• Make sure the pool has
adequate circulation. The
pool water must completely
circulate through the pump
and filter at least 1 to 2 times
per day. This usually requires
8 to 12 hours. Check with
your dealer for the proper
circulation time for your pool.
Ensuring a Healthy Swimming Pool
Start-up and Yearly Maintenance
• Before beginning with any
pool care program,
including POOL FROG
®
, you
must first balance your pool
water. Take a water sample
to your local pool profes-
sional or use a complete test
kit that will test for the fol-
lowing important elements.
• If your fill water is high in metals, check with your
pool professional on how to maintain proper levels. It
may require shocking the pool and cleaning the filter.
• Check the pool's filter
gauge often and periodically
clean filter per the manufac-
turer's directions. A dirty
filter will slow the flow of
water which could hamper
proper circulation.
• After your pool is up and
running smoothly, continue
to test your water for pH,
total alkalinity and chlorine
and maintain it's balance by
adding any necessary adjust-
ment products (see your
dealer for details).
