What’s the ideal Salt ppm?

[rnaval]

I’m currently at 3700, how do I determine what the salt level should be?

 

[HermanTX]

I found in manual that range is 2700 to 3400ppm. What does your system report as salt level? I assume the 3700ppm reading is from your test kit.

 

[rnaval]

The reading is from the SWG, I have a Hayward Aquarite with a T-15.

You need the test results from the K-1766 salinity test kit.

What are your volts and amps?

High salt causes high amps which causes heat in components which burn out Aquarite boards

You want to keep the SWG happy with salt around 3000 and amps in the 6s for best board life.

How do I tell volts and amps? At the unit?

Is the reading at the SWG usually higher or lower than actual level?

Pressing the diagnostic button sequentially will display:

• Default salt display
• Pool temp
• Cell Voltage - When not generating, the voltage is about 30 to 32 volts dc. When generating, the voltage drops about 1 volt per amp of current.
• Cell current
• Desired output (% of the knob)
• Instant salinity
• Product name
• Software revision (r.XX)
• Cell type

Can be either depending on the performance of the cell.
