The Digital Nano/Nano + is not designed to chlorine shock treat, or build up a chlorine residual, when starting with a zero or very low chlorine level. -
Page 32: Adding Salt
Page 29 8.8.3 Adding Salt Type of Salt to Add It is important to use Sodium Chloride (NaCl) salt that is greater than 99% pure. Acceptable types of salt include granular food grade, pool salt, water softener pellets, or solar salt flakes; these are usually available in 25 to 60 lb bags (11 to 36 kg) at local pool or building supply outlets. -
Page 33: Programming At Installation
Page 30 8.9 PROGRAMMING AT INSTALLATION The Digital Nano/Nano + requires the pool volume be initially programmed into the installer menu. The control center will then indicate how many pounds (kgs) of salt to add should salt levels fall. The default pool size is 15,000 gallons (56,781 liters). -

Bacteria and algae growth is greatly reduced at this temperature, so this should not be a problem.

Page 41: Chlorine
Page 38 10.1.1 Chlorine The desirable form of chlorine is called Free Chlorine. This form of chlorine is responsible for the actual sanitation activity in pools and spas. Free chlorine is highly reactive and once added to pool/spa water has a tendency to combine with organic matter in the pool/spa. It quickly attacks pathogens as well as other bather wastes. -
Page 42: Using The Saturation Index
Page 39 10.2 USING THE SATURATION INDEX This index is used by pool professionals to ensure that your total water chemistry does not fall into a corrosive or scaling condition. Either condition can cause premature damage to the cell, any of your other equipment, as well as your cementitious finish. - Page 43 Page 40 3) Using Table 9, find the current salt level in the left column. 4) Determine and locate the pool/spa volume in the top column. 5) Locate the intersection of the row and column to find the amount of salt needed to bring the pool to the ideal level.
