INSPIRATION STRIRTR REGENCY STRI-RTR I LX DEFINITION ABOVE GROUND POOL ROUND INSTALLATION MANUAL V35033 06.2020 ABOVE GROUND POOL SAFETY PLEASE READ BEFORE INSTALLATION :T. Carefully read, understand and follow all information in this user manual before installing and using the swimming poo These warnings, instructions and safety guidelines address some common risks of water recreation, but they cannot cover all risks and dangers in all cases. Always use caution, common sense and good judgment when enjoying any water activity. RETAIN THIS INFORMATION FOR FUTURE USE. Your pool contains a large quantity of water, and is deep enough to present inherent dangers to life and health unless the following safety rules are strictly observed. First-time users run the highest risk of injury. Make sure everyone understands and encourage all users especially children to learn how to swim. Learn Basic Life Support (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation -CPR) and refresh this knowledge regularly. Instruct all pool users, including children, what to do in case of an emergency. Keep a working phone and a list of emergency phone numbers near the pool. This can make a life-saving difference in the event of an emergency. To ensure your pool is used safely you MUST observe the following safety precautions: 1. NO JUMPING OR DIVING g. KEEP OFF TOP LEDGES The top rail of your pool is not a walkway and must not be used forjumping or diving. Do not Do not walk on top ledges. They can be slippery and they are not a walkway. permit jumping or diving into the pool from a deck or the top rail of the pool. Diving or jumping into the pool can result in serious injury. 2. NEVER USE THE POOL ALONE Never permit the pool to be used unless it is attended by at least one person other than the bather. Someone should always be available to lend assistance in an emergency. Designate a competent adult to supervise the pool each time it is being used. Vigilant supervision of weak swimmers and non -swimmers by a competent adult is required at all times, remembering that children under five are at the highest risk of drowning. 3. NEVER LEAVE CHILDREN UNATTENDED Never leave a child alone and unsupervised in or near the pool —not even for a second. There is no substitute for constant adult supervision. 4. NO ROUGH PLAY Do not permit "roughhousing" in and around your pool. Surfaces can become slippery and hazardous when wet.. 5. LIGHT THE POOL AT NIGHT If the pool is used after dusk, adequate lighting must be provided. Illumination in the pool area must be sufficient to clearly judge pool depth and all features in and around the pool. For light- ing recommendations, consult your local licensed electrical contractor 6. RESTRICT ACCESS TO THE POOL Do not leave chairs or other furniture beside the pool that could be used by a child to climb up into the pool. Ladders must be removed whenever the pool is unattended. A fence with a lockable gate around the pool or yard is strongly recommended and may be required by law in some jurisdictions. Secure doors and windows, where applicable to prevent unauthorized access to the swimming pool. Remove all toys from the swimming pool and surrounding area when not in use to avoid attracting children to the pool. Barriers, pool covers, pool alarms or similar safety devices are helpful aids, but they are not substitutes for continuous adult supervision. 7. NO ALCOHOL OR DRUGS Never drink alcoholic beverages, use any intoxicants or medication which could hinder your judgment and reflexes. 8. KEEP YOUR POOL CLEAN AND SANITARY Your filter system will remove suspended particles from the water and the surface skimmer will remove insects, leaves and other debris from the water surface. Use the correct pool chemicals as directed to destroy harmful bacteria and prevent formation of algae. Remember, unsanitary water is a serious health hazard. is'per,folio, any ejrctimstances!

Never allow anyone, especially small children on the cover. Asphyxiation or drowning could result. Be sure to remove pool cover completely from the water surface before entering the pool. When purchasing any pool cover, please consult a swimming pool professional. 11. ELECTRICAL HAZARD Never touch or attempt to service electrical equipment, including the filter when your body and/ or the ground is wet. Electrocution or permanent Injury due to high voltage (120V AC) could result. The pool should be bonded in accordance with Section 680-26 of the National Electical Code. For further assistance contact your dealer or a local licensed electrician. Do not use pool during electrical or rain storms. 12. SAFETY EQUIPMENT Keep a safety rope 1 /4" by 50" with a flotation buoy with an outside diamter of 15". Have accessible in a prominent area by your pool. Keep a pole not less that 16 feet (4,88m) long with a blunt or hook end available at poolside in case of emergencies. Weak swimmers and non -swimmers should wear personal protection equipment when using the pool. -13. POOL CHEMICALS Store pool chemicals out of the reach of children. Do not place chlorine, chlorine tablets or sticks directly into skimmer, or winterize your pool with liquid chlorine. Damage to the skimmer, pool liner and filter will result. Failure to obey this instruction will void all component warranties. Always follow chemical manufacturer's instructions when storing, handling and dispensing pool chemicals. 14. CHECK FOR DAMAGE Periodically check your pool and ladder components for damage and wear. Be sure all screws are in place. Replace all damaged or worn components and tighten all screws before you use the pool, deck or ladders. At first sign, remove rust and touch up immediately. 15. POOL PARTS Never modify the pool or accessories, or remove or drill holes in the pool, deck or ladder com- ponents unless instructed. Your pool wall is made of thin metal, there is an inherent cut hazard with metal so use gloves during installation. Always use Original Equipment Manufactured parts for your replacement parts.

