Preparing the pool water
To prepare the pool water to enable the AquaRite LT to function, its chemical composition must be balanced and salt added. This must
be done BEFORE turning on the AquaRite LT. Certain adjustments to the chemical balance of the pool can take several hours. The
procedure must therefore be started well before the AquaRite LT is turned on.
Adding salt: Add the salt several hours or, if possible, a day before turning on the AquaRite LT. Ensure that the recommended amount of
salt is used. Measure the salt content 6 to 8 hours after adding the salt to the swimming pool.
NOTE: If the water in the pool is not fresh and/or if it is liable to contain dissolved metals, use a metal remover, according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
If your water has previously been treated with a product other than chlorine (bromine, hydrogen peroxide, PHMB, etc.), neutralize this
product or replace all the water in the pool.
Salt concentration
Use the following table to determine the quantity of salt (in kg) needed to reach the recommended concentrations. Use the formulae
below if you do not know the volume of your swimming pool.
The ideal salt concentration is between 2.7 and 3.4 g/l, with 3.2 g/l being the optimum value. If the level is low, determine the volume
3
(m ) of the pool and add salt in accordance with the following table. A low salt level reduces the efficiency of the AquaRite LT and
reduces chlorine production. A high salt concentration can cause the AquaRite LT to fail and make your pool water taste salty. As the
salt in your pool is constantly being recycled, the loss of salt during the season is minimal. Salt is mainly lost when water has to be
added due to splashing, backwashing or draining (because of rain). Salt is not lost through evaporation.
Type of salt to use
Use only salt intended for chlorinators in conformance with EN 16401. Use only sodium chloride (NaCl) that is more than 99% pure.
Do not use food-grade salt, iodized salt, salt containing yellow prussiate of soda or salt containing anti-caking additives.
How to add or remove salt
For new pools, let the plaster dry for ten to fourteen days before adding salt. Start up the filtration pump, then add salt directly into the
intake side of the pool. Make the water circulate to speed up the dissolution process. Do not allow salt to accumulate at the bottom of
the pool. Run the filtration pump for 24 hours, opening the main drain valve fully to allow the salt to dissolve evenly throughout the
pool.
The only way to lower the salt concentration is to partially empty the pool and refill it with fresh water.
Always check the stabilizer (cyanuric acid) when checking the salt concentration. The corresponding concentrations tend to decrease
together. Refer to the following table to determine the quantity of stabilizer to be added to bring the concentration to 25 ppm. Add
stabilizer only if necessary.
Do not add stabilizer to indoor pools.
