Your authorized dealer uses professional water testing equipment to determine which chemicals your pool needs. Proper pool maintenance includes frequent testing of the pool and spa water. This is your first line of defense in preventing common problems and protecting your family and pool or spa.

TWICE A WEEK
1. Check and maintain pH levels at 7.2 - 7.6.

2. Monitor and maintain chlorine levels at 1.0 - 3.0 ppm.

3. Empty skimmer baskets, skim leaves, insects, and other debris from pool surface.

4. Clean pool wall tile or vinyl at water line with a tile or vinyl cleaner.
