MAINTENANCE
POOL CARE AND CHEMICALS
• All pools require care to keep the water clear and hygienically clean. With
proper chemical control, your filter will help attain this objective. Consult your
pool supply dealer for instructions regarding the proper use of chlorine,
algaecide and other chemical agents required for sparkling clear water.
• Keep pool chemicals away from children.
• Do not replenish chemicals in pool while pool is occupied. Skin or eye irritations
could occur.
• Daily pH checking and chemical treatment of the water is very important and
can not be overemphasized. Chlorine, algaecide and maintenance of proper pH
levels are required when filling the pool as well as during the season. Consult
your local swimming pool supply store for instructions.
• The season's first filling of the pool may have brackish water requiring extra
water additives and extra filter changes. Do not allow swimming in pool until the
pH level is balanced. Consult your local swimming pool supply store for
instructions.
• Keep spare filter cartridges on hand. Replace cartridges every two weeks.
• Chlorinated water may damage lawns, gardens or shrubbery as children play
in the pool and splash water outside the pool. Lawn areas underneath the
pool liner will be destroyed. Note that some types of grass may grow through
the liner.
• Filter run time depends on pool size, weather and usage level. Experiment with
various run times so as to produce clean clear water.
CAUTION
Concentrated chlorine solutions may damage the pool liner. Always
follow the chemical manufacturer’s directions, and the health and
hazard warnings.
