2- PREPARING THE SWIMMING POOL
2.1- Adding salt to the water
To ensure the chlorinator works correctly, a small amount of salt should be
added and the pH level should be suitable.
The recommended salt and pH levels are the following:
EVOLINK
Although the equipment will start to operate with lower amounts of salt, the
optimum production of chlorine will be reached with concentrations of over
4kg/m3 of salt. We recommend a concentration of 5Kg/m3 to offset small
losses of salt occurring when cleaning the filter, the effect of rainfall, etc.
To calculate the salt to be added, multiply the total m3 of your swimming pool
x 5.
Example : A swimming pool measuring 9m in length x 4.5m in width x
1.6m in depth, using a EVOLINK
9 x 4.5 x 1.6= 64.8 cubic meters. 64.8 x 5 = 324 Kg of salt to be added.
We recommend using salt especially prepared for use in salt water chlorination
installations, as it is especially prepared for quick dissolution for achieving
optimum results. You can find it at retailers specializing in swimming pool
products.
ATTENTION
When adding salt to the swimming pool, first disconnect the
chlorinator (switched OFF), and start-up the filter for 3 or 4 hours, in order for
the salt dissolving and not to overload the equipment. Once dissolved, switch
ON the chlorinator.
It is advisable to add salt to the swimming pool gradually, in 2 or 3 times so it
will not excess the recommended amount. Excess salt can overload the
chlorinator, in which case it will automatically stop working. If this case
happens, water has to be added in order to reduce the concentration.
We also recommend, do not add salt near the drain, to avoid undissolved salt
circulates through the hydraulic circuit.
