Pool Maintenance

What Chemicals Will I Need For The Pool?
Answer:
It is recommended that the pool pH be monitored weekly. Testing strips can be purchased online or
at your local pool supply store. Ideal water pH range is best determined by consulting your local pool
supply store because of regional differences, but generally will fall within a pH of 7.0 to 7.6.
To maintain ideal pH balance both a pH increaser (alkaline) and a pH reducer (acid) will need to be
purchased. These can be purchased online or from your local supply store.
A small amount of chlorine will also be needed unless a salt water system is being run. Generally
speaking because of the small size of the pool, it will often be a few ounces. Both tablets and
powders can work. Please refer to the recommended proportion given by the chemical manufacturer
or check with your local pool supply store.
Finally, a few drops of a pool clarifier per week is recommended. These can be purchased online or
at your local pool supply store and assist in keeping the pool clean by clumping smaller particles
together to be more easily caught by the filter cartridge.
How Long Should I Run The Filter Pump?
Answer:
It is recommended to run the filter pump three to six hours in order to keep the water well
oxygenated and prevent algae from growing in the pool. Please ensure the filter cartridge is clean
and change the filter cartridge once a month. A timer can be used in conjunction with the filter pump
to control how long it is running. It is not recommended to swim in the pool while the filter pump is
running.