Observe all Safety Rules Section 1 Page 27 Parts listing GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS - ROUND POOLS GROUND PREPARATION READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY The approximate time it takes for installation, excluding earthworks and filling is about 1/2 day. You will need at least 3 people to help with installation. A. DETERMINE THE LOCATION OF YOUR POOL 1. The Terrain Pay special attention to choosing the right location for your pool: • Choose a large area, as flat and level as possible and well drained. (Image i) • Choose a spot on dry, firm earth (stabilizer or other) —do not install the pool on asphalt, tar or oil based surfaces, gravel, peat moss, wood or chemically treated soil. • Check with your pool dealer to see if Nut Grass grows in your area. This type of grass may grow up through your pool liner. Your dealer will be able to advise how best to treat the site. • Sloped areas will need to be made level by digging away high spots, not by filling low spots —be prepared to hire earth -moving equipment if necessary. (Images 2) • Ensure the earth is well compacted and a wall is placed to prevent the earth from seeping out. (Image 3) • If you need to install partly in the ground, you must contact your dealer to see if this is an option for you and that you meet law requirements in your jurisdiction. (Image 4) Important Note: Ground preparation is one of the most important steps in the installation process. A proper foundation will ensure the rest of the pool assembly goes smoothly and that no problems will occur when the pool is filled with water. 1 No Diving or Jumping. Observe all Safety Rules Section 1 Page 28 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS - ROUND POOLS GROUND PREPARATION A. CONT. DETERMINE THE LOCATION OF YOUR POOL 2. Things to Avoid Do not locate your pool near or on any of the following (Images 5 to 7): • Overhanging tree branches. • Overhead wires and clotheslines. • Buried pipes and wires. Contact your gas, electric and tele- phone utilities to find buried pipes and wires before you dig. • Areas with poor drainage. • Grass, stones and roots. Grass will rot underneath the pool liner, and stones and roots will damage the pool liner. • Areas recently treated with oil -based weed killers, chemi- cals or fertilizers. 3. Plan Ahead • Will you be adding an adjacent deck later? Be sure to leave room. • Will you be using pool accessories or other appliances that need electricity or gas? Locate your pool near these services or plan to have them installed later by a licensed contractor. Important Note: QI,, When locating the centre of the pool, be sure to take into consideration any structures (deck, patio, house) or relevant items (change rooms, gazebo, etc.) that the pool may need to line up with and ensure that the pool is in the most visual pleasing location for your property. wtw"Walvo Overhanging Section 1 No Diving or Jumping.

Drive a peg into the ground at the centre of the area where you want your pool. (Image 1) b. Use a length of string tied between the peg and a can of spray paint, and mark a circle on the ground (a tape measure can also be used). The circle will be 12" (30 cm) bigger all round than the pool. (Image 2) 2. Remove the sod a. Remove all sod and plants from the circle. (Image 3) b. Remove any sticks, stones and roots from the circle using a rake. c. To make sure your pool is stable, compact the ground well, use the compactor, before adding the sand. U Important Note: Your pool must be perfectly level.

