When only the BEST will do for your salt pool! Ultima Salt System Overview The reasons we started a comprehensive Salt System program: Although salt chlorine generators automate the daily addition of your sanitizer, they alone are not a comprehensive system for keeping your pool water clean, safe, and clear. We wanted our customers to have a clear understanding that they do still use chlorine in their pools. Very often we hear, we don t use chlorine we use salt. Salt chlorine generators continually manufacturer (as long as the proper level of salt is in the pool and the cell is good) sodium hypochlorite which is commonly known as liquid chlorine. We wanted to develop an easy-to-use system that would give our customers a step-by-step program to take optimal care of their salt pools. Ultima is manufactured by Lonza and consists of very high-quality products. All of our Salt System products will be color-coded in purple.
Spring Start-Up or System Start-Up on Existing Pool Open your pool and perform all the usual housekeeping chores: 1. Changing the sand or cleaning the sand (if it wasn t cleaned in the fall) 2. Vacuuming pool to waste if excessively dirty 3. Making sure filter system is up and running without leaks 4. Brushing down the sides and bottom of pool 5. Reinstalling salt cell if it was removed for the winter 6. If the salt cell wasn t cleaned prior to being put away for the winter, we recommend cleaning it before reinstalling with Ultima Power Wash Cell Cleaner. 7. A thorough backwashing of the filter should be performed before adding the Salt System chemicals as some of the chemicals being added will require no backwashing for 48-72 hours.
Spring Start-Up or System Start-Up on Existing Pool PowerWash cell cleaner is a highly concentrated acid that cleans cells quickly. This innovative product removes scale from the salt cell, extending its life and allowing it to operate more efficiently once cleaned. Directions: Add 4-5 gallons of water to a plastic bucket. Carefully add the full bottle of cell cleaner solution to the bucket and stir to mix thoroughly using a plastic or wooden stirrer. Add cleaner to water, NOT water to cleaner. Turn off power to the unit and remove the cell from plumbing, following the manufacturer's instructions. Exposed metal contacts on the unit which connect the electrode to the controller should be completely covered by waterproof tape or other means to prevent the acid in the cleaner from corroding the contacts. (Do not submerge any wiring if it cannot be disconnected from the unit). While wearing gloves and goggles, immerse the electrode unit in the cleaning solution. Signs of effervescence indicate that the cleaner is dissolving scale from the metal electrodes. Leave the electrodes in the cleaning solution until effervescence stops or for 60 minutes. While wearing gloves and goggles, remove the electrode from the cleaning solution and rinse thoroughly with water. Remove any protective covering that was placed on the contacts. Reassemble the electrode into the chlorinator following manufacturer's directions and start the pump. Dispose of spent cleaning solution by pouring into pool with pump on. Wear gloves and goggles while handling the cell cleaning solution. Readjust ph, if needed. Advantage: Extends cell life Clean cells quickly

Spring Start-Up or System Start-Up on Existing Pool Cell Extend scale control is a unique formula that contains enzymes, clarifiers and sequestering agents that work together to extend the life of salt water chlorine generators by preventing scale and oily buildup on the cells. This unique product stops metal staining, clears cloudy water, increases efficiency and reduces phosphates to prolong the life of the cell. Start-up Dosage: Add 16 ounces of product per 10,000 gallons of pool water directly to the skimmer while pump is running. How to Use: Cell Extend should always be added when a pool is initially filled, because fresh water usually contains stain and scale producing minerals such as iron, copper, manganese and calcium. For best results, add the required amount of Cell Extend at the time you start to fill the pool, not after the pool is filled. If water has high iron, copper or manganese content (over 0.1 parts per million (ppm)) double the initial dose. After Cell Extend has been added and the pool is filled, filter and circulate the water at least overnight before adding chlorine or other pool chemicals to allow this product to disperse and work effectively.
Weekly Maintenance Monthly Salt Maintenance Featuring Oxone by DuPont, Salt Solutions by Ultima Monthly Salt Maintenance non-chlorine shock-oxidizer balances pool water for optimal sanitizer effectiveness and oxidizes to remove organic contaminants and restore water clarity.

Features: Helps maintain monthly water balance Oxidizes to remove organic contaminants Restores water clarity Weekly Maintenance: Ideally add 2 lbs. per 20,000 gallons of Monthly Salt Maintenance directly to the skimmer with the pump running.

Most people are far too busy in their daily lives to remember to do this. Through weekly use, this product prevents these deposits/build-up on the salt cell throughout the month - making life easier for you and ultimately making your system work more effectively and efficiently. The Salt Maintenance product may be used monthly if one desires, but when used weekly the pool maintains a sparkle from the clarifier and the oxidizer breaks down any organics that might have entered the pool throughout the week. DO NOT BACKWASH OR CLEAN FILTER FOR AT LEAST 48 HOURS AFTER ADDING. The pressure will come down on its own as product is dissolved in water. NOTE: Do not add more than 4 lbs. at one time. Doing so may clog the skimmer. Advantage: Treats up to 20,000 gallons
