What is Poolsel swimming pool salt?
Poolsel is swimming pool salt used for generating chlorine through salt electrolysis. In a pool with a saltwater system, the electrolysis cell converts the dissolved salt (sodium chloride) into a small amount of active chlorine. This chlorine kills bacteria and algae, keeping the water clear and hygienic, without the need to use liquid chlorine or chlorine tablets.
Poolsel is a refined sea salt of very high purity with a low sulfate content. It contains no additives and is completely iodine-free. The salt dissolves quickly and leaves no residue in the pump or the pool. In addition to swimming pools, Poolsel is also suitable for spas with a saltwater system.

How much Poolsel swimming pool salt do I need?
The standard guideline at the start of the swimming season is approximately 4 kg of Poolsel per 1,000 liters (1 m³) of pool water. The exact dosage may vary depending on the brand of salt electrolysis device, so always check your system's manual.
When should you add salt?
You fill the pool at the start of the season to the correct salt concentration. During the season, salt is lost due to dilution with rainwater, backwashing, and refilling with fresh water. Therefore, regularly check the salt level and replenish if necessary.

How to use pool salt
- Check the recommended concentration of your salt chlorinator in the manual.
- Calculate the required amount based on your pool volume in m³.
- Evenly sprinkle the salt over the water surface, preferably not directly above the skimmer or the electrolytic cell.
- Run the pump so the salt fully dissolves and distributes through the water.
- Only activate the salt chlorinator once the salt is completely dissolved.
