Pool Care And Chemicals; Long Term Storage - Intex Krystal Clear 636T Owner's Manual

POOL CARE AND CHEMICALS

• All pools require care to keep the water clear and hygienically clean. With proper chemical control,
your filter will help attain this objective. Consult your pool supply dealer for instructions regarding
the proper use of chlorine, algaecide and other chemical agents required for sparkling clear water.
• Keep pool chemicals away from children.
• Do not replenish chemicals in pool while pool is occupied. Skin or eye irritations could occur.
• Daily pH checking and chemical treatment of the water is very important and can not be
overemphasized. Chlorine, algaecide and maintenance of proper pH levels are required when
filling the pool as well as during the season. Consult your local swimming pool supply store for
instructions.
• The season's first filling of the pool may have brackish water requiring extra water additives and
extra filter changes. Do not allow swimming in pool until the pH level is balanced. Consult your
local swimming pool supply store for instructions.
• Keep spare filter cartridges on hand. Replace cartridges every two weeks.
• Chlorinated water may damage lawns, gardens or shrubbery as children play in the pool and
splash water outside the pool. Lawn areas underneath the pool liner will be destroyed. Note that
some types of grass may grow through the liner.
• Filter run time depends on pool size, weather and usage level. Experiment with various run times
so as to produce clean clear water.
• European standard EN16713-3 lists some additional pool water quality and water treatment
information that can be found at www.intexcorp.com/support.
Concentrated chlorine solutions may damage the pool liner. Always follow
the chemical manufacturer's directions, and the health and hazard warnings.
LONG TERM STORAGE & WINTERIZATION
1. Before emptying your pool for long term storage, or relocation, be sure the water is directed
towards an acceptable drain water receptacle away from the house. Check local regulations for
specific directions regarding disposal of swimming pool water.
2. Disconnect power cord from electrical outlet.
3. Now, drain the pool.
4. When the pool is empty, disconnect all hoses from pump and plunger valves and remove the
strainers from the pool wall.
5. Drain all water from the filter pump.
6. Leave filter pump pieces & hoses outside to thoroughly air dry.
7. Remove both plunger valves from the connectors (13 &16). Be careful not to lose the step rubber
washer (10).

• Air release valve & sediment O-rings (3).
• Filter housing cover O-ring (5).
• Pump hose O-rings (9).
• Strainer valve assembly step washers (10).

9. Discard the used filter cartridge. Put aside 1 or 2 new cartridges for next season's use.
10. It is best to place all dry pieces in the original packaging for storage or place them in an airtight
plastic bag.
