REMEMBER TO:
•
Protect all pool occupants from possible water-related illnesses by keeping the pool water clean and
sanitized. Do not swallow the pool water. Always practice good hygiene.
•
Keep your pool clean and clear. The pool floor must be visible at all times from the outside barrier of the pool.
•
Keep children away from pool covers to avoid entanglement, drowning, or other serious injury.
WATER MAINTENANCE
The maintenance of a proper water balance through appropriate use of sanitizers is the single most
important factor in maximizing the life and appearance of the liner as well as ensuring clean, healthy
and safe water. Proper technique is important for water testing and treating the pool water. See your
pool professional for chemical, test kits and testing procedures. Be sure to read and follow the written
instructions from the chemical manufacturer.
1. Never let chlorine come in contact with the liner if it is not completely dissolved. Dissolve granular or tablet
chlorine first in a bucket of water, then add it to the pool water.
Likewise with liquid chlorine; mix it immediately and thoroughly with the pool water.
2. Never mix chemicals together. Add the chemicals to the pool water separately.
Thoroughly dissolve each chemical before adding another one to the water.
3. Do not use a pressure washer to clean the pool.
