TMI Salt Pure Corporation - The Best Feeling Water

"The Best Feeling Water"

Commercial Customer F.A.Q.s

"During our first season with the Salt Pure® system, we knew right away that this was an excellent way to go. Just the sparkle and shine of our pools alone, was enough to convince me that we had a winner, not to mention the response from our residents. It seems like they just can't say enough about how much they like it. It's just compliment after compliment on how wonderful and enjoyable the pools are to swim in. No more faded bathing suits, no more chlorine smell, no more red eyes or itching skin. Everyone here just loves the Salt Pure system and wouldn't have it any other way!"

1. What will Salt Pure^® water do for my facility? It will save money It will reduce maintenance time It will dramatically improve the "feel" of the water No red eyes ! No itchy skin ! Meets NSF-50 requirement & is approved by ARL, ETL, CSA and CE Only 3,000 PPM salt in water Self cleaning cell It is almost pH neutral Installation is simple Leasing available Monthly payment is 100% expensable before tax dollars Return to Questions 2. How much will it cost to convert to Salt Pure^® Water? Your pool size and use determine the cost of conversion. Fill out our evaluation sheet to receive a detailed bid. Most of the work can be performed in-house by your maintenance staff. The amount of salt required for the initial start-up is based upon your pool gallonage. Return to Questions 3. How much will the Salt Pure^® system cost to run? Very little. The electrical draw is approximately 6 amps per COM-25 (@ 220v). Salt can be purchased in 50 lb. bags and can run anywhere from $3.00 to $11.00 per 50 lbs. depending on where you facility is located and from whom you buy your salt. Salt is not consumed in the process so you will only need to replace salt lost with water loss. (backwashing). Annual salt costs are therefore minimal. Return to Questions 4. What do I have to change in my pump room in order to convert to a Salt Pure ^® system? Nothing. Normally, we are simply adding 3 pieces of equipment. Two in the return line and one on the pump room wall. The complexity of the installation is relative to the size and use of the pool. Return to Questions 5. How difficult is it to install a Salt Pure^® system? We would compare it to installing a pool pump. A typical dual COM-25 System installation can take two people, two to six hours, including electrical. Larger pools will require more time determined by the number of COM-25’s sized for your pool and may require a by-pass line to be installed after your heater. Return to Questions 6. Is it compatible with my current Automatic Controller? It may be. Depending on how old your Automatic Controller system is, and which model you have. As Salt Pure^® has become more popular we are seeing more controller manufacturers claiming that their systems are compatible. To date, a number of manufacturers state that their systems are compatible. Some older models may have a problem. Return to Questions 7. What kind of maintenance can I expect with my Salt Pure^® system? About 30 – 50% less than you do now. You will continue to test your pool water in the same way as you currently test. To check for Salt content in your water, has a One Touch Salinty Meter. The cell needs to be inspected once or twice per year (depending on your water hardness). This entails removing the cells for a visual inspection only. Return to Questions 8. Is it approved by my Local/ State Health Department? is approved to NSF-50 standards and UL approved . Most states accept these standards. Return to Questions 9. Will I still test my water in the same way? Yes. Return to Questions 10. How much Salt will my pool/spa consume on an ongoing basis? This is directly proportional to the amount of water you backwash to clean your filters. One 75,000 gallon indoor pool reports using around 1 ½ lbs. Per day or one 50 lb. bag every 4 – 5 weeks. Return to Questions 11. What type of salt do I need to use? We recommend 99.9% pure granulated (NACL) salt without additives such as iodine, prussiate of soda (anti-caking agent) or other such additives. Return to Questions 12. Where do I buy my Salt? Salt is usually available at most bulk food distributor outlets; wholesale clubs and other large stores and animal feed stores. Return to Questions 13. How do I test for salt in the water? With the One Button Test on the Power Supply. Return to Questions 14. What chemicals will I continue to use with the Salt Pure^® system? All your water balance chemicals for pH, Total Alkalinity and Calcium Hardness. Return to Questions 15. What is TDS and will I have to continue to dump my water if my Total Dissolved Solids go over 1500 PPM? No, not if the composition of your TDS is based upon the addition of salt to your water for your Salt Pure ^® system. To understand your "true" TDS, subtract your PPM Salt from your TDS. Since the salt required to operate is added directly to the pool water there is a rise in TDS levels; however, obviously, there is no increase in the contaminant levels in the pool. Also, since is a closed loop system (salt is converted to chlorine and reconverted back to salt) the TDS level does not continue to rise as it would in conventionally sanitized pools. The also continuously shocks (burns out, super chlorinates) organics and other contaminants so there is less chance for their buildup. Reference: (The Proper Management of pool and spa water. Hydrotech Chemical Corporation, 1988) Return to Questions 16. Will the Salt Pure^® system cause additional corrosion in my facility? No, it will not.
