Before beginning with any pool care program, you must
first balance your pool water. Take a water sample to your
local pool professional or use a complete test kit that will
test for the below important elements.
New pools especially may contain undesirable matter. These
pools need extra care to properly balance before using
POOL FROG
®
Mineral Hybrid.
•
Add a stabilizer or conditioner to
the pool at the beginning of the
season if the stabilizer level is below
40 ppm. This will prevent chlorine
burn off. Follow manufacturer’s
directions carefully.

on using these products and always follow manufacturers
directions carefully.
Do not turn generator power on until start-up is complete
