MECHANICAL AND CHEMICAL WATER TREATMENT
To remove all dirt particles falling into the water
and to ensure a proper circulation, it is necessary
to connect a filter system to your swimming pool.
The system is connected via a built-in skimmer
and the cleaned water is recirculated via the inlet
nozzle. In addition, it is imperative to ensure a
proper chemical water treatment. This means it is
necessary to regularly check the pH value (optimal
= 7.2, tolerance range = 7.0 to 7.4) and adjust it, if
required. For disinfection and oxidation, please use
either chlorine products or, alternatively, oxygen
components. Never add water care products directly
into the pool; instead always use a dosing float or
an external chlorine feeder or dosing system. If, for
example, chlorine tablets should fall into the water,
they can cause permanent damage/discolouration
of the liner.
LINER MAINTENANCE AND CARE
The use of the necessary disinfectants can cause
a slight discolouration of the liner over time. Dirt/
grease in the upper part, at the level of the water
line, can be removed with our edge cleaner; for
spring cleaning (with the pool being empty), use our
acidic basic cleaner, which also eliminates limescale
deposits. Small holes in the liner can be repaired, e.
g. with a repair kit/underwater glue. Add fresh water
regularly and change the water completely every 2
years at the latest.
WINTERIZING
All steel wall swimming pools are winterproof and
must be filled over the winter. Lower the water level
just below the skimmer; the inlet nozzle can be
closed with a cap. In the autumn before wintertime,
add a winter preservative to the pool water, so
you do not have to change the water in the spring.
Never break the ice plates that form on the pool
surface, and never step unto or skate on the frozen
surface. Damage to the liner may result in loss of
water during the winter and thus in a collapse of
the swimming pool. It should therefore be checked
regularly. Cover the pool with a winterproof tarpaulin
in the autumn. Do not use any boards/planks or
other homemade coverings as they may damage
your pool. When the water level has been lowered
for the winter, ensure that the used cover tarpaulin is
sufficiently large to rest on the surface of the water
If a cavity should form under the cover tarpaulin,
this may result in bigger damage to the swimming
pool (up to a bending of the steel wall) due to the
pressure of rainwater.
