covered when not in use, testing the water regularly to ensure proper chemical balance, operating the
pump for an adequate number of hours each day, keeping the filter pump cartridge clean, and replacing
the cartridge when needed.

maintaining proper chlorine and pH levels at all times. The customer can check the local pool chemical
supplies store for further information.
