Preparing the pool water
To prepare the pool water to enable the AquaRite

pool can take several hours. The procedure must therefore be started well before the AquaRite
Adding salt: Add the salt several hours or, if possible, a day before turning on the Compass Salt Water salt chlorinator.
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 salt concentration depends on the unit model. Reference: 3 g/l for standard salinity units, and 1.5 g/l for low salinity
units (displayed in % on the screen).
A low salt level reduces the efficiency of the AquaRite
will display the message "Low" on the screen. There is no risk of premature deterioration of the box and cell.
There is no risk of damage to the box or the cell due to a high salt concentration. The effect of this is simply that it gives
your pool water a salty taste.
As the salt in your pool is constantly being recycled, the loss of salt during the season is minimal. The salt concentration
is primarily reduced when the water level must be topped up due to splashing or backwashing, or when rain adds fresh
water to the pool. Salt is not lost through evaporation.
Type of salt to use
Use only salt that complies with standard EN 16401 and is intended for salt chlorinators. 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 required in order to achieve a
concentration of 25 ppm. Add stabilizer only if necessary.
Do not add stabilizer to indoor pools.
