How to Add Salt to the Pool
CAUTION - Do not operate the IECG with newly poured pool plaster or a newly constructed pool,
regardless of pool lining material. Severe salt damage can occur. FOR ALL NEW POOLS, wait at least
ONE (1) MONTH after construction and filling of pool water before operating IECG.
1. Switch on the pump to circulate the pool water.
2. Check salt level in pool water before adding any salt to pool.
3. Determine the amount of salt from the following charts.
4. Slowly pour in the salt around the outer perimeter of the pool for quick and even distribution. To
avoid clogging the filter or damaging pool related equipment and surrounding surfaces, do not
add salt through the skimmer or surge tank.
5. Brush the pool bottom and allow water to circulate for 24 hours to dissolve salt completely.
6. After 24 hours, verify correct salt level reading by checking the LED indicators on the IntelliChlor
Electronic Chlorine Generator and by a separate reliable test method.
7. Power on the IntelliChlor Electronic Chlorine Generator and set the Sanitizer Output level to the
proper setting to maintain the appropriate free chlorine levels in the pool water (i.e., within the
2.0 - 4.0 ppm, APSP recommended range).
