A saturation index of 0 is perfectly balanced
A negative saturation index has corrosive tendencies
A positive saturation index has scaling tendencies
A saturation index of +0.3 or -0.3 is ideal
*-12.1 should be changed to -12.2 if Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)
measure at 1,000 ppm or greater

Optimum Pool Water Conditions

4.4
In accordance with the Association of Pool and Spa
Professionals (APSP ) standards, we recommend the
® ®
following water balance conditions be maintained on
an on-going basis to protect the pool finish and the
equipment and to ensure the pleasing appearance of
the water. The Jandy Pro Series is warranted to operate
properly only if the following conditions are met:
Free Chlorine: Ideal levels should be 1.0 - 3.0 ppm.
Combined Chlorine (Chloramines): None. Use shock
(fast dissolving chlorine to remove all chloramines).
pH: 7.4 - 7.6 (Use muriatic acid to lower pH and soda
ash to raise pH).
Chlorine Stabilizer (Cyanuric Acid): 30 - 50 ppm (for
outdoor pools only).
Total Alkalinity: 80 - 120 ppm (U.S.); 100 - 120 ppm
(Canada)
Calcium Hardness: 200 - 400 ppm
Metals (Iron, Manganese): None
Nitrates: None
Phosphates: None
Temperature: Above 60ºF (16ºC)

4.5 Collecting a Water Sample

To properly collect a water sample for use with your
home test kit or to be taken to local pool dealer there are
some good practice suggestions that should be followed.

• Never use glass containers in the pool area.
• Choose a location well away from the return fittings
that are bringing water back to the pool.
• Take the container and turn it upside down to trap
air and then turn the container upright 46 cm (18
in.) below the surface of the water. Bring container
to the surface and cap the container..
4.6 Salt (NaCI Sodium Chloride)

When to add salt

Add salt to the pool if the salt is too low (see Table 1).
For a new pool or newly resurfaced pool it is
recommended to wait at least 30 days (surface should
be completely cured) before adding salt. Do not run
the chlorinator at this time. Manually chlorinate the
pool. Contact your dealer for recommendations. Follow
the pool surface manufacturer's guidelines for your
particular pool. For vinyl and fiberglass pools, salt can
be added at start up.

What Type of Salt to Use

• The purer the salt, the better the life and performance
of the electrolytic cell. Use a salt that is at least 99.8%
pure NaCl. The salt is an evaporated, granulated, food
quality, non-iodized salt. Consult your pool store.
• Avoid using salt with anti-caking agents (sodium
ferrocyanide, also known as YPS or yellow prussiate
of soda) that could cause some discoloration of
fittings and surface finishes in pool.
• Water conditioning salt pellets are compressed forms
of evaporated salt and may be used but will take
longer to dissolve.
• Do not use calcium chloride as a source of salt. Use
sodium chloride only.
• Do not use rock salt because insoluble impurities
mixed with the rock salt can shorten the life of the unit.

How Much Salt to Use

Use salinity test strips, a TDS/salinity meter, or another
reliable method to test the salinity of the pool water. Once
the existing salinity has been established, use Table 1 to
determine the amount of salt to add to reach the desired
level. Be conservative when adding salt as it is easier to
add more if needed than it is to dilute if there is too much
salt.
• 3,000 ppm of salt is recommended for optimum
water conditions.
• Low salt concentration below 2,500 ppm will cause
premature cell failure.
• High salt concentration above 6,000 ppm may cause
corrosion damage to pool fixtures.
