.
6. Power on the IntelliChlor
the appropriate free chlorine levels in the pool water (i.e., within the 2.0 - 4.0 ppm, APSP
recommended range).

NOTE: The cyanuric acid reading should be maintained at 30 - 50 ppm.
See Table 2 (page 14) for approximate pounds (lbs) / kilogram (kg) of salt needed to obtain 3,600 ppm in
pool.
