QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
How can I care for my pool wall?
Wash periodically with a mild soap.Where seashore salt water is present use clear non-yellowing household or autowax on metal
parts. Coat all exposed screw & bolt heads with clear outdoor varnish or matching paint.
Scratches on the pool wall & frame may be touched up with colour matched enamel paint available from your pool dealer or
hardware store.
What should I do in case of corrosion?
Tighten & seal around your skimmer & inlet if corrosion appears in these areas. Carefully wirebrush away all loose material on
affected areas of the wall. Apply a coat of anti-rust enamel primer & allow to dry. Apply a coat of colour matching anti-rust enamel
paint. It is important to maintain a strict periodic pool wall inspection schedule.
How often should I filter my pool?
Run the filter for a minimum of 8 hours per day during the swimming season. In the winter run for 2-3 hours per week or as
required.
Can I vacuum my pool?
Use a vacuum head with soft/smooth edges on liner surfaces.
DO NOT attempt to vacuum up leaves, twigs, stones or other debris. Large debris must be netted from the pool before vacuuming.

What should I do with my pool during vacation?
Check & adjust pH. Raise chlorine level to 3ppm if you are not using N2. Engage a responsible person to check and keep chlorine
level to 3ppm (if you are not using N2) and run filter for at least 4 hours every 4-5 days. Use cover if possible. See Nature 2 Q &
A.
Can I mix chemicals with chlorine?
NO, DEFINITELY NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. Mix & disperse chemicals as described in instructions.
Why does my pool water turn green?
Because of algae growth. Algae may impart a green, red or brownish colour to the water. (Or phosphates in your water).
What is algae?
Algae is a microscopic plant life that thrives and multiplies very rapidly in warm, unchlorinated, nutrient rich water or water that
has an incorrect pH.
Algae causes slimy patches and stains to develop on the bottom and sides of the pool.
However, whilst the pool water may appear to be clear it is possible that algae growth is present.
How do I remove algae from the pool?
The only way to ensure that the algae growth is restricted is to ensure that your water is chemically treated correctly with a
chlorine residual of no less than 1.00ppm - 1.5ppm and a pH of 7.2 - 7.6 on the test kit.
Add an algaecide. See Nature 2 Q & A.
When is the best time to chlorinate my pool?
In the evening when the sun has gone down and the day’s swimming is completed. High temperature and sunlight tend to dissipate
chlorine rapidly.
