Preparing Your Water Before Installation - ChlorKing CHLOR-5.0 User Manual

PREPARING YOUR WATER BEFORE INSTALLATION

ChlorKing® saline chlorination systems operate by utilizing the sodium chloride
that has been added to the pool water, to produce sodium hypochlorite (liquid
chlorine), through the process of electrolysis.
In order for your ChlorKing®
must be added directly to the pool at least 24 hours before the installation of the
equipment.
5 kg of sodium chloride must be added for every 1,000 litres of pool water (ie: a
200,000-litre pool will require 1,000 kg of salt for start-up).
It is best to add the salt around the pool, and not load all salt in one section.
Once the salt has been added, brush the surface of the pool continuously until
the salt has all dissolved. You must never leave large amounts of salt on the
surface of the pool, as this may cause damage to the pool surface.
When you add the initial load of salt, you will need to add additional chlorine, as
the salt will cause a chlorine demand.
Your pool water should be balanced in the following range before turning your
ChlorKing® system on;
Water balance parameters
Free available chlorine
pH
Total alkalinity
Calcium hardness
Cyanuric Acid (stabilizer)
Salt ranges
Salt level
NOTE: Low salt levels will cause a reduction in chlorine production and will
damage the device. High salt levels will increase the possibility of corrosion on
pool equipment.
NOTE: If too much salt has been added, dilute with fresh water.
