POOL CARE GUIDE

Water Balance Important factors of proper water balance. ph ph is the most important factor controlling your pool water balance. It refers to the measure of the relative acid or base of the pool water and should be tested daily. If ph is too high ph values above 7.6 will lead to cloudy water, staining, scale deposits, filtration problems and reduces chlorine efficiency. If ph is too low ph values below 7.4 may lead to corrosion of metallic pipes, etched plaster, rapid loss of chlorine residual and possible irritation to swimmers. Ideal ph To maintain an ideal ph level in your pool water, use Haviland ph Increaser when the ph drops below 7.4. When the ph level rises above 7.6, use Haviland ph Reducer. As the owner of a swimming pool, you understand the importance of maintaining a clean, sparkling pool. Haviland chemicals and your authorized Haviland Dealer can help you keep your pool the way you want it clean, safe and FUN! This guide explains basic pool care, balancing your pool as well as opening and closing your pool. We also address some common pool water problems and how to solve them quickly and safely. Your pool is a big part of family fun and a big investment too. Don t risk your summer fun with just any pool chemicals. Rely on Haviland, a name you can trust to deliver top quality products which are the best for your pool. Our authorized dealers are professionals and are there to help you. Take a few minutes to read through this guide, then keep it handy for quick reference. If you need extra help, your Haviland Dealer is there for you. Have fun and enjoy your pool. Table of Contents Water Balance........................ 1 Pumps & Filtration..................... 3 Opening Your Pool..................... 4 Maintenance Program................... 6 Algae Control........................ 7 Shock Your Pool....................... 8 Closing Your Pool...................... 9 Trouble Shooting Chart................. 10 Pool Capacity........................ 10 Haviland Products..................... 12 Total Alkalinity Total alkalinity is the measure of your pool water s ability to resist change in ph. Alkalinity does not have to be tested on a daily basis. This is a measure of the buffering capacity or the ability of pool water to resist a change in ph. High Total Alkalinity When the total alkalinity is higher than its ideal range the ph will tend to slowly creep up and resist efforts to change. Low Total Alkalinity When the total alkalinity is lower than its ideal range, the ph is likely to bounce from one extreme to the other and it will be difficult to keep the ph in the proper range. Ideal Alkalinity If the total alkalinity of your pool drops below its ideal range use Haviland Total Alkalinity Increaser. If the total alkalinity rises too high add Haviland ph Reducer. Calcium Hardness Calcium Hardness is the amount of dissolved calcium in your pool water. Your Haviland authorized dealer should test your pool water for calcium hardness at the beginning of each season. High Calcium Hardness Calcium hardness above 300 ppm can cause calcium to precipitate from the water causing cloudy conditions and scale deposits. Low Calcium Hardness Calcium hardness below 180 ppm may lead to corrosion or premature wear of pool surfaces. Ideal Calcium Hardness If the calcium hardness level in your pool rises above 300 ppm, the use of Haviland Rust-N-Scale will prevent cloudy water and hard water scale. A low calcium hardness level can be corrected by adding Haviland Water Hardness Increaser. 1

Water Balance Stain Producing Metals Iron, copper, silver and manganese are metals which commonly cause colored water or stains in pools. If you are fortunate enough to have ideal fill water, and a properly constructed and maintained pool, these would not be a problem. Since ideal conditions rarely exist, we recommend the regular use of a good metal removal agent like Haviland Rust-N-Scale to continually protect the pool against stain producing metals. Sanitizing Your Pool Water Disinfection is an essential element of any pool water treatment program. Haviland chlorinated products are designed to disinfect your pool water by releasing free chlorine into the pool water to control germs and microorganisms, algae and organic matter. The best method for maintaining a proper chlorine level in pools is by using one of the Haviland stabilized chlorine products. These products contain additional stabilizer to continuously replenish any which is lost from backwashing and splash out. They also contain a much higher percentage of available chlorine than liquid chlorine products and do not alter the hardness level. Because water conditions change rapidly, it is very important to test the water every day for chlorine residual. The free available chlorine reading should be 1-3 ppm. You should also test ph at the same time. Protect your chlorine from sunlight. At the start of each season, test your pool for stabilizer content, and if necessary add Haviland Stabilizer following label directions. Sunlight will rapidly destroy chlorine residual in outdoor pools unless the pool water is stabilized. Stabilizer, technically known as Cyanuric Acid, will shield your chlorine from rapid destruction by sunlight. Pumps & Filtration The heart of any circulation system is the pump. Together with the filter, these two components fuction to provide uniform distribution of chemicals and removal of dirt, leaves and other debris. An efficient circulation system needs to be operated for a proper amount of time each day to assure sparkling clear water. You can care for the system by making sure the pump and skimmer baskets are clean and by cleaning or backwashing the filter. Be sure to follow the filter and pump manufacturer s recommendations. Should problems arise, contact your authorized Haviland dealer for help. Pump For efficient operation, always make sure your skimmer and main drain lines are free of blockage. Check your skimmer basket and hair and lint trap frequently for debris. You should also make sure pool water is at the proper level to assure a free flow of water to the pump in order to avoid damage to the pump motor. Filter You must periodically clean or backwash your filter. Check your pressure gauge reading and consult your manufacturer s manual for the correct method for periodically cleaning and backwashing your filter. To assist in cleaning your filter, use Haviland Liquid Filter Cleaner. Heater Have your heater checked each season by a pool service company. For lighting the pilot and general operating instructions, refer to your manufacturer s guide. Keep in mind that if the filter is not working properly or the water is restricted, your heater may not fuction properly. Automatic Feeder Prior to use, clean out any residue and make sure all lines are free of restrictions. Use only the type of chemical recommended by the manufacturer. Never mix different types of chemicals in a feeder or automatic chlorinator. This will eliminate the possibility of an explosion and injury. Ideal Ranges ph 7.4-7.6 Total Alkalinity Gunite Pools 80-120 ppm Vinyl or Other 125-150 ppm Metals Activator Stabilizer (Cyanuric Acid) 0 ppm 50 ppm 30-50 ppm Pool Cleaning Equipment Use as often as necessary to maintain a clean, clear pool. Most cleaning units are designed to operate when the filtration system is running, so make sure your filter and pump are working properly. Cleaning equipment made of plastic should be stored away from sunlight. Keep equipment away from your deck area to avoid tripping. Calcium Hardness Gunite Pools Vinyl or Other 250-300 ppm 180-250 ppm Chlorine Bromine 1-3 ppm 3-5 ppm 2 3

