PART7-IN-SEASON POOL
MAINTENANCE AND WATER CARE
your local after sale service center if you want to get advice on any repair during the life of the pool kit.
4. If applicable, check your lter-pump cartridge every two weeks (or more frequently during periods of heavy usage) to verify
whether it needs to be cleaned or replaced. If your cartridge is no longer white in color, attempt to spray it clean with a strong
blast of water from your garden hose. If your cartridge cannot be cleaned in this manner, the cartridge must be replaced. Failure
to frequently clean and/or replace your cartridges will affect the effectiveness of your lter pump and could shorten its useful life.
5. If your pool system included a cover, try to keep your pool covered at all times when not in use. This will help keep the wind
and other elements from depositing dirt and debris in your pool, and will also prevent excess rainwater from overlling your pool.
6. Remind your family and friends to always hose or rinse off any dirt or tanning oil from their hands, feet, and body prior to
entering the pool.
7. It’s necessary to monitor the bolts and hardware of the pool (eg. rust stain) when possible.
8. Once your pool has been lled with water for the season, take note if your pool becomes overlled due to rainwater or ac-
cidental overll. If this should occur, it is important to drain or bale out the excess water as soon as possible. If it is an inatable
ring pool, the water level should never be higher than the bottom edge of the inatable ring.

“pushed out” as pool was filled,
causing circumference of top ring
to be outside that of the pool's side
walls.
• Pool is resting on bumpy or slop-
ing ground.
• Drain pool to a 1” water depth and
then smooth out as many wrinkles
as possible.
• Drain pool to a 1” water depth and
then push out side walls until they
are outside of the circumference of
the top ring.
• Make sure ground underneath
pool is very flat, level and free of
any mounds of soil.
COLORED
WATER

when first treated with chlorine.
