Conductivity is the ability of a water to allow the passage of electric current, conductivity is
proportional to the concentration of dissolved minerals (derived in part from water treatment
products).
Info
The value in μS reveals "the age of the water in the basin".
ΜS/ g/L match: 1000 μS = 0.63 g/L and 1 g/L = 1587 μS.

• Conductivity in a salt electrolysis tank (in g/l)
– the conductivity is too low (depending on the type of electrolyser): add salt up to the
value recommended by your electrolyser.
– the conductivity is too high (depending on the type of electrolyser): renew the water in
the basin (emptying + filling) until the desired value is obtained
• The conductivity in a pool without salt electrolysis (in μS/cm)
– The conductivity is too high (>1200 μS, modifiable default alarm value): renew the pool
water (drain + fill) until a value of less than 1200 μS is obtained. A water with a
conductivity greater than 1200 μS is called "buffered", the treatments then become
ineffective.

• display limited between 0 and 1999
• value out of display limit:
– Conductivity < 0 g/l
– Conductivity > 19.99 g/l
• g/l unit used for salt electrolysis
• µS unit used without salt electrolysis
The choice of the conductivity unit (μS or g/l) is made by the
mode calibration/change of units (see Calibration mode
[ → Page 75]).
If the display uses μS as the unit of measurement and the
value rises above 1999 μS, it will automatically switch to g/l.
Tap water has a conductivity generally between 300 and
600 μS in France.
• conductivity in accordance with alarm setpoints
(factory pre-set from 50 μS to 1200 μS)
• conductivity outside the alarm setpoint values
("min" and "max" indicate if the value is too low or too
high)
