Swimming pool maintenance
- Check the metallic structure, the corrosion points possible, and check that the liner hasn't got any leak of water.
- Don 't fill the pool to the brim in order to avoid the water overflow during the bathe. Fill up the pool with water until 10 cm underneath the pool
edge.
- Don't leave the pool without water.
- Don't lie down or walk on the superior edge of the pool.
Water care
1) To start – Chemical products Please read carefully the label and follow the chemical products manufacturer instructions. WARNING: Keep the chemical products
in a clean, dry and out of children place
- First filling : Analyse the pH and the water chlorine (Cl) and adjust them at optimal levels (pH : 7,2 - 7,6 ; Chlore : 0,5 – 2 ppm)
- Chlorine treatments : Consist in increasing the chlorine level until approximatively 20ppm to eliminate germs and seaweeds. This process has to be done only
when the water of the pool comes from rivers or ponds,... ... ... or if it stayed a long time without any treatments.
- Checking : Check at least once a week the chlorine levels. In the same way, we advise to add algicid to avoid them to appear.
- Warning : Never have a swim before the chlorine level stabilization. Make sure the pool water level is correct.
Do always use a floating dispenser for the chemical product (tablets) dissolution. The chemical product measuring out has to be done in accordance with : Your
pool water volume, the bathe frequency, the climatic conditions, the water temperature and the location. Do always move the water and wait for the chemical product
dissolution before adding another one. Wait approximatively 12 hours between any pH, chlorine or algicid adjustment using the filter system.
2) Water treatment - Mechanical measures :Check the filter, the skimmer, the valves and the pipes are well connected to the pool. Switch on the filter system
once a day in to insure a complete water volume renewal and never do it when somebody is in the pool (see filter manual). Do consider high water temperature
will involved more time for the filtering. Theoretic filtering time = Water volume / Filter system discharge (generally 8h/day with water temperature of 21°C), (Ideal :
2h in the morning – 4h around midday – 2h in the afternoon). PLEASE RESPECT THE CONTINUOUS WORKING PERIOD INDICATED IN THE FILTER MANUALS
-Bottom cleaner for exhaustion (manual or automatic) : Only for pools with skimmer. Connect an hose extremity to the brush head and immerse it into the
water to make it fill in. Connect the other pipe extremity to the exhaustion adapter (TA) and place it above the skimmer basket. Switch on the filter in the FILTER
position and begin to clean the bottom.
-Bottom cleaner Ventury style : Connect a garden hose to the bottom cleaner join and introduce it into the pool. Open the tap until a normal pressure to make
the water flow out against the bottom of the pool, producing in that way an ascendant stream which leave the dirt into the filter (bag) which is adjust on the bottom
cleaner.
PROBLEMS
Cloudy water
Green water
Brown water
Skin and eyes Irritation. Bad smells
WINTERING: Once the bathe season is finished :
Emptying: Withdraw the drain plug from the pool, introduce the coupling into it and connect a hose to the coupling. If the water contains chlorine
or bleach, do not use it for watering plants.
- Empty and dismount the pool
- Dry carefully the metallic parts and smear with grease(lubrificant) or with vaseline the corners and edges in order to protect from corrosion
- Clean the liner, dry it carefully and fold it without too much creases
-Keep it all together (including this instructions) in the same pack of your swimming pool, in a clean and dry place.
CAUSES
Filters deficiencyPH too high
Organic residues excess
Seaweeds and mildew formation
Iron or manganese presence
Unbalanced pH. Organic residues excess
SOLUTIONS
Put back some clean water in the pool, add into the dispenser
flocculant in tablets. Realise a chlorine treatment
Brush carefully the bottom and the steel walls of the pool
Analyse the pH and adjust it Realise a chlorine treatment
Analyse the pH and adjust it Realise a chlorine treatment
Add an algicid and a flocculant
