Whenever fresh water is added to a pool (such as when you first fill up) you need to "shock dose"

Shock dosing means adding a high concentration of chlorine as this removes any bacteria or contamination.

You need to wait 24 hours after shock doing your pool before moving onto the next steps.

Before using your pool, test the water and make sure the chemical balance reads as follows:

• Total Alkalinity - 80‑120 ppm
• pH levels - 7.2‑7.6
• Free Chlorine - 1-3 ppm

Occasionally, you will need to make some adjustments to chemical balance the levels so that your pool water is safe to use.

Your pool filter plays an important part in keeping your pool's water clean.

Regularly clean and replace your pool filter and your water will stay cleaner for longer.

Just like when you go to a public swimming pool, we recommend showering before using your Bestway pool.
