Hayward Salt & Swim Salt & Swim Owner's Manual - Page 3

Introduction The Salt & SwimTM is an automatic chlorine generation system for pool sanitization. It is designed for inground swimming pools up to 25,000 gallons only. The Salt & Swim is NOT to be used with above ground pools or with inground pools greater than 25,000 gallons. The Salt & Swim requires a low concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the pool water. It automatically sanitizes your pool by converting the salt into free chlorine which kills bacteria and algae in the water. Chlorine will revert back to sodium chloride after killing bacteria. These reactions will continuously recycle virtually eliminating the need to add sanitizing chemicals to your pool. The Salt & Swim can handle the purification needs of most residential swimming pools up to 25,000 gallons (95,000 liters). This unique low cost chlorine generator uses a replaceable electrolytic Cell that is designed to last for one pool season. The Salt & Swim is offered in two models: DIY-12 uses a 12 month or 3000 hour replaceable Cell DIY-6 uses a 6 month or 1500 hour replaceable Cell Note that the actual amount of chlorination required to properly sanitize a pool varies due to bather load, rainfall, temperature, and the pool's cleanliness. NOTE: Before installing this product as part of a saline water purification system in a pool or spa using natural stone for coping or for immediately adjacent patios/ decking, a qualified stone installation specialist should be consulted regarding the appropriate type, installation, sealant (if any) and maintenance of stone used around a saline pool with electronic chlorine generator in your particular location and circumstances. NOTE: The use of dry acid (sodium bisulfate) to adjust pool pH is discouraged especially in arid regions where pool water is subject to excessive evaporation and is not commonly diluted with fresh water. Dry acid can cause a buildup of byproducts that can damage your chlorinator Cell. 1
