PART 7 - Pool and water maintenance during the season
WARNING:
The
filter pump that may be supplied with the pool is designed to remove
dirt and other small particles in the pool water. In order to keep the pool water
completely clear, free of algae and harmful bacteria,
it is very important to perform
consistent chemical treatment of the water
. Ask your local pool supply dealer for
advice on the safe and effective use of chlorine, shock solution, algae chemicals, etc.
WARNING:
To avoid eye irritation or even injury to bathers, as a rule do not apply
chemicals to the pool when it is occupied. As a general rule, do not apply chemicals or
substances to the pool unless you are able to determine the exact amount or type to be
applied to the water. Contact your pool accessory dealer for specific instructions and
policies on the use of pool chemicals.
WARNING:
We strongly recommend that pool owners regularly test their pool water
and maintain optimal pH and chlorine levels for safe and enjoyable swimming
throughout the season. Contact your pool accessory dealer for the appropriate test kit
and instructions for its use.
WARNING:
Failure to observe the maintenance instructions can cause serious health hazards,
especially to children.
This product is a storable seasonal pool. If the pool will not be used year-round in your
area, it is
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you
drain the pool, clean and dry it thoroughly
and store it in a protected area after the season is over. This will prolong the life of the
pool and prevent potential hazards when the pool is not in use. During the season of
use of the pool assembly, the filtration system (if available) should be turned on daily
and left running long enough to filter the entire volume of the pool.
To keep the water in your pool clean and hygienic throughout the season,
please
observe the following guidelines:
1.
It is essential to properly and consistently use basic pool chemicals to maintain the
proper pH balance of the pool points. Using chemicals also prevents the growth of
harmful bacteria or algae in the pool and helps the filter pump keep the water crystal
clear. The chemicals necessary for pool maintenance include, but are not limited to:
a)
Chlorine in tablets
, granules or liquid form: disinfects pool water and reduces
algae growth.
b)
Chemical PH adjusters:
used to maintain the correct PH value and increase or
decrease the acidity of the water.
c)
Anti-algae products:
these chemicals are used to kill algae.
d)
"Shocking solution" (super chlorine):
eliminates certain organic compounds or
other combinations that limit water clarity.
