Caring for your pool is easy as 1-2-3…

1. Water Care
2. Water Clean
3. Water Clear… The ClearVIEW way.

Start with these three basic requirements for year round sparkling water:

1. Operate your pool filtration daily:

DEFINITION

With temperature above 75°F filter water 8 to 12 hours per day. The filter will screen out insoluble particles and debris by circulating the water through it. Poor filtration usually results in more chemical usage. Adequate filtration  is very important for proper  maintenance.

THINGS TO DO

Check pump, hair, and lint trap  regularly. Remove leaves and debris  from basket. Clean or back wash  filter often for good water circulation and clarity. Follow manufacturer’s instructions in cleaning and changing filters. Add ClearVIEW chemicals that aide in the filtration process.

2. Know the size of your pool:

DEFINITION

ClearVIEW dosage is always based on gallons in your pool, so it is vital that you know your pool volume in gallons. Please use the simple formulas to determine your pool size in gallons.

AVERAGE DEPTH IN FEET:

Add the depth of the deep end to the depth of the shallow end then divide  by 2.

RECTANGLE:

Multiply length x width x average  depth x 7.5 = number of gallons.

OVAL:

Multiply full length x full width x average depth x 5.9 = number of gallons.

ROUND:

Multiply diameter x diameter x average depth x 5.9 = number of gallons.

3. Test your pool water regularly:

DEFINITION THINGS TO DO

Get into the habit of testing your water alkalinity and acid demand. Also Always rinse test block a few times weekly. It’s the only way to maintain an needed are kits to test cyanuric in water to be tested. Be sure the effective chemical balance of the water. acid (conditioner) and hardness. water samples are taken 18” or It’s insurance against trouble causing Store solutions or test strips in a more below the surface and away problems. Use a good 4 in 1 test kit that cool, dry place and replace regularly from the inlet. Don’t let the water will test for pH, free chlorine, total as they have a shelf life and go bad samples stand, test them as quickly  if left in the sun.
