Why Is Choosing the Right Pool Salt Important?
Salt is the raw material used by your salt chlorine generator. Through a process called electrolysis, the system transforms dissolved salt 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 lead to:
The accumulation of deposits in the generator cell.
Less-clear water.
Increased maintenance requirements.
Premature equipment wear.
To achieve the best possible results, it is recommended to use a salt specifically designed for saltwater pools, such as Pristiva Premium Salt.

The benefits of Pristiva Premium Salt
Soft and comfortable water
One of the main reasons pool owners choose a saltwater pool is swimming comfort.
Thanks to its high purity, Pristiva Premium Salt helps create water that is:
- Gentler on the skin.
- More comfortable for the eyes.
- More pleasant for the hair.
- Less irritating than traditional chlorine treatments.
Many pool owners even describe the sensation as comparable to that of a spa.
Crystal-clear water
Clear water depends not only on the filtration system. Salt quality also plays an important role.
Thanks to its high level of purity, Pristiva Premium Salt allows the generator to produce chlorine efficiently and consistently.
"Crystal-clear water doesn't happen by chance. It starts with the right salt."
Result:
- Clear water.
- Better clarity.
- 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 undesirable minerals, they can contribute to:
Deposits in the cell.
Scaling.
A decrease in chlorine production.
More frequent maintenance needs.
Thanks to its low impurity content, Pristiva Premium Salt helps keep your equipment in excellent condition for longer.
Consistent quality
Each bag of Pristiva Premium Salt is manufactured according to high standards to provide consistent quality.
This gives you a reliable product that makes it easier to maintain the salinity level recommended by your chlorine generator's manufacturer.
When should salt be added 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 lower than the recommendations of your generator's manufacturer.
A water analysis can then determine the amount needed.
After a complete refill
When the pool is filled with fresh water, enough salt must be added to reach the recommended salinity level.
After a significant loss of water
Salt often needs to be added after:
- Backwashing.
- A partial draining.
- A leak.
- A repair.
- A significant water replacement.
Because salt leaves the pool with discharged water, it must be replaced to maintain optimal generator operation.
What is the ideal salt level in a swimming pool?
Each chlorine generator has its own recommendations.
In most cases, systems operate with a salinity level between:
3,000 and 4,000 ppm
You should always consult your generator's manual to confirm the optimal level.
A level that is too low can reduce chlorine production.
A level that is too high can trigger error messages or interfere with the operation of certain equipment.
How much Pristiva Premium Salt should be added?
The required amount depends on:
The pool's water volume.
The current salt level.
The desired salt level.
