13. Maintenance and Use Guidelines
Non-compliance with maintenance instructions may cause serious health risks, particularly for children.
FILTRATION
In order to eliminate suspended solids, you must have a good filtration system. During the season when you are using your pool,
the filtration system must be operated each day, long enough to ensure the water volume is renewed at least every 24 hours (the
minimum filtration duration depends on use and water temperature). We recommend splitting the filtration into 2 periods (once in
the morning and once at night).

You must:
■ Ensure that suction ports are free of obstructions.
■ Replace any element or set of elements that become deteriorated. Only use parts that have been approved by the
manufacturer.
■ Stop the filtration system during maintenance operations.
■ Periodically check the filter's clogging level.
■ Please consult the filter instructions for filtration system maintenance and use.
■ Check the fill level.
ACCESSORIES
The following accessories are required for proper pool maintenance: surface accessories (example: net), bottom accessories,
monitoring and repair accessories (example: repair kit).
Before using a robotic cleaner, clean the filter media of your filter system. Refer to the instructions provided with your filter system.
Also check the filtration power necessary for the correct functioning of your equipment.
CHEMICAL TREATMENT
3 operations are required for treating the water:
■ Adjusting the water's pH level using a test kit and pH corrector. The pH (potential hydrogen) indicates whether and to which
extent the water is acidic or alkaline. The ideal for pool water is to be as close as possible to the pH of lacrimal fluid, i.e. 7.4.
■ Combating algae using an anti-algae product.
■ Disinfecting the water using chlorinated products in order to destroy any microorganisms.
These treatment and monitoring operations should be performed at least once a week to ensure proper water quality.
Water treatment chemicals must be stored in a dry, ventilated area and out of reach of children.
WARNING:
Never put chlorine or other agents directly in the pool, as this could damage the liner.
TIPS:
■ Place a container filled with water at the foot of the ladder so people can rinse their feet before getting into the pool.
■ A thermal cover (bubble cover) will allow you to enjoy your pool to the fullest since it will heat the water, avoid heat loss at
night, prevent leaves and insects from falling in the water and prevent the chlorine from evaporating.
■ No diving or walking on the ledge pieces.
FILLING AND EMPTYING
You should fill the pool so that the water level is at least in the middle of the skimmer.
You should never completely drain the pool. If absolutely necessary, draining should not be performed during high winds and
should be performed as quickly as possible. Do not leave the pool empty for more than 24 hours as the liner may shrink.
Specific Cases and Handling
Your pool is equipped with a filtration system that removes physical impurities such as insects, hair, leaves, and so on. The
chemical treatment of the water, which complements the physical treatment, is necessary for keeping the water fit for bathing.
During normal use, weekly cleaning of your pool is sufficient. However, you may encounter unusual problems that may be resolved
by following the recommendations in the table below.
