INTEX TEST STRIPS (PACKED WITH THE PRODUCT)
The Test Strips can test the "Free Chlorine", "pH", "Calcium Hardness" and "Total Alkalinity"
levels at the same time. We recommend that you test the water chemistry weekly, and maintain
the chlorine concentration at 0.5-3 ppm.
Directions and Use
1. Dip the entire strip into the water and remove immediately.
2. Hold the strip level for 15 seconds. Do not shake excess water from the strip.
3. Now compare the strip pad to the color chart on the packaging label. If necessary, adjust the
chemical level in the pool water. It is very important, to use the proper technique when
testing the water's chemical level. Read and follow the written strip instructions carefully.
POOL CARE & 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 cannot be
overemphasized. 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 filtering time. Do not allow swimming in pool until the pH level is balanced. Consult
your local swimming pool supply store for instructions.
• 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.