Be prepared to hire earth moving equipment if you need to level a large area. Remember, your pool must be level across the diameter of the pool. (Image 7) f. Small dips and hollows may be filled in, but the soil must be hard -packed and well compacted with a tamping tool. g. Take material such as rock dust or fine mortar that can conform a solid, permanent base and deposit this material around the rim of the basin. The material used should be spread around the perimeter of the pool to a width of 24" (60cm) and a thickness of 2" (5cm). (Image 8) Note: Bottom rails will be placed in the center of the perimeter of the pool see the dashed line. (Image 8) h. Recheck the outer perimeter of the circle, where the pool wall will be. Compact the ground and make sure there are no high or low spots. The bottom edge of the pool wall must rest flat on the ground and have no gaps under it. (Image 9) Important Note: The outer 24" (60cm) of the circle must be perfectly flat. The bottom edge of the pool must rest flat on the ground and have no gaps under it.

If you are using the optional patio stones, depending on your model place one bottom plate on each stone. (Image 1) 2. Assemble bottom plates and bottom rails NOTE: Depending on your pool model you may have steel or resin bottom plates. a. Insert the end of each bottom rail into a bottom plate. Leave a gap between the ends of the bottom rails. Steel: Image 2 Resin: Image 3 See Diagram: Please refer to your pool's footprint (Section 1, last page) for gap measurement.; b. Measure the diameter of your pool all around the circle and make sure it is correct. Note: this measurement should be taken from centre to centre of the bottom plate. When the circumference is perfectly round, hammer nails into the ground to keep the bottom rails into place. These nails are to be removed only at the last step -when filling up the pool. Important Note: Use a soft measuring tape to measure around the perimeter of the pool. Measure from the inside of the bottom rail, the measurement should equal the wall length. STEEL BOTTOM RAIL RESIN BOTTOM RAIL No Diving or Jumping. Observe all Safety Rules Section 2 Page 38 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS - ROUND POOLS ASSEMBLING THE POOL WALL A. SETTING UP THE POOL WALL Do not attempt to install the pool wall in the wind, wait for a calm day. It takes at least 3 people to install the pool wall. 1. Preparing for the wall installation a. Bring the following items into the middle of the pool foundation before you start uncoiling the pool wall: plywood, some extra sand or fine dirt to make the cove and a ladder to climb out after the wall is assembled. b. Make sure the skimmer and water return holes are located where you need them to be. The skimmer and water return holes are positioned towards the end of the wall, (the section before where the wall started). QImportant Note: Wall edges, skimmer and water return holes may be sharp, it is important to wear gloves when installing. 2. Set the pool wall in place a. Unpackage the coiled pool wall and stand it on the plywood at the place close to where you need to install the skimmer. (Image 1) (Remember the skimmer and water return holes will be placed at the section just before where you started the wall installation). b. Start uncoiling the wall, guiding the bottom edge into the curved bottom rail. The starting end of the wall must be positioned in the centre of a bottom plate, and the skimmer and return holes should be positioned where the pump and filter will be. (Image 1) c. Set lengths of stabilizer onto the top edge of the wall as you uncoil it. (Image 1) d. We also suggest installing vinyl -covered hooks and rope to hold the wall steady. Ideally the help of several people should be solicited to hold the wall in place. Work around the foundation until the entire pool wall is uncoiled into the bottom rails. (Image 2) e. When uncoiling the wall, the skimmer and return holes are positioned toward the end of the wall. (Image 3) 41 Important Note: It is preferable to use very fine sand that is easily compacted. Be careful not to spill sand on the bottom rails. No Diving or Jumping. Observe all Safety Rules Page 40 Section 3 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS - ROUND POOLS ASSEMBLING THE POOL WALL A. CONT. SETTING UP THE POOL WALL. 3. Join the ends of the pool wall a. Line up the holes in the two ends of the pool wall. (Image 4) b. Now that you have installed the wall you can be faced with three scenarios. 1) The wall joints align perfectly, if so, move on to the next step (c). 2) Your wall appears to be too short. It is not. However the space between the bottom rails must be decreased by lightly tapping the bottom plates towards the inside of the pool. You can also tap the wall lightly with both hands in the desired direction. (Image 5) You MUST recheck the gaps at each and every one of the bottom rails so that they are all equal in gap size. 3) Your wall appears too long. It is not. However the space between the bottom rails must be increased by tapping the bottom plates lightly towards the outside of the pool or by tapping the wall with both hands in the desired direction. (Image 6) You MUST recheck the gaps at each and every one of the bottom rails so that they are all equal in gap size. Important Note: Bottom rails must always be held in place in the bottom plate.

