• For the first week test the
pool water daily for free chlorine
ensure correct dial setting.
Continue to test weekly throughout
the season.

• After each testing, adjust the dial
up by 1/2 increment if the free
chlorine reading has dropped
below 0.5 ppm or adjust down by
1/2 increment if the reading has
risen above 1.0 ppm. Continue this
process each day until the free
chlorine reading stabilizes to at
least 0.5 ppm.
• Shock pool every two weeks or as
needed to maintain water quality. Follow

• Remember to adjust dial ONLY by 1/2 setting per day in
order to prevent over chlorination which may bleach pool
surfaces.
Find your starting dial setting by matching up the
parameters of your pool on the above chart. An In
ground pool with approximately 18,000 gallons with a
1 horse pump running 12 hours a day would require a
starting setting of 3.5. See example at right.
