Use a test strip (AquaChek or equivalent) to determine the salt content of the water. Add
enough salt to attain a level between 3000-3500 ppm, the optimum level is 3250 ppm. Use
only granulated, evaporated sodium chloride (99%plus pure) and never use salt with anti-
caking additives or Yellow Prussiate of Soda. Water conditioning pellets (with no additives)
can be used but may take longer to dissolve. When sodium bromide is used, it is in addition
to the required sodium chloride levels. Refer to the sodium bromide requirements chart in the
Reference section.
Per gallon salt requirements are approximately, 50 lbs. per 2000 gallons of water. Refer to the
chart below for exact dosages.

To add salt to existing pools, pour salt around the perimeter and mix with a brush to
ensure quick and even distribution.
For new or colored plaster, wait 10-14 days after pool is filled to allow adequate time
for the plaster to cure. Use only fine granulated salt. Pour salt evenly around the pool and
run pump continuously for three hours.
