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.

57CD

CAUTION

Concentrated chlorine solutions may damage the pool liner. Always follow the chemical manufacturer’s directions, and the health and hazard warnings.

LONG TERM STORAGE

Before emptying your pool for long term storage, or relocation, be sure the water is directed towards an acceptable drain water receptacle away from the house. Check local regulations for specific directions regarding disposal of swimming pool water.

. Now, drain the pool.

When the pool is empty, disconnect all pool hoses

GENERAL AQUATIC SAFETY

Water recreation is both fun and therapeutic. However, it involves inherent risks of injury and death. To reduce your risk of injury, read and follow all product, package and package insert warnings and instructions. Remember, however, that product warnings, instructions and safety guidelines cover some common risks of water recreation, but do not cover all risks and dangers.

• Demand constant supervision. A competent adult should be appointed as a “lifeguard” or water watcher, especially when children are in and around the pool.

• Learn to swim.

• Take the time to learn CPR and first aid.

• Instruct anyone who is supervising pool users about potential pool hazards and about the use of protective devices such as locked doors, barriers, etc.

• Instruct all pool users, including children what to do in case of an emergency.

• Always use common sense and good judgement when enjoying any water activity.

• Supervise, supervise, supervise.
