CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Sunlight (ultraviolet rays), water and swimming pool chemicals create a harsh environment. To increase
the lifespan of the G3 and hose, you should:

1.

Remove the G3 from the pool before super chlorinating and reinstall it a minimum of four

hours later.

2. Always store the hose straight or in its original box. To prevent memory, 

NEVER 

coil the hose.

(Coiled hose can be straightened with hot water or by laying it on a warm pool deck for several
hours.)

3. If you should develop an algae or chemical imbalance problem, remove the G3, follow the advice of

a qualified pool professional, and reinstall the G3 when the imbalance is corrected.

4.

ALWAYS 

disconnect the hose from the skimmer or vacuum line 

BEFORE 

backwashing your filter.