Observe all Safety Rules Page 41 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS - ROUND POOLS ASSEMBLING THE POOL WALL A. CONT. SETTING UP THE POOL WALL c. To fasten the wall joint, overlap the two steel bars, one on the inside and the other on the outside. Tighten the mechanical screws on the inside and the nuts on the p outside. Ensure that all botis and all the holes are used. Exterior (Image 7) -, Important Note: Stick a screwdriver through two of the holes to help line up the ends of the wall. When tightening the screws start from either the top and go down or vice versa. Do not start a few screws from top and a few from the bottom to meet in the middle, this can cause problems later on. d. Adjusting the pool to the proper shape may cause the bottom rails and bottom plates to slip out of alignment a little. Recheck all of the bottom plates to make sure each one is centred where the bottom rails meet. e. Cover the seam and bolt heads on the inside/interior of the pool wall completely with 2" (50mm) duct tape. (Image 8) 4. Make sure the pool wall is round a. Using a tape measure, measure across the circle at each bottom plate. The pool wall must be round. Adjust the circle by nudging the base plates in or out with your foot. (Image 9) Important Note: The pool must be level across the perimeter. A pool that is not level is dangerous and may collapse. N interior No Diving or Jumping. Observe all Safety Rules Section 3 Page 42 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS - ROUND POOLS ASSEMBLING THE POOL WALL B. ASSEMBLING THE COVE 1. Make the cove a. If you are using sand, bank the sand against the wall to form a cove of 3" to 6" (7.5cm to 15cm) high and 8" to 12" (20cm to 30cm) wide at ground level. This will prevent the liner from creeping under the wall, and it will also protect the liner from any metal edges of the pool framework. THIS STEP IS NOT OPTIONAL, IT MUST BE DONE. (Image 10) NOTE: If a smaller cove (less than 3" (7.5cm)) is made along with using a very tight liner, this will buckle the wall. b. Water the sand to compact it and use a trowel to spread it evenly. (Image 11) c. Since earth containing chemicals can cause discoloration or corrosion, it is suggested that you place polyethylene plastic sheeting under the cove around the perimeter of the wall, so no earth comes in contact with the metal. Since the presence of such chemicals is beyond the control of the manufacturer, such damage is not covered under warranty. (Image 12) d. If you are using styrofoam cove pieces instead of sand, insert them in the bottom rail and refer to the installation instructions that are provided with them. e.

You must now install the filter and pump, the skimmer and water return inlet.Please follow the installation instructions that come with these products. LU Important Note: Before making any openings in the liner, fill the pool with 60cm (24") of water to stretch the liner fully. When filling your pool, begin with a garden hose until there is about 30cm (12") of water in the pool. This will allow the liner to stretch gradually. You can then use a heavier flow to finish filling it up. IMPORTANT: Make sure that your pool is round, do not assume that by filling up the pool that this will help the pool to place itself into a perfect round circle. Ensure that it is round before filling up the pool with water. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION: Please refer to the safety page at the beginning of this instruction manual.

Wash periodically with a mild soap solution (no abrasives). At least once a year use a clear non -yellowing household wax on all metal components. Your pool and liner must be inspected regularly for leaks, corrosion, scratches, and punctures. If any problem is found IMMEDIATE CORRECTIVE ACTION MUST BE TAKEN. Small repairs and punctures in your liner may be easily repaired using repair kits available at your local dealer. Scratches on your pool wall & frame must be touched up with anti -rust enamel. Wire brush all rust and add a coat of enamel primer followed by a coat of color matching paint. Pool water is full of various caustic chemicals, which will corrode metal parts. If any corrosion is allowed to continue, failure of the pool structure may occur which could result in excessive property damage as well as bodily harm. The skimmer & return area and below it are particular areas that must be carefully and regularly inspected. If this area is wet, and remains wet for any length of time, it usually means there is a small leak. Skimmer/skimmer return gaskets must be replaced when they become defective. Water must not be permitted to continually run down the wall, if neglected pool will break. If proper skimmer/skimmer return gasket care is not maintained, your warranty will be void! Important Note: Be sure to follow all local and state safety regulations when installing any accessory to your pool. Any decks, and all entries, must be carefully monitored for safety and access to pool. Installing any other manufacturer's deck or slide is strictly forbidden! No