How do I know when my filter should be cleaned?
Manufacturers of DE and Cartridge filters recommend to have the filter broken down and cleaned at least twice a year. Some filters may need to be cleaned more often depending on the swimmer / debris load on the pool.
How long does it take to heat my pool?
Most people will heat a pool to the 80-degree range, it will usually take 24 hours of continuous run time to achieve a desired temperature.
How long should I wait until I enter my pool after treatment?
This will depend on the amount and what chemicals have been added to the water. For a normal maintenance treatment, it could be as short as 3 hours, for more aggressive treatments like shocking the pool, we would recommend waiting at least 6 to 12 hours.
What are the recommended levels for water chemistry?
Total Alkalinity (adjusted) 80ppm – 120ppm
To calculate adjusted alkalinity, take your Total Alkalinity ppm – 1/3 Cyanuric Acid ppm = Adjusted Alkalinity
pH 7.2 – 7.8 pH Scale
Chlorine 1ppm – 3ppm
Calcium Hardness 200ppm – 400ppm
Cyanuric Acid (Stabilizer) 20ppm – 40ppm
