** A salt level of 3,500 - 4,500 ppm (mg/L) is recommended.
*** This is dictated by state or local codes but is typically 80 ppm (mg/L).
Refer to " Basic Water Chemistry " and " Using the Saturation Index " sections in this manual for further
information concerning pool/spa water chemistry maintenance requirements.
See "Troubleshooting" on page 25 for assistance with resolving low or high chlorine issues.

Basic Water Chemistry

®
The ChlorSync is designed to produce chlorine on a daily basis. To monitor the system's
efficiency, the water chemistry ranges and a schedule of periodic checks should be followed.
See Table 2 on the following page for recommendations.
CAUTION - Failure to heed the following may result in equipment damage.
Excessively high chlorine levels can cause premature cell depletion and corrosion damage to pool
l
fixtures and equipment.
Always turn the ChlorSync
l
Never use dry acid to adjust pH in arid geographic areas with excessive evaporation and minimal
l
dilution. A buildup of by-products can damage the cell.
Always follow the instructions on the manufacturer's label whenever handling or using chemicals.
