GLB Pool Care Kit (1 Kit)

One GLB Pool Care Kit treats pools containing up to 20,000 gallons of water.

SEASON START-UP:

Day 1:

1. Have a professional pool retailer test the water you will be using to fill your pool. Testing the water you are adding will allow you to identify what minerals and chemical factors may require attention later.
2. Check that your pool filter is clean. If it is not clean, use Filter Cleanse according to label directions. Soak filter overnight for best results.
3. Begin filling the pool. After the pool is filled with several inches of water, add Sequa-Sol (16 oz. / 10,000 gallons). This seaquestering agent will prevent minerals in the water from staining or damaging pool surfaces.
4. As the pool completes filling, add Clear Blue clarifier (4 oz. / 10,000 gallons) to clear the water of small particles. Fill pool to the middle of skimmer or the proper level recommended by the manufacturer. Once filled, start the pump and filtration equipment. Run pool filter overnight or 24 hours if possible. While filter is running, this is a good time to vacuum and remove any debris from pool.

Day 2:

1. Add Oxy-Brite (1 lb. / 10,000 gallons) non-chlorine shock treatment to destroy any contaminants that have accumulated in the water.
2. Test the pH and total alkalinity levels of the pool water with GLB 4-Way Test Strips or testing kit. Add pH Up or pH Down to adjust pH level in ideal range of 7.2 to 7.8. Once pH level is in ideal range, adjust the total alkalinity level to the ideal range of 80 - 120 ppm (parts per million) with Alkalinity Up.
3. Now begin disinfecting the water by adding GLB Chlorine or Bromine Sanitizers to adjust the sanitizer level to the ideal range of 1 - 3 ppm. Allow to circulate overnight.

Day 3:

1. Prevent rapid loss of chlorine due to sunlight by adding GLB Stabilizer. (not applicable for bromine pools)
2. Prevent algae from developing by adding Algimycin 2000 (8 oz. / 10,000 gallons).

EASY MAINTENANCE:

Get Ready for the Weekend!... Friday

1. Test the pH, total alkalinity, and sanitizer levels of the pool water with GLB 4-Way Test Strips or testing kit. If necessary, adjust levels with pH Up or pH Down, Alkalinity Up, and GLB Chlorine or Bromine Sanitizers.
2. Add Algimycin 2000 (8 oz. / 10,000 gallons) to prevent algae formation.
3. Add Sequa-Sol (4 oz. / 10,000 gallons) to prevent stains and scale.
4. Add Natural Clear (8 oz. / 10,000 gallons) to prevent oily scum line.
5. Add Clear Blue (2 oz. / 10,000 gallons) to add sparkle to water and remove particles that dull the water.

Party Clean Up... Sunday

1. Vacuum pool & clean out skimmer basket.
2. Wipe off water line & pool accessories with soft towel. Occasionally, use TLC cleaner for heavy build-up.
3. Add Oxy-Brite (1 lb. / 10,000 gallons) to rid water of contaminants.
4. Check filter operation. Refer to filter manufacturers directions regarding when to backwash or clean filter. Use Filter Rinse each time sand filter is backwashed.

Take 5... During the Week

Test the pH, total alkalinity, and sanitizer levels of the pool water with GLB 4-Way Test Strips or testing kit. If necessary, adjust levels with pH Up or pH Down, Alkalinity Up, and GLB Chlorine or Bromine Sanitizers.

POOL CLOSING:

Clean Up:

1. Brush pool walls and floor. Vacuum any dbris from pool bottom.
2. Clean the filter with Filter Cleanse.
3. Lower the water in area where water must be lowered due to freezing conditions. Drain all water from pipes, pumps, heaters, filters, and other pool equipment to prevent damage due to freezing. If in a mild climate where pool is left full and uncovered, confirm with manufacturers directions if the filtration system should continue to operate.

Treat the Water

1. Add Oxy-Brite shock treatment (1 lb. / 10,000 gallons) to destroy organic contaminants.
2. Add Algimycin Winter Algaecide (32 oz. / 12,000 gallons) to prevent algae growth.
3. Add Sequa-Sol sequestering agent (16 oz. / 12,000 gallons) to protect pool from staining and scale formation.

If in mild climate where the pool is left full and uncovered with the filtration system still operating, regularly add GLB Sanitizer, Algimycin Winter, and Sequa-Sol.
