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. Check with
your dealer for the proper
circulation time for your
pool.
2.
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: 1.0 – 3.0 ppm
3.
• If your fill water is high in metals, use a sequestering
agent or metal out at pool opening only before inserting a
Pac. Follow manufacturer’s directions.
• Regularly test your water for

pH, total alkalinity and chlorine
and maintain its balance.
• Before beginning,
balance your pool water
using the chart.
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.
