3 Easy steps to maintaining your swimming pool!

Step 1. is continuous chlorination.

Step 2. is oxidizing contaminants.

Step 3. is applying an algaecide weekly.

Step 1.is as easy as using a chlorine floater that you fill once a week with chlorine tablets and let it float in your pool all week. Yep step one is complete. 

Step 2. is so easy, just add shock to your pool each week. Add the shock like this…one – 1 lb. bag of shock per 10,000 gallons.

Most pools usually need 2  to 3 bags per week. And of course follow all application instructions on bag, box or pail of shock.

Step 3. is also easy. Just add one bottle of algaecide to start the season, then each week add 8.ozs. to the pool.
