POOL MAINTENANCE
SPRINGTIME CLEANING OF YOUR POOL
PREPARING YOUR POOL IN THE SPRING CONTINUED
d. When the pH and alkaline levels are ideal, apply a shock-treatment or chlorinate your
water. Let it filter for 24 hours and again verify both the pH and free chlorine l evels.
NOTE: Add chemical products to your pool after sunset, as sunlight
rapidly destroys chlorine.
e. Let it filter for several days until the water is clear and the pH and
free chlorine levels have stabilized. Add a conditioner/stabilizer
by carefully following the manufacturer’s instructions. This
will stop the chlorine from evaporating quickly in sunlight.
Add the quantity of algicide required to prevent algae.
f. You may now begin regular maintenance of your pool.
Don’t forget to obtain a new set of solutions for your
water analysis kit every spring. The old solutions may
give false results.
g. Make sure that the skimmer (screws and adapter)
is properly in place and tighten the water return
fittings to prevent leakage and premature rusting
of the pool wall or the lower part of the bottom
rail.
