GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

    * The correct level of free chlorine should be maintained for several hours prior to and during swimming activity.
    * Chlorine levels and pH should be tested daily by use of a reliable test kit using fresh testing reagents.
    * If pH falls below the required level add dry alkali, if it rises above add dry acid or hydrochloric acid.
    * Dose the pool in the evening when the pool is not in use. Dosage rates indicated are only a guide. Dose the pool and then test to ensure the required free chlorine levels are reached.
    * If stabilisers are present in the pool, stabiliser levels should be tested fortnightly by use of a reliable test kit. If 100 mg/L of stabiliser is exceeded the ability of the chlorine to control algae, bacteria, viruses and protozoa is reduced.

SUPER CHLORINATION

During the swimming season
