• Test for pH at least twice a week. Broadcast (i.e. pour chemical
into current) pH increaser or pH decreaser to maintain levels be-
tween 7.4-7.8.
Weekly:
• Test for total alkalinity (TA) once a week. Slug (i.e. pour chem-
ical in 4 spots around pool with water calm) TA increaser or pH
decreaser to maintain levels between 80-120ppm. If TA is too
high, it is usually not necessary to decrease as it merely serves as
a buffer for the pH and will not cause damage in the pool.
• Test for total chlorine (TC) once a week. If the test for TC yields
a result that is signicantly higher than level of FC (i.e. the solu-
tion gets noticeably pinker) then you have a signicant amount
of combined chlorine (CC) in the pool water. Combined chlorine
generates a heavy chlorine odor, and can cause bather discomfort
in the form of eye and skin irritation. If you have signicantly
more total chlorine than you do free chlorine, then it is time to
shock the pool (i.e. add enough chlorine to get the FC between
3-5ppm, but don’t swim until FC falls below 3ppm). Shocking
the pool should burn off the combined chlorine.
Every two weeks:
• Test for calcium hardness (CH) once every two weeks. Dissolve
calcium hardness increaser (i.e. ll a 5-gallon bucket with pool
water and dissolve calcium in bucket) then pour the solution into
the current to keep levels between 175-250 ppm. If CH is too
high, it can only be decreased by adding water with less calcium
(i.e. softened water).
• If you have an outdoor pool, or if you use stabilized chlorine (i.e.
sodium dichlor or sodium trichlor), test the cyanuric acid (CYA)
level every two weeks. Maintain levels between 20-50 ppm. If
CYA is above 80 ppm, the pool should be partially drained and
relled, or un-stabilized chlorine should be temporarily used in
place of the stabilized. If CYA is above 100ppm, the pool should
be partially drained and relled.
Every two months:
• Remove and clean the lter that is located inside your pool.
First, turn the Water Quality System off by pressing and holding
the 1 Key (see section Keypad Functions) until the display reads,
“OFF.” Then remove the cylindrical lter cage from the lter
body. Grab the lter inside and unthread it from the lter body.
Once out, the lter can be cleaned by simply rinsing it off or by
using a lter-specic detergent. If your lter is being cleaned
with a detergent, then remove the Nature 2 from the cartridge.
Insert the cleaned lter back into the lter body and thread into
place. Reinstall the lter cage over the cartridge. The circulation
pump will automatically turn back on after 30 minutes.
• After several uses the cartridges will have to be replaced. Re-
placement cartridges can be purchased on our Customer Service
website, www.myendlesspool.com.
Every four months:
• Remove the Nature 2 cartridge located in your skimmer/lter,
discard, and install a new one. Because this needs to be done ev-
ery four months, it is best to coordinate this around the cleaning
of your lter cartridges (see “Every two months” above). New
Nature 2 cartridges can be purchased on our customer website,
www.myendlespool.com.
Annually
• Have a licensed electrician make sure that all the electrical
connections are tight and secure.
As Needed:
• Clean the water line around the perimeter of the pool and the
underside of the cover as needed. Body oils and mold may build
up slowly in these areas and should be cleaned off periodically.
• If you have an outdoor pool, you may need to remove front grill
(from where the swim current is generated) with a Phillips-head
screwdriver and clean as necessary. Reinstall grill before restart-
ing machine. The StreamLine Pool must not be operated with
this front grill removed.
• If you happen to get cloudy water, or if the liner feels slippery, it
likely means that you have algae in the pool. A vinyl liner pool
brush and pole may be purchased in order to wipe down all the
surfaces in the pool, Increasing free chlorine level temporarily to
5 ppm will help, as will maintaining the free chlorine level in
the pool at 3 ppm until the water is clear. Test the chlorine level
frequently during this time.
6. Draining the Streamline Pool
1. Disconnect electrical power to all pool equipment.
2. Begin to drain down pool water by placing a suitable sump
pump in the pool, or by setting up a siphon using a garden hose.
If using a siphon, two or more hoses may be used simultaneous-
ly in order to expedite the process.
3. Continue draining pool until 6” (15cm) of water is remaining.
Do not drain further than this as the liner needs this much water
in order to be held stretched out and in place. If you are leaving
the water like this for an extended period of time, add chlorine
and possibly an algaecide in order to minimize the clean-up re-
quired before relling the pool.
4. When you are ready, rell the pool using a garden hose with
a “bobby lter” on the end to screen out debris and ne sed-
iment. If you do not have one of these lters, contact Endless
Pools Customer Service. If you have high calcium content and/
or high metal content in your area, you should also add some
“sequestering agent” to the pool water to help prevent scaling/
staining. You may also be able to nd both of these items at a
local pool store.
5. The pool is full when the water completely covers the grill at
the front of the pool. Reestablish electrical power to the pool
equipment, and start balancing the pool water. Shock the pool
to 3.0 ppm free chlorine. Turn on your WQS in order to get your
new body of water ltered, circulated, and heated.
