How much salt does the system require?
The Aqua Rite™ works best with approximately 3200 ppm salt, which is roughly the equivalent to a teaspoon per gallon. However, the Aqua Rite™ will operate with salt levels anywhere from 2700 ppm to 3400 ppm.

Will the water taste salty?
Generally you should not be able to taste any salt in the pool because the level of salt in the water is so low, however some people with sensitive palates might detect a small amount of salt.

Why use electronic chlorination over traditional chlorine?
Traditional chlorine ties up with wastes in the water creating what are called chloramines. Electronic chlorinators continuously oxidize the chloramines and create "Free Chlorine". Chloramines are what cause common side affects associated with chlorine such as irritation to eyes and skin, bleaching of bathing suits, and that awful chlorine smell. Furthermore you will no longer have to buy, mix or store chlorine, which saves time, money and keeps you from direct contact with a potentially harmful chemical.

Will the Aqua Rite™ work on a portable spa?
The Aqua Rite™ chlorinator is specifically designed for use with in-ground pools, and will not work with portable spas or hot tubs due to its high output. We are currently in the process of designing such a system so please check back periodically.

What kind of maintenance do I have to do with this system?
Continue to test the chlorine level of the pool on a weekly basis. Adjust the dial of the Aqua Rite™ chlorinator to adjust more or less chlorine. If there has been a large number of swimmers in the pool or the pool water is cloudy, you can put the Aqua Rite™ chlorinator into "Super Chlorinate" mode where it will automaticially generate the maximum amount of chlorine for 24 hours. The Turbo Cell should be inspected and cleaned if necessary every three months or when starting up the system.

What kind of salt do I use and where can I get it?
Salt is now available at many pool stores. It is the same salt commonly found at home improvement centers nationwide for use with home water conditioners. For more information on salt click the link below.
