New Pool School note

New Pool School by FamilyLeisure.com

1. It only takes 15, 20 or 30 minutes for the pool every week
2. Test strips for Alkalinity, PH and Chlorine

Alkalinity  impacts PH: 

PH: 7.2 - 7.6

3. Shock

Liquid chlorine: powerful, should not use the pool within 12-24 hours

Blast: no chlorine, safer and easier

4. Normal

One tablet for every 5000 Gallon water two times per week

1 pound of blast (shock) for every 10000 Gallon water one time per week

Use 2 ounces of copper algaecide for every 10000 Gallon water once every two weeks

Sunday night to test the three strips, and add the blast

Wednesday …

5. Sand filter filters better when they are dirty, do not back wash too often. And backwash wastes water.
6. Fill the hose with full water, and then plug into the skimmer outlet (need patience).
7. To vacuum the pool, slowly with patience.
8. It’s OK and better to keep filter running 7*24
9. Keep the water level high
10. Add chemical through the skimmer to avoid the damage on the liner (heat)
