5. IN-SEASON POOL MAINTENANCE & WATER CARE
Keep your pool water clean, hygienic, and safe for swimming by strictly following all of the guidelines below:
A. THE USE OF CHEMICALS (SUCH AS CHLORINE, PH STABILIZER, and ALGECIDE, ETC)
IS REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN THE PROPER CHLORINE AND pH BALANCE IN YOUR
POOL WATER AND TO PREVENT THE GROWTH OF HARMFUL BACTERIA OR ALGAE.
For specific details on the use of chemicals, please provide a local pool supply retailer with the water capacity of your
pool (reference chart on inside flap of your pool box) and, if possible, bring them a sample of your water. They will identify
the appropriate chemicals for your needs and educate you on their safe and effective use. NOTE FOR THOSE USING
WELL WATER IN POOL: It is strongly recommended that you have a water sample analyzed by a pool expert before
adding any chemicals.
B. Chlorinate your pool by dissolving granular or tabulated chlorine into a bucket of water and then
slowly and evenly distributing the chlorine solution into the pool. You can also use liquid chlorine
or a floating chlorinator. If you do use a chlorinator, make sure it floats properly on the surface or
that it is tied securely. NEVER drop clumps or tablets of chlorine (or any other chemical) directly
into your pool. This may present a hazard to swimmers and/or damage your pool. DO NOT drop
chlorine tabs directly into your filter pump as they will not dissolve properly and may damage your
pump.
C. Use a test kit to frequently monitor the pH and chlorine levels in your pool. A suitable test kit can
generally be purchased anywhere pools are sold. NOTE: High chlorine levels or low (acidic) pH
levels can damage your pool liner. If testing reveals either condition, you should quickly take
corrective action. Consult a qualified pool professional, retailer, or chemicals manufacturer for
details on chemicals.
D. Simplify the removal of larger debris and sedimentation from your pool by using a Simple-Set
Maintenance Kit. The kit includes a leaf skimmer and garden hose powered vacuum, and can be
purchased as an accessory through many retailers. For your convenience, it is also included with
many larger-size pools as a bonus item.
E. Inspect your filter-pump cartridge at least once a week and rinse it off with a strong blast of
water if necessary. When this method does not satisfactorily clean the filter cartridge, replace it
with a new one. NOTE: Improper filter cartridge maintenance will reduce the effectiveness of your
filter pump and could shorten its useful life.
F. Tips to help prevent dirt and grime from getting into your pool:
1) Remind bathers to always rinse their bodies of any dirt, grime or tanning oil prior to entering the
pool.
2) Keeping your pool covered at all times when it is not in use is highly recommended. This will
help prevent wind and other elements from depositing dirt and debris in your pool.
6. DRAINING & STORING YOUR POOL
IMPORTANT: NEVER leave the pool exposed to temperatures of 40 F/ 5C or below, as this will ruin it. If the pool cannot be
used year-round, you should STORE it as soon as the swimming season ends, and always well in advance of sustained cold or
inclement weather.
STEP 1 - Draining your Pool:
A. Make sure your filter pump cord is unplugged.
B. Securely close both pump fixtures with the plugs attached to the inner pool wall. Then disconnect
the filter pump hoses.
C. Enter your pool and verify that the rubber drain plug is still securely inside the drain valve.
D. Attach your hose adapter to the female end of a garden hose. Place the other end of the hose in an
area safe for water drainage, such as a storm drain or street gutter.
