Fill the pool unitl water reaches the center of the skimmer opening. DO NOT STOP THE FILLING PROCESS UNTIL THE POOL IS COMPLETELY FILLED, otherwise a water mark could result. If you are concerned that the pool will overfill during the evening, turn the water down low so it will fill slowly but uninterrupted. |

Make sure the filter has been thoroughly cleaned or backwashed before using. Do not use a vacuum or automatic pool cleaner with hard wheels for the first 30 days. This may mar the surface. A brush vacuum head is acceptable. |
3 |
Test water after pool is filled and adjusted water chemistry to the following settings for the first 30 days. |
|
| pH - 7.2 - 7.4 |
Total Alkalintiy - 100ppm |
Calcium Hardness - 250 ppm |
|
|
If using a salt chlorine generator, do not add salt or turn on the machine until day 3. |
4 |
Start Filtration system. Maintain water circulation for 24 hours prior to balancing the pools chemistry.
(If a heater or heat pump is included in system, bypass this equipment if possible). |
5 |
If pH is high, adjust down the pool acid by pouring in front of return line, away from pool walls and shallow areas. |
6 |
Do not add chlorine or other oxidizer/sanitizer for the first 48 hours. |
7 |
To further reduce the likihood of staining, brush the pool finish twice daily for the first 2 days. Then brush daily for
the next month. |
8 |
Clean the filter. The filter should be cleaned again if it shows an 8-10 psi rise in pressure. |
9 |
Day 3: Adjust pool chemistry to the following levels and maintain as normal checmistry: |
|
Free Chlorine - 1.0 - 3.0 ppm |
pH - 7.4 - 7.6 |
Toal Alkalinity - 80 - 120ppm |
Calcium Hardness - 200 - 400ppm |
|
Stabilizer - 30 - 100 ppm |
|
10 |
Adjust pump timer to normal operating hours. |
