  • Test water daily
  • Add ½ capful (¼ cup) of Super 95 or Dy-Chor II to keep chlorine reading between 1-3 ppm

  • Even when algae is not present – wipe entire pool down with a clean cloth or brush and add 2 oz of Algaecide 300 once a week to prevent a slimy pool
  • Add a ½ cup of liquid shock once a week
  • Maintain pH and alkalinity as necessary to keep water and equipment safe
  • Keep cover off of pool as much as possible, especially when the temperature is very hot, to prevent algae growth
  • Do not put cover on pool at least 4 hours after adding chemicals so that the chemicals can sanitize and gas off properly

  • Hose off filter cartridge a couple of times a week for proper filtration
  • Replace filter cartridge every 2 weeks to maintain a clean and safe pool
