integrity. A permanently installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a building so that it cannot be
readily disassembled for storage.

many as 6 of the 1” diameter chlorine tablets. Check your chlorine levels to determine the proper number of
chlorine tablets to add. The filter cartridge will automatically dispense chlorine into the pool as the pump runs.
You must have the type of Filter Cartridge (15) with a central core mesh divider (See page 3) to use the
chlorine dispenser. DO NOT use this to dispense powdered chlorine, shock treatment or any other type of
chemicals as damage to the pump, filter cartridge, and pool will occur.
