STARTUP
BEFORE ADDING THE SALT
o Balance the chemicals.
See the titled “Understanding the Chemistry” for recommended water
balance. Also, add 1 quart of metal remover and 1 quart of non-copper based algaecide to the pool,
according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This will ensure that the transition to the Comfort-Chlor
system will be quick and trouble-free.
o Measure existing salt in your pool.
Years of liquid chlorine use may cause the salt reading to be
higher due to residual salt.
o New Pools: Wait 10-14 days, or longer if specified by the pool builder, for plaster to cure before
adding salt or operating the Comfort-Chlor Chlorine Generator.
o Biguanide Pools: If installing on a pool using Biguanide sanitizers, all Biguanides must be removed
before system startup.
ADDING THE SALT
1. Determine how much salt is needed from the Salinity Demand Table on the following page. This table
is based on a salt concentration of 3500 ppm (approximately 1/3 of 1%). More may be added for
larger pools (e.g. 4000 ppm) and less for very small bodies of water.
2. Keep the pump on to circulate the water.
3. Distribute the determined amount of salt evenly around the pool. To avoid clogging the filter or
damaging the Control Box and pump, do not add salt through the skimmer or surge tank. Brushing
the bottom helps dissolve the salt.
4. The readout on the chlorine generator may fluctuate until the salt is fully dissolved.
UNACCEPTABLE SALTS
Do Not Use:
Iodized Salt
