Water Chemistry The table below summarizes the levels that are recommended by The Association of Pool and Spa Professionals (APSP). It is important to maintain these levels in order to prevent corrosion or scaling and to ensure maximum performance from your Salt & Swim 3C chlorine generator. Have your water tested or use pool water test strips and refer to the Chemistry Quick Start Guide information on testing and adjusting your pool's water chemistry. Your Authorized Salt & Swim 3C Dealer or most pool stores can provide you with the chemicals and procedures to adjust the water chemistry as well. Note that pool water emanating from wells and municipal water supplies, along with the introduction of environmental contaminants, can contain chemistries that are deleterious to the life expectancy of the Cell. Saturation index The saturation index (Si) relates to the calcium and alkalinity in the water and is an indicator of the pool water "balance". Your 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 staining will occur. Use the chart below to determine the saturation index.

Water Chemistry
The table below summarizes the levels that are recommended by The Association of Pool and Spa
Professionals (APSP).
It is important to maintain these levels in order to prevent corrosion or scal-
ing and to ensure maximum performance from your Salt & Swim 3C chlorine generator.
Have your
water tested or use pool water test strips and refer to the Chemistry Quick Start Guide information
on testing and adjusting your pool's water chemistry.
Your Authorized Salt & Swim 3C Dealer or most
pool stores can provide you with the chemicals and procedures to adjust the water chemistry as well.

Saturation index
The saturation index (Si) relates to the calcium and alkalinity in the water and is an indicator of the
pool water "balance".
Your 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 staining will occur.
Use the chart below to determine the saturation index.
