Here’s a guide for ideal water parameters and adjustments to help you achieve perfect balance, with a focus on Zodiac salt chlorinator systems. Parameter Australian Standard Ideal Reading/Range How to Increase How to Decrease Testing Frequency (Peak Season) Free Chlorine (ppm) 1 – 3 1 – 3 Add chlorine or increase equipment output N/A Weekly pH 7.2 – 7.8 7.5 Add buffer or soda ash (sodium carbonate) Add muriatic acid Weekly Total Alkalinity (ppm) 80 – 300 80 – 140 Add sodium bicarbonate Add muriatic or dry acid Weekly Calcium Hardness (ppm) 90 – 300 90 – 300 Add calcium chloride Partially drain & refill pool Weekly Cyanuric Acid (ppm) 30 – 50 50 Add cyanuric acid Partially drain & refill pool Weekly Salt Level (ppm) 4000 – 7000 4000 ppm at 27ºC Add salt Partially drain & refill pool Monthly Guidelines for Adjustments Free Chlorine: To raise chlorine levels, add chlorine directly or adjust your equipment’s output. pH: Increase pH by adding buffer or soda ash; reduce pH with muriatic acid for proper balance. Total Alkalinity: Use sodium bicarbonate to raise alkalinity or muriatic/dry acid to lower it. Calcium Hardness: Adjust by adding calcium chloride, or reduce by partially draining and refilling the pool if levels are too high. Cyanuric Acid: Increase with cyanuric acid and decrease by partially draining and refilling. Salt Level: Check monthly. Add salt as needed, or drain and refill if levels are high. Regular monitoring and adjustment following this table will keep your pool within optimal parameters, enhancing the effectiveness of your Zodiac salt chlorinator for a clean, comfortable swimming environment. Maintenance Guide For regions with high calcium hardness, periodic cleaning of the electrode is recommended to ensure optimal performance. Use a Salt Chlorinator Cell Cleaner or a 1:10 solution of hydrochloric acid to water, and always follow local disposal guidelines for the cleaning solution to protect the environment.
