Proper Swimming Pool Maintenance is your first line of defense in preventing most common problems. Following this
easy maintenance checklist should keep your pool water crystal clear and trouble free.

TWICE A WEEK:
1. Use AquaChek Test Strips to Check and maintain your Pool Chemicals Such as keep your ph. levels at 7.4 - 7.6.
2. Test and maintain the free available chlorine level at 1.0 - 3.0 ppm.( Heavy loads require a slightly higher level )
3. Empty the skimmer baskets and clean tile or pool water at water line with Pool Surface Cleaner, and skim leaves,
insects and other floating debris from the pool surface.

ONCE A WEEK:
1. Shock the pool by adding one bag of Shock per 10,000 gallons. Additional shock may be needed after a rain storm,
heavy bather load, or exceptionally hot weather.
2. Add a maintenance dose of Algae Preventative or to prevent algae growth.
3. Brush walls and use a pool vacuum to clean floors.

MONTHLY:
Take a water sample to your professional Water Testing Service, call us at Blue Water Pools or use Test Strips or a
Taylor test kit for a complete Swimming Pool Chemicals analysis. ( We prefer the Taylor test kit. This can be purchased
at Blue Water Pools. )
Clean your filter with Filter Cleaner Degreaser to remove any oils and grease that may have accumulated on your filter.
On Rainy or Windy Days Never Test your Pool Water using AquaChek Test Strips, or any other Test kit.
