This system will maintain a clean, clear swimming pool while you spend less time on maintenance and more time having fun! ® ® For In Ground Pools For Above Ground Pools New Water Cycler ® The New Water Cycler is on constant watch dispensing chlorine to control bacteria and provide a protective bank of sanitizer for your pool. Pool Balancing Water Balance Guidelines Free Chlorine: pH: Total Alkalinity: Calcium Hardness: Stabilizer: 1.0 - 3.0 ppm 7.2 - 7.8 60 - 120 ppm 150 - 400 20 - 80 ppm Total Dissolved Solids: <1500 1. Before beginning with any pool care program, you must first balance your pool water. Take a water sample to your local pool professional or use a complete test kit that will test for the following important elements. 4. Shock the pool with chlorine to rid water of all contaminants before beginning. Follow manufacturer's directions carefully. ® 2. If your fill water is high in metals, use a sequestering agent or metal out at pool opening only before inserting a Pac. Follow manufacturer's directions. 5. Do not add shock in or near the skimmer or into the New Water Cycler as it could damage equipment, risk potential explosion or discolor your pool surface. 3 3. After your pool is up and running smoothly, continue to test your water for pH, total alkalinity and chlorine and maintain its balance by adding any necessary adjustment products (see your dealer for details). 6. Add a stabilizer or conditioner to the pool at the beginning of the season if the stabilizer level is below 20 ppm. This will prevent chlorine burn off. Follow manufacturer's directions carefully.
