Swimming Pool Tips
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. Before beginning with any pool
care program, you must first balance
your pool water. Take a water sample
to your local pool professional who
will test for the following important
elements.
• Lessworkwithnodailydosing.
• Reduceschlorineuseupto50%.*
• Adoptaneasier,morefunpool
environment.
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
3. If your fill water is high in metals, use a sequestering
agent or metal out at start-up only before using a
mineral reservoir. See your local dealer for details on
using these products and always follow manufacturers’
directions carefully.
REPLACE EVERY 6 MONTHS
OR AFTER ONE POOL SEASON,
WHICHEVER IS SHORTER.
4. After your pool is up and running
smoothly, continue to test your
water for pH, total alkalinity and
chlorine with FROG® Brand Test
Strips and maintain its balance by
adding any necessary adjustment
products (see your dealer for
details).
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.
