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
fi lter 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 fi ll 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
4.
water for pH, total alkalinity
and 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
fi rst 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 fi lter gauge often and periodically clean
fi lter per the manufacturer’s directions. A dirty fi lter
will slow the fl ow 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.
