KEEP IN MIND ... |
| Each pool maintenance key is very important. Consider each key as a simple, preventive maintenance step. |

Pool water must be circulated for maximum sanitizer effectiveness. The more your water is in motion, the harder it is for bacteria and algae to take hold. Debris is captured by your filter, too. The best time to circulate the water is during the day, for 10 hours or more. Lot's of people circulate 24/7 and that works well. You might want to consider a 2 speed pump. They will save up to 50% on your power bill.. 2 speed packages for above ground pools can be found by following this link. In ground 2 speed pumps can be viewed here |

The filter is one of your most important pieces of equipment. There are three different types of filters. (1) D.E. Filter. (2) Sand Filter. (3) Cartridge Filter. You can read more about the 3 types of filters here. Filters remove both visible debris and most microscopic matter. Generally, a filter should be backwashed (the removal of material trapped on or in the filter media)or cleaned when the water pressure in the filter reaches 8 to 10 pounds above normal. (Check manufacturer's guidelines.) Because backwashing does not remove oils and deeply embedded debris, every filter needs to be chemically cleaned regularly.

| Some swimming pools have areas with little or no circulation. This is where algae and bacteria can begin to grow. At least once a week, the walls and floor should be brushed and vacuumed to remove debris that the filter misses. Brushing is a must, even if you use an automatic pool cleaner or retain a weekly service |

Every pool has characteristics that must be regularly measured and adjusted. Most important are the pH and the level of active sanitizer. By testing these two factors at regular intervals, you'll understand how bather load, weather and product application affect the water. We recommed testing your pool water two or three times per week. Call us toll free with any questions. |

The last step in a total pool maintenance program is applying the right products to your pool water at the right time. This will help you:
• Provide a sanitary swimming environment.
• Balance the water to protect the equipment and pool surfaces. Unbalanced water can permanently damage both.
• Provide brilliant, sparkling water that's inviting.
• Enjoy your pool!
