(131) MODEL CS8110 SALTWATER SYSTEM ENGLISH 7.5” X 10.3” PANTONE 295U 07/28/2010 131 HOW THE CHLORINE IS GENERATED This product is specially designed for above ground pools. It will destroy the bacteria, oxidize bather organics and control algae, which provide a safe, clean and comfortable swimming pool. Common salt (sodium chloride) is made up of two elements, sodium and chloride.
(131) MODEL CS8110 SALTWATER SYSTEM ENGLISH 7.5” X 10.3” PANTONE 295U 07/28/2010 131 SETUP INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT • The Saltwater System requires a separate filter pump [700~4000 gph (2650~15140 lph)] to drive the water and function properly. • The Saltwater System must be installed as the last piece of pool equipment in the water return line to the pool as displayed in Drawing #1. This location extends the life of the titanium plates. 1.
(131) MODEL CS8110 SALTWATER SYSTEM ENGLISH 7.5” X 10.3” PANTONE 295U 07/28/2010 131 SETUP INSTRUCTIONS (continued) 1. Go directly to step 2 if your pool is empty. If your above-ground-pool is filled with water, unscrew the strainer grids from the strainer connectors and insert the black hat-like plugs into the connectors, before installing the saltwater pool system. 2. Connect the adaptor A (1) to the electrolytic cell (4) outlet as shown in Drawing #1. Tighten securely. 4 1 3.

(131) MODEL CS8110 SALTWATER SYSTEM ENGLISH 7.5” X 10.3” PANTONE 295U 07/28/2010 131 SALT & POOL WATER VOLUMES • Which kind of salt to use: Use only Sodium Chloride Salts Use only sodium chloride (NaCl) salt that is at least 99.8% pure. It is also acceptable to use water conditioning salt pellets (the compressed forms of evaporated salt). However, it will take a longer time for them to dissolve. Do not use iodized or yellow (yellow prussiate of soda) colored salt.
