How much Chlorine will I need to use?
We recommend using a small (2 to 3 parts per million) of sanitizer to keep your pool microbe-free. You
may still use small quantities of chlorine, bromine, or a non-
chlorine sanitizer. It’s the large expensive
quantities of chlorine that you no longer need to keep your pool crystal clear.
How often do I clean copper anode?
You will need to clean the copper anode every five to seven days, otherwise build up may occur in the
basket preventing the minerals being released in the water properly. Also, this may cause a tear in the
basket.
How do I clean the anode and basket?
Remove the unit from the pool, inspect for any damages on the panel and around the unit.
Flip the unit over onto a soft surface such as grass (you may want to have a trash bag underneath the
unit) and gently remove the nylon screw and basket from the anode. Remove the anode from the unit and
give it a little scrub with the wire brush provided.
HINT: Easier to clean when wet. When dry, dusty
mineralized residue can be irritating.
Can I use a metal screw if I misplace or break the nylon screw that came with the unit?
No.
A metal screw will interfere with the ionization process and will “fuse” into the copper. It must be non-
metallic.

What do I do if I have algae, but the water is crystal clear?
Algae may occur in shaded spots (such as black algae on your plaster pool surface), most likely near the
steps or the deep end of the pool, this is because of how your water is filtered and you will need to spot
treat the algae with powdered chlorine. Let the spots disappear while you continue using your Sun Shock.
What do I do if my pool is cloudy?
Run your filter a little longer than normal for your pool and add a little extra chlorine if necessary.
PLEASE NOTE: Algaecides, conditioners, clarifies, etc., are unnecessary. Higher chlorine levels
may be required with an increase in water temperature, increased swimmer load, rainfall, or new
water added. If using liquid chlorine, add at or after sundown because the sun's rays quickly
neutralize chlorine. The recommended levels are not absolute and may vary with changing water
conditions. What works best for your pool is determined by experience. Allow your water to seek
its own balance. Do not arbitrarily alter the pH, apply large doses of chlorine (AKA 'Shock'), add
algaecide, add conditioner, or try to change perfectly clear water
