POOL MAINTENANCE & CHEMICALS
REMEMBER TO
• Protect all pool occupants from possible water-related illnesses by keeping the pool water
clean and sanitized. Do not swallow the pool water. Always practice good hygiene.
• Keep your pool clean and clear. The pool floor must be visible at all times from the outside
barrier of the pool.
• Keep children away from pool covers to avoid entanglement, drowning, or other serious
injury.
Cleaning of the top ring
•
To keep the top ring clean and free of stains, wipe the surface with a damp cloth after each use. Also cover
the pool with a pool cover when not in use. If you have dark stains on the top ring surface, wipe it with a soft
cloth using a solution of mild laundry detergent and water. Gently rub the stain and be careful not to let the
stain debris fall into the water. Do not use strong detergents, abrasive material or brushes.
Water maintenance
•
The maintenance of a proper water balance through appropriate use of sanitizers is the single most
important factor in maximizing the life and appearance of the liner as well as ensuring clean, healthy
and safe water. Proper technique is important for testing and treating the pool water. See your pool
professional for chemical, test kits and testing procedures. Be sure to read and follow the written
instructions from the chemical manufacturer.
1. Never let chlorine come in contact with the liner if it is not completely dissolved. Dissolve granular or
tablet chlorine first in a bucket of water, then add it to the pool water. Likewise with liquid chlorine; mix
it immediately and thoroughly with the pool water.
2. Never mix chemicals together. Add the chemicals to the pool water separately. Thoroughly dissolve each
chemical before adding another one to the water.
3. An Intex pool skimmer and an Intex pool vacuum are available to assist in maintaining clean pool water.
See your pool dealer for these pool accessories.
4. Do not use a pressure washer to clean the pool.
