1 OPERA TION The Aqua Rite ® is an automatic chlorine generation system for pool or spa sanita- tion. The operation requires a low concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the pool water. These levels are low enough that it normally will not be tasted. The Aqua Rite automatically sanitizes your pool by converting the salt into free chlorine whic[...]

Saturation index The saturation index (Si) relates to the calcium and alkalinity in the water and is an indicator of the pool water "balance". Y our water is properly balanced if the Si is 0 ±.2. If the Si is below -0.2, the water is corrosive and plaster pool walls will be dissolved into the water . If the Si is above +0.2, scaling and [...]

3 Salt Level Use the chart on page 4 to determine how much salt in pounds or (Kgs) need to be added to reach the recommended levels. Use the equations below (measurements are in feet/gallons and meters/liters) if pool size is unknown. The ideal salt level is between 2700-3400 ppm (parts per million) with 3200 ppm being optimal. If the level is low,[...]
