CHEMICALS
AS A GENERAL RULE OF THUMB, YOU SHOULD CHECK YOUR CHEMICALS ONCE A WEEK
YOU SHOULD INCREASE CHECKING AS TEMPERATURE OR USE INCREASES
NEVER SPREAD GRANULAR CHLORINE OVER COLORED POOLS WITHOUT DISOLVING IT FIRST
CHLORINE
- WE RECOMMEND USE OF A AUTOMATIC CHLORINE FEEDER OR A SALT CHLORINE GENERATOR TO CHLORINATE, SOFTEN WATER, AND LESSEN RED EYE
- IF YOU DID NOT PURCHASE A CHLORINE FEEDER GENERATOR, USE LIQUID CHLORINE TO SHOCK AND MAINTAIN WITH TABLETS
- WE STRONGLY DISCOURAGE USE OF GAS CHLORINE AS IT CAN SHORTEN THE LIFE OF THE INTERIOR FINISH IF PH IS NOT MONITERED CLOSELY
PH
- CHECK AS OFTEN AS CHLORINE, USE ONLY POOL MURATIC ACID TO LOWER pH
- NEVER ADD MORE THAN ONE QUART OF ACID AT A TIME
TOTAL ALKINALITY
- CHECK AS OFTEN AS ACID AND CHLORINE
CYANURIC ACID
- STABILIZER, CONDITIONER ARE OTHER NAMES FOR THIS
- THIS CHEMICAL HELPS IMPROVE THE EFFICIENCY OF THE CHLORINE
- CONTINUED USE OF STABILIZED TABLETS AND OR GRANULAR WILL BUILD UP TOO MUCH STABILIZER
- WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THEORETICALLY CHLORINE BECOMES INEFFECTIVE AND THE ONLY CORRECTION IS TO DRAIN ½ OF THE POOL’S WATER
CALCIUM
- NEEDED TO MAINTAIN THE PLASTER, TOO MUCH CALCIUM BUILDS UP ON THE TILE
METALS
- CHECK EVERY SIX MONTHS UNLESS YOU HAVE A WELL, THEN CHECK MONTHLY
WELL WATER OFTEN CONTAINS METALS THAT CAN CREATE STAINING
