• Filters remove undissolved particles and clarify water
•
Good circulation ensures proper ltration and well-distributed disinfectants
• Consider bather load and weather conditions when
running a circulating system

• Pump/lter combination able to recirculate pool capacity every 8 hours
• At least one skimmer and return located to prevent dead spots and
short circuiting
• Pool location with non-skid surface
• Pool location at least 10 ft. from electrical outlets and devices
