Conditioning and Stabilising the Water in your New Pool

Proper safe use of chemicals

Use goggles and protective gloves when handling chemicals.
Keep all chemicals out of the reach of children and in sealed containers.

Never mix pool chemicals together in the same container. The combination of certain chemicals can produce a poisonous gas or can even cause an explosion.

Always dose pool in accordance with manufacturers instructions as indicated on chemical containers.

Do not store chemicals in an unventilated room or plant room.

Always read the instructions on the chemical container labels before using the contents and follow them carefully.

Wash your hands thoroughly after using any chemicals.

Problems caused by a chemical imbalance and the solutions (please consult with the pool shop analyst for help).
Excessive chlorine usage: Pool water not stabilized and/or ph out of adjustment.
Solution: Add stabiliser/conditioner – correct ph level.

Eye & skin irritation: PH of balance, or combined chlorine level too high.

Strong chlorine odour:
Solution: correct ph. Test for combined chlorine and if too high dilute pool water from Mains as necessary.

Cloudy water:
Solution: check ph and chlorine. Adjust ph and superchlorinate. Add “ relax” liquid clarifier. Run filtration continuously until the water clears.

Water turning green: PH too high and chlorine residual (free chlorine) too low.
Solution: reduce ph, superchlorinate and when clear add algaecide.
