Swimming Pool Tips

Start-up and Yearly Maintenance

1.

• Make sure the pool has adequate circulation. The pool

water must completely circulate through the pump and
filter at least 1 to 2 times per day. This usually requires 8
to 12 hours. Check with your dealer for the proper circulation
time for your pool.

2.

3.

• If your fill water is high in metals, use a sequestering agent

or metal out product at start-up only before using the POOL
FROG® Mineral Reservoir. See your local dealer for details
on using these products and always follow manufacturers
directions carefully.

•After your pool is up and running

smoothly, continue to test your
water for pH, total alkalinity and

4.

chlorine and maintain its balance
by adding any necessary
adjustment products (see your
dealer for details).

• Before beginning with any pool care program, you must

first balance your pool water. Take a water sample to your
local pool professional or use a complete test kit that will
test for the following important elements.

Water Balance Guidelines

pH: 7.2 – 7.8
Total Alkalinity: 60 – 120 ppm
Calcium Hardness: 150 – 400
Total Dissolved Solids: <1500
Stabilizer: 20 – 80 ppm
Free Chlorine: 0.5 – 1.0 ppm

5.

• Check the pool's filter gauge often and periodically clean

filter per the manufacturer's directions. A dirty filter will slow
the flow of water which could hamper proper circulation.

Start-up and Operation

1.

2.

• Add a stabilizer or conditioner to

the pool at the beginning of the
season if the stabilizer level is below
20 ppm. This will prevent chlorine
burn off. Follow manufacturer’s
directions carefully.

• Shock the pool with chlorine to rid

the water of all contaminants before
beginning with POOL FROG

®

XL
PRO. Follow manufacturer's directions
carefully.

• THIS STEP IS VERY IMPORTANT

TO START-UP.
USE CHLORINE SHOCK ONLY.
