pool chemical supplier for analysis before adding ANY chemicals.
6. Refer to the retail package box or visit the support pages at support.polygroupstore.com for the capacity of your pool.
You will need this information to determine the amount of chemicals you will need to correct the pool water. NOTE: It is recommended to use a 5 gallon bucket of
water to mix and dissolve your chemicals and then applying directly to the pool water. Follow manufacturers label directions on all chemicals.*Most pool supply
stores will test your pool water for free and advise you of what chemicals you need, and the correct amount to use for your pool. You will need to tell them the pool
capacity in gallons.

IMPORTANT -
We cannot over-stress the importance of proper and adequate daily chemical treatment. Chlorine and pH levels must be properly maintained
at all times.
PUMP AND FILTER ALONE WILL NOT PREVENT ALGAE FROM GROWING IN POOL WATER; THIS CAN ONLY BE DONE BY MAINTAINING
PROPER CHLORINE AND pH LEVELS AT ALL TIMES.
• Maintain pH level between 7.3 and 7.8.
• Maintain chlorine level between 1.0 and 1.6 ppm (parts per million).
• Superchlorinate your pool at least every other week.
NOTE :
1. Hot weather/heavy use may require pH and chlorine levels to be maintained on the upper side of the scale and superchlorination of the pool every week.
2. Using a pool cover and/or solar cover (available at polygroupstore.com) will assist in maintaining your pH and chlorine levels by reducing the amount of
evaporation from your pool.
CAUTION - Concentrated chlorine levels and low pH levels will damage pool. You must follow the instructions for the pool chemicals you use, as to quantity and
recommended usage. NEVER drop lumps or pellets of chemicals in pool; this may present a hazard to swimmers and/or damage your liner.
