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.
