The maintenance of proper water balance is the single most important factor to
maximize the life and appearance of the liner as well as ensuring clean, healthy, safe
water. Proper technique is important for water testing. See your pool professional for
chemical, test kits and testing procedures. Be sure to read and follow the written
instructions from the chemical manufacturer.
1
. Never let chlorine come into contact with the liner before the chlorine has fully dissolved.
Granular or tableted chlorine is dissolved first into a bucket of water. Likewise, liquid
chlorine, if poured into various locations around the pool, must be immediately mixed
thoroughly with pool water.
2
. Never mix chemicals together, rather add chemicals to pool water separately and circulate
throughout pool before adding additional chemicals.
3
. An Intex pool skimmer and an Intex pool vacuum are available to assist in maintaining
clean pool water. See your pool dealer for these pool accessories.
4
. Do not use pressure washer to clean the pool.
REMEMBER TO
• Protect all pool occupants from recreational water illnesses by keeping the pool
water clean. Don’t swallow the pool water. Practice good hygiene.
• Keep your pool clean and clear. The pool floor must be visible at all times from
the outside barrier of the pool.
• Keep children away from pool covers to avoid entanglement, drowning, or other
serious injury.
