Strictly follow the acid manufacturers safety and handling protocols including hand, body and eye protection
when transferring or handling acid. Safety precautions should be used when handling Muriatic acid to
control pH water levels. Muriatic acid can cause serious body injury and damage pool equipment. Extra
care must be taken when installing, maintaining and operating acid pump feed systems. Acid is dangerous to
handle and should be properly contained, transported, poured, stored, and dispensed.
Check the pH and sanitizer levels of the water before use.
Periodically use an independent pH and Chlorine test kit to verify that pH and chlorine is at a
safe level. If the pH and Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) or Flow Cell sensors are broken,
depleted or dirty with oils, lotions, or other contaminants, they can report inaccurate results to the
system causing incorrect water chemistry, which could harm people or equipment.
Check the main status display each day to ensure there are no Alarm messages.
