How
To Winterize A Salt Generator
The method for winterizing
a salt generator pool is not that different from a regular pool. In areas where
winter is extreme and a hard shut down is used, the pool should be using winterizing
chemicals. The salt generator should be deactivated and in some cases
disassembled and stored for the winter. Check with the generator manufacturer
for specific winterizing instructions. In some areas a complete shutdown may
not be necessary. In these areas you would simply turn down the hours of
filtration operation and reset the generator to run in accordance with that
schedule — typically this is 2 hours. For winter water temperatures, there
should be sufficient chlorine produced from the unit in two hours a day.
Knowing he underlying water
chemistry in pools is a key component to making sure that salt generators work
properly. In a salt chorine pool, keeping the phosphates low is the
secret to letting the free chlorine flow!
