INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Salt
Use refined pure salt (sodium chloride), avoid additives such as iodine. Add salt at the rate
of 4 kg per 1000 litres to raise the salt level from 0 to 4000 ppm. For existing pools with
a residual of sodium chloride from chlorine use, determine the current level of salt in the
pool then add enough salt to raise the level to 4000 ppm. 1 gram per litre (or 1 kg per 1000
litres) raises the salt level 1000 ppm. Refer to Salt Chart for further detail.
Distribute the salt evenly at various positions in the pool. Do not pour into skimmer box.
The pump may be turned on to circulate the water and help the salt dissolve. Note: do not
operate the Clearwater before the salt has dissolved, this will cause damage to the unit. Af-
ter all the salt has dissolved, set the chlorine output control to maximum. If the output light
reaches the maximum level, the salt level is correct.
Note that the chlorinator output depends on salt concentration, water temperature, and
mains power voltage. The nominal standard values of 4000 ppm salt, 27 ºC (80° F) water
temperature, and correct mains voltage, will provide maximum output. If any one or more
of these three variables are less than the standard values, the output may be less.
2. Install the cell
a) It is very important that the Clearwater is the last piece of equipment before the pool.
If it is not, the chlorine will corrode other equipment. It is also extremely unsafe for
the gases produced by the chlorinator to travel through a filter or heater.
