POOL TIP: Three-inch tablets triple in
solubility when the water temperature
increases from 77 to 90 degrees. Use one
three-inch tablet per 10,000 gallons per
week. Make minor adjustments with liquid
chlorine or calcium hypochlorite. Pre-
dilute water-balance chemicals in a five-
gallon bucket before adding them to the
pool. Always add chemicals to water, not
water to chemicals.
POOL TIP: Do not broadcast stabilizer
directly into the pool. Instead, place it in
a sock and place the sock in the skimmer
basket.
POOL TIP: Super chlorinate your pool
twice monthly during the summer, once
a month during the winter, and after
the pool receives heavy use. Super
chlorination should result in a minimum
of 8 ppm chlorine.
CAUTION: After super chlorination, wait
24 hours before swimming in the pool.
Do the chlorination at night and then
vacuum and brush in the morning to
remove residue.
Handrails, ladders, etc.
The handrails and ladders in your pool are made
of stainless steel. Still, proper maintenance is
necessary to ensure the handrails and ladders
do not experience problems such as corrosion
and rust.
The following tips will ensure the stainless steel
looks good for years:
Clean frequently with soap and water or a
cleaner that’s safe for glass.
Use a brass, chrome, or silver cleaner to remove
rust spots as soon as possible.
Apply wax to add beauty and protection.
Avoid cleaning with abrasives such as steel wool
or sandpaper.
Do not use bleaches or mineral acids to clean.
Do not leave stainless steel in contact with other
metal as it may cause corrosion or rust.
