P ART7-IN-SEASON POOL
MAINTENANCE AND WA TER CARE
This product is designed to be storable, seasonal pools. If you live in a temperate area in which the pool will not be in use
year-round, it is STRONGL Y RECOMMENDED that you drain your pool, clean and dry it thoroughly , and store it in a protected
area for the off-season. This will help extend the life of your pool and prevent a safety hazard from developing while the pool is
not in use. During the season of use of the pool kit, the ltration system (if applicable) must be put into service each day , long
enough to ensure at least a complete renewal of the volum of water .
In order to keep your pool water clean and hygienic all season long please closely adheres to the follow-
ing guidelines:
1. The proper and consistent use of basic pool chemicals are required to maintain the proper pH balance in your pool water .
Furthermore, the application of chemicals will help prevent the growth of harmful bacteria or algae in your pool, and assist your
lter-pump in keeping your water crystal clear . Chemicals that your pool may require include but are not limited to:
1) T abular , Granular , or Liquid Chlorine: Disinfects pool water and inhibits algae growth.
2) PH Adjusting Chemicals: These are used to correct PH level and make water more or less acidic.
3) Algaecides: These chemicals are formulated to remove algae.
4) “Shock” (Super chlorinator): Eliminates certain organic and other combination compounds that can affect water clarity .
In order to obtain specic details on the use of chemicals, please consult a local pool supply retailer and provide them with
the volume of water in your specic pool, and if desired, a sample of your pool water . This will enable them to properly instruct
you on: 1) which chemicals to purchase, 2) what quantities of chemicals to purchase, and 3) how to use specic chemicals
safely and effectively .
2. Never let chlorine come into direct contact with the pool liner until it has completely dissolved. This means that granular or
tabulated chlorine is rst dissolved in a bucket of water before applying to pool water , and likewise, liquid chlorine is slowly and
evenly poured into pool water from various locations around perimeter of pool.
DANGER: NEVER add water to chemicals. INSTEAD, always add chemicals to water . Also, never mix separate chemicals
together , rather , add chemicals to the pool separately and allow them to circulate throughout the pool before adding additional
types of chemicals.
3.We recommend that you purchase a test kit, and frequently test your pool water to make sure that your PH balance and
chlorine levels are optimal. Y our local pool supply retailer can provide information on purchasing and using a test kit that is
most suitable for your needs. NOTE: Excessive chlorine levels or low (acidic) pH levels can damage your pool liner , so please
take corrective action as soon as possible if testing reveals either condition.
The tasks of removing larger debris from your pool and keeping the inside of the pool liner clean are simplied by using a
Prompt Set Pool Maintenance Kit, which includes a leaf skimmer and garden hose powered vacuum. Maintenance Kits are
included as a bonus feature in larger pool systems, and can also be purchased separately as an accessory .Please contact

your local after sale service center if you want to get advice on any repair during the life of the pool kit.
4. If applicable, check your lter-pump cartridge every two weeks (or more frequently during periods of heavy usage) to verify whether
it needs to be cleaned or replaced. If your cartridge is no longer white in color , attempt to spray it clean with a strong blast of water from
your garden hose. If your cartridge cannot be cleaned in this manner , the cartridge must be replaced. Failure to frequently clean and/
or replace your cartridges will af fect the effectiveness of your lter pump and could shorten its useful life.
5. If your pool system included a cover , try to keep your pool covered at all times when not in use. This will help keep the wind and other
elements from depositing dirt and debris in your pool, and will also prevent excess rainwater from overlling your pool.
6. Remind your family and friends to always hose or rinse off any dirt or tanning oil from their hands, feet, and body prior to entering
the pool.
7. It’s necessary to monitor the bolts and hardware of the pool (eg. rust stain) when possible.
8. Once your pool has been lled with water for the season, take note if your pool becomes overlled due to rainwater or accidental
overll. If this should occur , it is important to drain or bale out the excess water as soon as possible. If it is an inatable ring pool, the
water level should never be higher than the bottom edge of the inatable ring.
