chirpy Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 you should ask pool installer as it can be different.i use 4000mg/litre=4g/litre=4,ooog/1000litres=4kilos.therefore for 75000litres use 75000divided by 1000=75x4kilos=300kilos.or12 bags 25kilos.you need to check salinity every 2-3 months and top up salt maybe 1 bag each time.

Barkham Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Just a point on checking salinity. My chlorinator (Surechlor 3000) has a facility to read the salt level. However, I find that this consistently underreads, and I was adding far more salt than necessary. I now use Aquacheck Pool & Spa Test Strips, which I buy from my pool supplier, and now find I need to add far less salt and still have good chlorine levels. I'm sure there are other brands available, but don't rely on the inicator on the chlorinator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
