POOL CARE GUIDE

SEASON START UP Day 1

1. Test the water you will be using to fill your pool to identify what minerals and chemical factors may require attention later. 2. Check that your pool filter is clean. If it is not, use Filter Cleanse according to label directions. Soak filter overnight for best results. 3. Begin filling the pool. After the pool is filled with several inches of water, add Sequa-Sol® sequestering agent (16 oz./10,000 gall ns) to prevent m er ls in the water from stai ing or damaging pool surfaces. Sequa-Sol® sequestering agent (16 oz./10,000 gallons) to prevent minerals in the water from staining or damaging pool surfaces. 4. As the pool completes filling, add Clear Blue® clarifier (4 oz./10,000 gallons) to clear the water of small particles. Fill pool to the middle of the skimmer or the proper level recommended by the manufacturer. Once filled, start the pump and filtration equipment. Run pool filter overnight or 24 hours if possible. While filter is running, it is a good time to vacuum and remove any debris from the pool. Day 2 1. Add Oxy-Brite® (1 lb.) non-chlorine shock treatment to 10,000 gallons to destroy any contaminants that have accumulated in the water. Test the pH and total alkalinity levels of the pool water with GLB® Four-Way Test Strips or testing kit. Adjust the total alkalinity level to the range of 80–120ppm (parts per million) with Alkalinity Up . Add pH Up or pH Down to adjust pH levels into the POOL 1.

Now begin disinfecting the water by adding GLB® Chlorine or GLB® Bromine Sanitizer to adjust the sanitizer level to the ideal range of 1–4 ppm. Allow water to circulate overnight. Day 3 1. Prevent rapid loss of chlorine due to sunlight by adding GLB® Stabil z r . (Not applicable to bromine pools) 1. Prevent rapid loss of chlorine due to sunlight by adding GLB® Stabilizer .

Rectangular = (length x width x average depth) x 7.5 Round = (length x width x average depth) x 5.9 POOL CARE TIPS To get started, you will need to know the size of your pool. My pool is ___________ gallons. Rectangular = (length x width x average depth) x 7.5 Round = (length x width x average depth) x 5.9 As you care for your pool, it is important for your pool water to be in balance. Keeping water chemically balanced will prevent the water from becoming cor- rosive or forming scale deposits, both of which can damage pool equipment. Your pool water should always range in the following chemistry levels: pH Reading: 7.2–7.8 Total Alkalinity: 80–120 ppm Sanitizer Level: 1–4 ppm When caring for your pool, keep these precautions in mind: • Read product label directions prior to using and use only as directed. • Never add chemicals to the water when people are in the pool. • Never add chemicals through the skimmer system. Instead, add them by pouring in front of a return line or by care- fully walking around the pool to distribute. • Never mix one chemical with another chemical prior to adding to the water. • Store chemicals in a cool and dry location out of direct sunlight. 2. Now begin disinfecting the water by adding GLB® Chlorine or GLB® Bromine Sanitizer to adjust the sanit z r level to the ideal ra g of 1–4 ppm. Allow water to circulat overnight.

1. Clean the filter with Filter Cleanse so it's ready to be used in the spring. 2. Lower the water if you are in an area where water must be lowered du to freezing conditions. Drain all water from pipes, pumps, heaters, filters and ther pool equipm nt to prev nt da age du to freezing. If you are in a mild climate where the pool is left full and uncovered, confirm with the manufactur r's directions i the filtration syst m should continue to opera e. If the filtration system conti ue to operate, regularly add GLB® Sani izer , Algimycin® 2000 and Sequa-So ® sequestering agent.
