Move along the horizontal line until you reach your climate zone. Go down to determine the amount of chlorine you require (g/hr) Always allow an extra 10-20% (if your budget allows for it). In commercial installations, allow at least 100% extra. Recommended Levels To Ensure Optimal Operation: For a sparkling clean and healthy pool, test water weekly during summer and maintain these ideal levels for the FreeFlo Salt Chlorinators: Parameter Ideal Range (FreeFlo 35RP) How to Increase How to Decrease Testing Frequency (Peak Season) Free Chlorine (ppm) 1.5 – 2.0 Increase output of chlorinator. Add chlorine. Increase filtration time N/A Weekly pH 7.2 – 7.4 Add buffer or soda ash (Sodium Carbonate) Add Muriatic Acid Weekly Total Alkalinity (ppm) 90 – 150 Add Sodium Bicarbonate Add Muriatic or Dry Acid Weekly Calcium Hardness (ppm) 200 – 400 Add Calcium Chloride Partially drain & refill pool Weekly Cyanuric Acid (ppm) 40 – 65 Add Cyanuric Acid Partially drain & refill pool Regularly Salt Level (ppm) 3500 – 4500 (optimal 4000) Add salt (~20kg per 5000L) Partially drain & refill pool Regularly Notes: Turn off the chlorinator before adding salt to avoid overload damage (this will void warranty). Manually add chlorine on initial startup or after high bather load, as the unit maintains—not builds—chlorine levels.
