Swimming Pool Care

 

After we complete your pool remodel we immediately begin filling your pool. These instructions are what to do after your pool is full. We will be with you every step of the way, but follow these instructions carefully and call us immediately if you have any questions.

 

DO NOT STOP WATER WHILE FILLING. AFTER POOL IS FULL ADD WATER TO THE SPA BY PLACING HOSE ON THE BOTTOM. USE WATER NOT CONNECTED TO A WATER SOFTENER.

 

Call office when pool and spa are full. Turn on equipment. Clean up - sequestering agent will be added at plaster or after pool and spa are full. We will stop by and brush or vacuum pool. If acid is required we will add some at this time. We'll also make sure the area around contracted work is cleaned and finished. This will be scheduled 1-3 days after pool and spa have filled. If someone is home at time of cleanup we will give basic instructions on equipment. Otherwise manuals will be emailed or left behind.

 

Homeowners Responsibility: As Soon As Pool And Spa Are Filled.

 

1. Test water - add chlorine and muriatic acid -test water.

2. Brush pool 3 times first week, then twice per week.

3. No pets or people should be in the pool until full and water is balanced.

4. Pool equipment may be run normally. (8hr. cycles)

5. Once pool is clean and water is balanced you may swim. It's best ot wait 3 weeks to heat, add salt and vacuum.

6. Then return to regular maintenance and enjoy your new pool!

 

ALWAYS POUR ACID DIRECTLY INTO THE DEEP END OF THE POOL.

NOTE: NO SALT FOR 30 DAYS AFTER PLASTER.

ATTENTION: WHILE BEAUTIFUL, ALL DYED POOLS EXHIBIT MORE COLOR UNEVENNESS THAN WHITE POOLS. DISCOLORATION IS NORMAL AND CAN OCCUR DURING FILLING AND THROUGHOUT THE LIFE OF THE POOL. BLOTCHINESS, STREAKING AND WHITE BRUSH MARKS ARE COMMON IN ALL POOLS.

 

REMEDY: FOR GENERAL DECK OR EXTERIOR POOL STAINS OR RESIDUE REMOVAL - ADD 1 QUART OF ACID TO 2 GALLONS OF WATER AND APPLY TO PROBLEM AREA.
