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 but function is not affected.

•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.
