Sel Premium Pristiva: the best pool salt for soft and crystal-clear water

Time to read 5 min

Salt pools are gaining popularity year after year. They offer a more pleasant swimming experience, softer water for skin and eyes, and simplified maintenance compared to traditional pools.

However, to fully enjoy the benefits of a salt pool, it is essential to choose a superior quality product. Not all pool salts are the same, and their purity level can directly impact water quality and your chlorine generator’s performance.

This is precisely where Premium Pristiva Salt stands out.

Whether you open your pool in spring, have just filled your basin, or need to restore salinity after a backwash, choosing the right salt is essential to maintain clear, comfortable, and perfectly balanced water.


Why is choosing pool salt important?

Salt is the raw material used by your salt chlorine generator. Through a process called electrolysis, the system transforms the salt dissolved in the water into chlorine to ensure continuous pool disinfection.

Salt quality directly influences:

Chlorine generator performance.

Water quality.

Maintenance frequency.

Equipment lifespan.

Salt containing more impurities can cause:

Deposit buildup in the generator cell.

Less clear water.

Increased maintenance needs.

Premature equipment wear.

To achieve the best possible results, it is recommended to use a salt specially designed for salt pools, such as Premium Pristiva Salt.

The benefits of Sel Premium Pristiva

Soft and comfortable water

One of the main reasons owners choose a salt pool is swimming comfort.

Thanks to its high purity, Sel Premium Pristiva helps create water that is:

  1. Softer on the skin.
  2. More comfortable for the eyes.
  3. More pleasant for hair.

Result:

  1. Clear water.
  2. Better clarity.
  3. Superior visual quality.

A clean and inviting pool always starts with well-balanced water.

Better protection for your salt generator

The chlorine generator represents a significant investment.

When salt contains contaminants or unwanted minerals, these can promote:

Deposits in the cell.

Scaling.

A decrease in chlorine production.

More frequent maintenance needs.

Thanks to its low impurity content, Sel Premium Pristiva helps keep your equipment in excellent condition longer.

Consistent quality

Each bag of Sel Premium Pristiva is made according to high standards to offer consistent quality.

This way, you get a reliable product that helps maintain the salinity level recommended by your chlorine generator's manufacturer.

When should you add salt to a pool?

Unlike chlorine, salt does not evaporate. However, several situations may require adding salt.

When opening the pool

After winter, the salt level may be below the recommendations of your generator's manufacturer.

A water analysis then determines the necessary amount.

After a complete filling

When the pool is refilled with fresh water, enough salt must be added to reach the recommended salinity level.

After a significant water loss

Adding salt is often necessary after:

  1. A backwash.
  2. A partial drain.
  3. A leak.
  4. A repair.
  5. A significant water replacement.

Since salt leaves the pool with drained water, it must be replaced to maintain optimal generator operation.

What is the ideal salt level in a pool?

Each chlorine generator has its own recommendations.

In most cases, systems operate with a salinity level between:

3,000 to 4,000 ppm

It is always recommended to consult your generator’s manual to confirm the optimal value.

A level that is too low can reduce chlorine production.

A level that is too high can cause error messages or harm the operation of certain equipment.

How much Pristiva Premium Salt should be added?

The required amount depends on:

The volume of pool water.

The current salt level.

The desired salt level.

Frequently asked questions about Pristiva Premium Salt

Why does Pristiva Premium Salt cost more than some salts sold at Costco or Canac?

The price of pool salt depends not only on its weight but especially on its purity and manufacturing quality.

The Pristiva Premium Salt is specially designed for pools equipped with a salt chlorine generator. It contains a very low amount of impurities such as iron, phosphates, sulfates, and organic contaminants that can affect water quality and equipment performance.

A premium salt can help:

  • Maintain clearer, crystal-clear water.
  • Reduce deposit buildup in the generator cell.
  • Optimize chlorine production.
  • Reduce maintenance needs.
  • Protect equipment long-term.

Although the initial cost may be slightly higher, many pool owners find that the benefits in water quality, swimming comfort, and equipment protection more than justify the investment.

Why pay more for Pristiva Premium Salt?

Because pool salt is not just salt.

Pristiva Premium Salt is made to high purity standards to provide softer, clearer water and better protection for your salt generator. A less refined product may contain more impurities that increase pool maintenance and reduce equipment performance.

When you invest several thousand dollars in a pool and salt generator, choosing a premium salt is often a wise investment to protect this equipment and enjoy a better swimming experience.

Can you put too much salt in a saltwater pool?

Yes. Too high a salt level can cause reading errors on the generator and affect the operation of some equipment. That’s why it’s recommended to measure salinity before adding salt and to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for your chlorine generator.

What is the difference between Pristiva Premium Salt and regular pool salt?

Pristiva Premium Salt is known for its high purity and low levels of impurities such as iron, phosphates, sulfates, and organic contaminants. This superior quality promotes clearer water, better chlorine generator performance, and simplified maintenance.
