Refer to table 3 to determine how much salt should be added to your pool for proper performance. Use the equation below to determine
the gallons or liters of water in your pool. Note: Always test for salt levels PRIOR to adding salt to the water.

The optimum salt level is between 3200 and 3700 ppm. The salt level can easily be checked using test strips commonly sold at your local
pool store. If the salt level is low, use Table 3 to determine how much salt must be added to achieve the desired level.
Using Table 3, first locate on the top row the gallonage of your pool. Then look in the first column marked current salt level and find your
current salt level. Follow that row over to where it intersects with our pool gallon column. The number in that box shows the number of
pounds of salt you must add in order to achieve the ideal salinity. Remember that the only way that your pool will lose salt is if:
It is imperative that you use only sodium chloride (NaCL) that is 99% pure. This is commonly available at most reputable pool stores or
home centers in a variety of sizes. Do NOT use rock salt, salt with more than 1% yellow prussiate of soda, salt with more than 1% anti
caking additives. DO NOT USE IODIZED SALT.
Turn pool filter on and add salt directly to the pool. Use a brush to dissolve and disperse salt throughout pool. A pool vacuum or robotic
pool cleaner will serve the same purposes. Run the pump for the next 24 hours using the main drain for suction. If no main drain is
available, use the pool vacuum. Do not add salt through your skimmer; add directly into pool and brush to dissolve.
The only way to remove salt or lower salinity is to drain water off and fill with fresh water.
