POOL MAINTENANCE & CHEMICALS
REMEMBER TO
• Protect all pool occupants from possible water-related illnesses by keeping the
pool water clean. 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.
The maintenance of a proper water balance 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 water testing. 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 into 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 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.