Diving or Jumping. Observe all Safety Rules Section 5 Page 53 POOL MAINTENANCE WINTERIZING YOUR POOL Along with the cool nights of autumn comes the end of the swimming season pool is subject to more stress than in the summer, and winter procedures is not subject to any warranty with this company. All of our pools are designed to be left up all winter, but not to the warranty that was purchased. Continue to chlorinate pool is closed down. If you follow our recommendations, winterize your pool properly in a few hours. Properly winterizing your pool will protect it from damage make it easier for you to reopen it when spring arrives. The key to fast and easy winterization lies in regular treatrr of the water until the start of the cold season, even if haven't been using the pool. Routine maintenance becomes easier and less frequent as the water gets cooler. In order to keep the water clean and clear and to prevent the liner from staining, we recommend closing your pool as late as possible, i.e. toward the end of September when the water temperature is about 10°C (50°F). Waiting until you have finished closing the pool bef shutting off the filtration system will prevent hoses still connected from freezing. Follow the instructions on the following pages or contact your retailer for further information to ensure that you are protecting your pool properly. . During the winter your Section 5 No Diving or Jumping. Observe all Safety Rules Page 54 POOL MAINTENANCE CLOSING YOUR ABOVE GROUND POOL FOR THE WINTER At the end of the season, you must follow these directions to make your pool ready for the winter. For areas where water freezes make sure to follow these instructions before the water is frozen, otherwise do not touch the frozen water, this may damage the pool. STEP 1) PRIOR TO CLOSING a. Several days prior to closing your pool, test the water for the ph level, total alkalinity, and chloring. The water balance is important to protect the pool from corrosion or scale build-up during winter shut down. STEP 2) PERFORM A COMPLETE INSPECTION FINDING LEAKS a. Towards the end of the summer season or around mid -August, check for leaks by verifying if the pool's water level is stable. Draw a line on the liner marking the water level and wait 10 days. If after 10 days the level has dropped, then there is a leak. It is important to seal off any leaks you find. Leaks left unsealed when freezing begins can seriously damage your pool and even cause it to collapse. b. Vacuum carefully to remove all leaves and debris. CHECK THE LINER a. Make sure the top of the liner is still attached to the pool wall. make sure there are no leaks. Repair any liner holes with a vinyl patch: any small punctures in the liner can be easily repaired with underwater repair kits available at your local retailer. Do not remove the liner from the pool, as removal of the liner will void the existing warranty. CHECK ALL JOINTS AND SCREWS a. Make sure all the frame joints are fitting together properly and make sure the pool wall has not shifted from the bottom rail. Ensure all screws and bolts are tight. CHECK FOR RUST a. Periodically inspect the metal parts for any corrosion especially around the skimmer area. If corrosion is found, immediate corrective action must be taken. Wire brush any rust and add a coat of enamel primer followed by a coat of color matching anti -rust enamel paint. Pool structure failure could result in major property damage and bodily harm. Paint any scratches with anti -rust paint. No Diving or Jumping. Observe all Safety Rules Section 5 Page 55 POOL MAINTENANCE CLOSING YOUR ABOVE GROUND POOL FOR THE WINTER CONTINUED STEP 3) ADD CLOSING CHEMICALS a. To maintain water quality, use a winter kit which contains an algicide and chlorine especially designed for this purpose. When it's time for spring cleaning, this will save you hours of work and reduce the cost of chemicals needed to restore your water quality. b. If your pool has a bottom drain, you will have to use pool antifreeze to prevent it from freezing during the winter. Unscrew the hose from the base of the skimmer and attach an extension. Pass the extension over the wall of the pool, making sure it remains well attached. Pour antifreeze into the extension. Leave the valve open so that water can drain from the skimmer. STEP 4) LOWER THE WATER LEVEL a. Lower the water level so as to leave between 6 to 20 inches (15cm to 50cm) below the water return. You may plug the return jet hole at this time. **IMPORTANT**DO NOT PLUG THE SKIMMER DRAIN HOLE (located at the base of the skimmer). Remove all hoses attached to the skimmer and return fittings. Do not let water freeze in the skimmer. Leave the skimmer attached to the pool wall and ensure that the skimmer lid is installed. DO NOT DRAIN ALL THE WATER OUT OF THE POOL. b. Depending on your area and if the freezing point is more aggressive, for example 50% is frozen into ice, we strongly suggest to lowering the water to lowest point. Depending on how great the deep freeze in your area we suggest you consult with your local dealer about