What Level Should I Set My Chlorinator

We suggest you start your salt chlorine generator at 50 percent output and run it for a couple of days, then check the chlorine level. In a balanced pool, a good chlorine level is 1-3 parts per million. If your chlorine levels are low, you can raise the percentage, and if it’s high you can lower the percentage.

What should I set my automatic chlorinator to?

Reset the control valve dial to the level required to maintain 1-3 ppm of free and available chlorine in your pool.

What should my chlorinator read?

On a Hayward Salt Chlorinator, your salt reading should be between 2,700 – 3,400 PPM (parts per million) with the optimum level of 3,200 PPM.
