Hey this is my Blog for people who have bought an above ground pool but have been left in the deep end with the chemicals.
Here is a little sheet a made to help you guys out hope it helps.
Firstly work out how much water your pool holds using this formula
(1 cubic metre = 1000 Litres or 4.5 Litres per 1 Gallon)
Then Adjust your Ph Levels To a:
Minimum of 7.2
Optimum of 7.4
Maximum of 7.6
so 10g per 1000 litres per day of Ph plus or minus until you get a reading of 7.4
Then Adjust Algaecide levels
25ml per 1000 litres for initial dose then 2ml per 1000 litres every 2 weeks.
Then Adjust Chlorine levels
Initial Dose of chlorine is 6Grams per 1 Cubic Metre
Then 1.8g of Chlorine per 1 cubic metre when needed
Please note frequency can depend on how often the pool is used and how high the temperature is.
Chemical dosage should be between once a week and daily.
Always have your filter pump in operation when adding chemicals to your pool and keep it running for at least half an hour afterwards.
Never Mix Chemicals!!!
Do not allow anyone in the pool for at least half an hour after treatment.
Please test chemical levels before letting anyone enter the pool.
To insure high water quality you should be running your filter pump for an optimum of between 2 and 4
Hours a day. Filter use will increase when used with an intex cover or solar cover, as air cannot circulate.
