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.
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.
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
4.
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).
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.
