Pool Water Chemistry
• It is important for the long-term operation of the Fastlane that
the pool water be properly balanced and in accordance with
typical pool industry standards.
• As with any swimming pool, the Fastlane Pool requires water
chemistry monitoring. The Water Quality System, which
includes automated re-circulating, filtration, and optional
heating will do most of the work on its own. However, bal-
ancing and maintaining the pool water is essential to the life
and health of the equipment.
• Maintain a minimal level (residual) of 0.5 ppm free chlo-
rine in the pool at all times. Adding 1/2 cup of Clorox a day
will add approximately 0.5 ppm of free chlorine to a Fastlane
Pool. How quickly that chlorine is consumed will depend
upon the water temperature, swimmer load and the amount of
direct sunlight the pool receives.
• Maintain a pH level between 7.4-7.8. A pH outside of this
range will cause your water to be corrosive.
• Water test strips have been provided with the Fastlane Pool.
The strips will help with monitoring the chlorine and pH
requirements of the Fastlane Pool.
• If the Fastlane Pool is located outside, stabilized chlorine in
granular form (should have an active ingredient of sodium
dichlor) is recommended instead of Clorox.
• Pre-dissolve all dry chemicals before putting them into the pool.
Failure to do so may result in bleaching or damaging the liner.
• Always have the pool's Water Quality System (the Swim
Propulsion system is even better) running when adding chem-
icals, liquid or dry.
• Do not leave pool filled with water without proper chemical
treatment and pool maintenance.
• Under NO circumstances can salt-generating systems be
used in an Endless Pool.
Daily:
• Test for free chlorine a minimum of three times a week.
• Add chlorine to maintain free chlorine levels between 0.5 and
1.5 ppm.
• As one becomes familiar with the chlorine demand for the
Fastlane Pool, the amount of chlorine needed to maintain the
residual at a minimum level of 0.5 ppm will likely become
second nature, and frequency of needing to test chlorine levels
will likely decrease.
Weekly
• Check and adjust the water level. The water should just cover
the honeycomb grill where the current is produced. Water lev-
els greater than 1/2" lower than this can create a choppy cur-
rent and may cause the skimmer to draw air into the plumbing
lines. Having the water level 1" or more higher than that hon-
eycomb grill can cause more water to splash out of the pool.
• Test the pH level at least twice a week. Broadcast (i.e. pour
chemical into the current) pH increaser or pH decreaser to
maintain levels between 7.4 and 7.8.

Nature 2 Installation
The Nature 2 purification system will be placed inside of the fil-
ter cartridge. retention strap has been provided to prevent the
Nature 2 (slotted yellow cartridge) from falling out of the filter.
Remove the Nature 2 and retention strap from its packaging.
Pass the strap through the Nature 2 so that the locking mech-
anism of the strap is facing up.
Loop the strap over onto itself and interlock the strap end into
its locking mechanism. The strap end should be inserted into
the locking mechanism no more than 4-5 positions.
Next, pull the cylindrical floating cage out of the filter body.
Remove the filter cartridge from the filter body inside the
pool, by grabbing the top and unthreading the cartridge.
Insert the Nature 2 into the opening in the bottom of the car-
tridge so that the retention strap is facing down.
Reinstall the filter cartridge and then place the floating skim-
mer cage over top the cartridge.
