Follow the Bioguard 3-step program: Sanitize, Oxidize and add Algaecide
Brush walls and floor after chemical additions
Brush down walls and floors, especially dead spots
Need to lose water? Do it on waste, not backwash

We do not recommend muriatic acid for cleaning salt cells, use a proper cell cleaner.
Keep pump and skimmer baskets clean
Balance your pool water and bring a water sample in for testing once a month
Keeping your pool balanced will extend the life of all metal equipment in contact with the water and should always be closely maintained to avoid voiding warranties
Going on vacation? Shock the pool and leave the solar blanket off
Bring liquid pool chemicals inside for the winter
High pH leads to scaling
Low pH and alkalinity cause corrosion
