Backwash the filter system following manufacturers’ directions. Adjust pH between 7.2-7.6. Adjust chlorine residual to 1-3 ppm. In a chlorine treated pool, add stabilizer to establish a minimum level of 40-50 ppm to reduce the degradative effects of sunlight upon the chlorine residual. Check for metals and if present add stain and scale inhibitor to prevent staining of pool surface due to metals. Check chlorine residual and adjust to 1-3 ppm. Maintain sanitizer residual in accordance with label directions found on your sanitizer of choice.