procedures on lowering the water level throughout the winter. We also suggest throughout the autumn season to continually check this level before freezing season starts, as it must not reach the skimmer holes at any time during the winter. Remove any snow which may accumulate on the top ledge. STEP 5) FILTER PREPARATION a. Disconnect the hoses from the filter. Remove and store the filter, ladder and all other removable parts from around the pool. The filter should be clear of any foreign objects and water should be removed from the filter and pump. See the manufacturer's instructions. Store the pump in a temperature controlled environment (so that it is not damaged by changes in temperature). STEP 6) WINTER COVER a. For the winter cover we suggest to lower the water level to 1 inch (2.5cm) below the water return. In some areas your dealer may ask you to install it differently in order to protect the pool and the cover. Contact your local dealer to verify the correct procedure for your pool. b. If using a winter cover, make sure to place a ball underneath so that rainwater falls into the pool. An accumulation of too much water on the cover could place pressure on the pool, causing damage and invalidating the guarantee. Depending on how great the deep freeze in your area we suggest you consult with your local dealer about procedures on leaving the pool cover throughout the winter. Section 5 No Diving or Jumping. Observe all Safety Rules Page 56 POOL MAINTENANCE CLOSING YOUR ABOVE GROUND POOL FOR THE WINTER CONTINUED '1. IMPORTANT Never let more than 30 cm (1') of snow accumulate on the pool wall; the wall is designed to support the lateral pressure of the pool water, not vertical pressure. With spring thaw, if water leaks from the skimmer or return outlet opening, place a tube at the opening so that the water will run off as far away from the basin of the pool as possible. PLEASE NOTE: Do not strike or hit a frozen pool. This would damage it. Do not disturb the pool till spring. If you have left the winter cover on the pool, make sure to remove accumulated snow after heavy snowfalls. 1 Important Note: Whatever -the type of valve or extension hose used, you must follow the technique described in this document to close your pool, otherwise your guarantee may be cancelled. Make sure to use antifreeze designed for pools. 1 Important Note: An unsealed leak may comprise or cancel the guarantee on your pool. Never leave water in any of the filtration system components due to the risk of damage during freezing. No Diving or Jumping. Observe all Safety Rules Section 5 Page 57 POOL MAINTENANCE PREPARING YOUR POOL IN THE SPRING At the end of winter, allow the ice in the pool to thaw completely. When the temperature reaches approximately 10 °C (50 T), you have to restart your filtration system, since algae and bacterial form more quickly as it gets warmer. Here is how to prepare your pool in a few simple easy steps. If your pool. is equipped with a pool cover, remove the cover and cushion. Carefully remove with a hose any rainwater that has accumulated on the cover so it does not fall into your pool. Clean your cover and cushion and let them dry. Store them in a dry clean place., Attach the return inlet and skimmer to the filter. Bring the water level up to the middle of the skimmer. Get your filter working. Clean the bottom of the pool with the vacuum, taking care to place the filter in the "waste/drain" position. In this way you will eliminate particles of dirt without disturbing the sand in the filter, and will considerably reduce the need for "backwash rinsing" of the filter. Now that you have purified the water, you have to test it. It is very important that the pH level of your pool be between 7.6 and 7.8 and the pool's alkaline content be between 80 ppm and 130 ppm. If you are unable to attain these levels, please contact your retailer who will gladly do these tests for you. Section 5 No Diving or Jumping. Observe all Safety Rules Page 58 POOL MAINTENANCE PREPARING YOUR POOL IN THE SPRING CONTINUED When the pH and alkaline levels are ideal, apply a shock -treatment or chlorinate your water. Let it filter for 24 hours and again verify both the pH and free chlorine levels. NOTE: Add chemical products to your pool after sunset, as sunlight rapidly destroys chlorine. Ah Let it filter for several days until the water is clear and the pH and free chlorine levels have stabilized. Add a conditioner/stabilizer by carefully following the manufacturer's instructions. This will stop the chlorine from evaporating quickly in sunlight. Add the quantity of algicide required to prevent algae. You may now begin regular maintenance of your pool. Don't forget to obtain a new set of solutions for your water analysis kit every spring. The old solutions may give false results. Make sure that the skimmer (screws and adapter) is properly in place and tighten the water return fittings to prevent leakage and premature rusting of the pool wall or the lower part of the bottom rail. No Diving or Jumping. Observe all Safety Rules Section 5 Page 59
