EASY POOL MAINTENANCE TIPS

Follow these pool maintenance tips to ensure that your pool is pristine:

Daily Care
Test Pool Water for Sanitizer Level
Make certain alkalinity and pH are in balance. Unbalanced pools can affect water clarity, damage pool equipment, cause
erosion and even alter water chemistry.

Add Chlorine or Bromine
Sanitizing your pool is like sterilizing your pool. This kills bacteria, algae and any other living forms in the water. Almost all swimming pools
in the United States are disinfected by chlorine or bromine in one form or another.

Adjust pH and Alkalinity levels
Balancers can help maintain the proper pH and alkalinity levels necessary in a pool. This will get rid of cloudy or irritating water and save expensive equipment.

Check Skimmer Basket
Clear debris from skimmer basket to help keep pool water circulating and fresh.

Weekly Care
Shock Pool Water
Weekly shock treatments are necessary to destroy combined chlorine compounds. Shocks sanitize pool water and quickly raise the chlorine level.

Add Algaecide
Add a weekly dosage of algaecide to prevent and control algae. Good algaecide should kill algae without damaging or staining your pool.

Add Metal Out
Even the best maintained pools have tiny suspended particles that can escape the filtration system. Add a weekly dosage of Metal Out to eliminate metal particles.

Add Clarifier
Add a weekly dosage of clarifier to prevent cloudy water. Clarifiers are used to remove particles from the pool that are too small to
be caught in the filter system. Clarifying agents will cause these particles to cling to each other making them larger, so they can be
removed from your water through vacuuming or filtration.
