Even if  some automatic cleaning tools exist, the manual cleaning is still necessary. You need to imperatively clean the water line to avoid scale marks.

In order to optimize the filtration, you have to think regularly to do a backawage of sand and DE filters cartridges.

You need to check regularly the pH and chlorine level of the water. After a stormy rain, the pH rises.

Always put the filtration on when swimming because of the pollution generated by human bodies : sweat, hairs, bacterias, skin parts…

It is convenient to rise the filtration time when the water temperature rises. Tip : If the water temperature is  24°C, we advise to filter 12h/day (24/2), if the water temperature is 30°C, we advise filtration for 15h/day (30/2).

You have to maintain a minimum water level, it should never be below the skimmer : as this would generate the pump to be air bound and totally damaged.

The care depends on the weather, on the pool activity and environment.

Wintering

Except for Scandinavia, it is advised not to empty the pool in winter,  two main points :

• to insure that the pool is well insulated
• to maintain as well a pressure in the pool, in order to avoid collapsing and landslide.

You will find herebelow some tips for wintering your pool :

• drop the pool water level by 30 cm in order that the skimmers are empty.
• empty the pump, the pipes and all the parts sensitive to frost (filter,  heatpump, heat exchanger…).
• cut the electrical supply.
• use guizmo plugs in the skimmers and in the pools.
• use products specific to winteringe.
• place a pool cover on your pool.
• place plugs on the outlets.

In the South of  France, where winter is generally  mild, the pool  pumpl can be operationnal during the coldest hours.

In the coldest parts, the lights must be removed from water.
