Overview
A water chemistry start-up kit, including test kit, has been provided with the StreamLine Pool. This kit should be sufficient to get the pool
properly balanced and ready to swim . Over the course of the pool's life, additional balancing chemicals will be required . Endless Pools
can only ship these aftermarket chemicals in the continental United States . Ideally, these chemicals will be purchased at any local pool and
spa retail center .
Household bleach, in its most basic form, is the most appropriate form of chlorine for an indoor StreamLine Pool (that is covered when
not in use). If the pool is to be installed outdoors, a more concentrated form of chlorine may be required. This should be discussed with a
local pool and spa professional .
