The Pristiva System Application and Dosage
The Pristiva 3-Step System replaces all other salts and blended mineral salts and can be used in all pools.
Step 1: Pristiva Premium Salt
- Determine the desired salinity level for your electrolytic chlorine generator
- Calculate the quantity of Pristiva Premium Salt to achieve that salinity level in your volume of water
- For reference: 1 bag of Pristiva Premium Salt will achieve approximately 450 ppm in 10,000 gallons or 38,000 litres
Step 2: Pristiva Primer
- Initially, add 1 bottle of Pristiva Primer for each 10,000 to 13,000 gallons or 40,000 to 50,000 litres
- This initial dosage would be applied when a pool is freshly filled or after any significant addition of fresh water (ie. spring opening)
- Monthly Maintenance, add 1 bottle of Pristiva Primer for each 20,000 to 26,000 gallons or 80,000 – 100,000 litres
- For pools less than 10,000 gallons or 40,000 litres, add the full bottle but extend the time before reapplying proportionately
Step 3: Pristiva Premium Shock
- Initially, add 1 bottle of Pristiva Premium Shock per 20,000 gallons or 80,000 litres
- Monthly Maintenance, add 1 bottle of Pristiva Premium Shock per 20,000 gallons or 80,000 litres
- Always apply Pristiva Premium Shock immediately after the addition of Pristiva Primer
Maintenance of your salt water pool
- Salt levels should be checked monthly to ensure they are within the range suggested by your ECG manufacturer. When salt is needed, use highest quality Pristiva Premium Salt
- Pristiva Primer should be added initially and then once per month thereafter, as long as the pool is open
- Following each application of Pristiva Primer, add Pristiva Premium Shock