Opening Your Pool Step 4 Check Your Pool s Equipment & Plumbing Before starting your pump and filter system be sure all lines are open. Make sure the pump and skimmer baskets are in place and free of debris. Follow manufacturer s guidelines for starting up your heater, filter and pump. Finally, always start the season with a clean filter. Haviland Liquid Filter Cleaner dissolves oil, hair and scale from sand, diatomaceous and cartridge filters. Step 5 Remove Debris from Pool Bottom Remove leaves, twigs and other large debris from the pool s bottom using a Leaf Rake. If you can t see the pool bottom it is important that you perform this step especially well. Because chlorine shock seeks out contaminants to oxidize, leaves will consume much of the chlorine residual. A cloudy pool which is free of debris is much easier to clear up and shock treatment is much more effective. Step 6 Start Your Filtration System & Vacuum Once your pool is full, start the filter and circulate the water. Add Haviland Filter Helper following the directions. This will help your filter remove small particles. Then hook up your vacuum system and manually vacuum the entire pool and brush the walls. Opening Your Pool Step 1 Remove Your Pool Cover If you have a winter cover, drain as much of the water sitting on top of the cover as possible before removing it. Once the cover is off, use Haviland Pool-N-Tile to remove dirt and grime on pool surfaces. Step 2. Have Your Fill Water Tested By first testing your fill water, your Haviland dealer can tell you of possible problems before they occur. Check on your progress by bringing a water sample to your dealer once you ve completed these steps. Step 3 Add Water Add enough fresh water to your pool to bring the water level to the desired height. Step 7 Shock Your Pool When the pool is free of debris and has re-circulated overnight, shock treat the water by adding any Haviland brand shock to the pool. Be sure to follow the label directions for the proper way to introduce the shock treatment to your pool. Step 8 Stabilize Your Pool Water Pool water needs to be stabilized or conditioned to prevent the rapid loss of chlorine by the sun s UV rays. Add the recommended amount of Haviland Stabilizer by dissolving it in a bucket of water before adding it to the pool. This will help reduce chlorine usage throughout the season. Step 9 Chlorinate Your Pool Now you can chlorinate your pool with one of Haviland s Stabilized Chlorine Products. When starting up your pool for the season, use twice the normal dosage indicated for your pool s capacity or use an automatic feeder. Allow pool water to re-circulate overnight. Step 10 Prevent Algae By adding Haviland Algae Kil 50 or Haviland Combat 60 or any other Haviland algaecide, you not only kill existing algae but also prevent algae from entering your pool. 4 5

Maintenance Program Daily Use a test kit or test strips to test both the chlorine residual and ph. The free available chlorine reading should be 1-3 ppm and the recommended range for ph is 7.4-7.6. Weekly Add the following Haviland water care chemicals at the suggested label dosage and according to label directions. 1. Add Haviland Rust-N-Scale and circulate the water for 1 hour. 2. Then add the Haviland sanitizer product of your choice and continue water circulation. 3. Shock treat the water with one of the Haviland shock treatment products. Be sure to follow the instructions on the label. 4. After 1 hour of circulation, add Haviland Algae Kil 50 or Haviland Combat 60 to prevent algae growth. 5. Vacuum the pool and clean surface areas with Haviland Pool-N-Tile. 6. Check the pressure gauge on your filter to see if it has reached the point where it must be backwashed or cleaned. The more your pool is used, the more disinfectant it will require and the more frequently the filter must be backwashed or cleaned. After these steps are taken, your pool should be sparkling clean, crystal clear, and ready for use. Algae Control Algae are microscopic aquatic plants which are constantly being introduced into the pool water from the atmosphere. If not kept under control, algae can discolor your pool water, clog your filter, create unpleasant odors and produce slimy, slippery walls and floors. Algae growth is usually established during times when the disinfectant level or algaecide content in the water is low or neglected. If an algae problem exists, the filtration system should be run continuously and the pool surface should be brushed daily. This will remove dead layers of algae and allow the chemicals to combat the remaining layers of algae growth. Algae, once visible, can be difficult to remove from any pool. If you are faced with this unsightly dilemma, you should consult your local dealer for the best products for your pool. TYPE of ALGAE AND TREATMENT GREEN ALGAE The most common. It is identified by a cloudy green appearance of the water. TREATMENT: ADD Haviland Algae Kil 50 or Haviland Combat 60 according to instructions. MuSTARD ALGAE A difficult algae to control that feeds on chlorine. It is identified by the cloudy greenish-yellow color of the water. Sometimes water can look clear while leaving a wispy film at the pools bottom. TREATMENT: ADD Haviland Mustard Eliminator according to instructions. BLACK ALGAE Identified by very dark green slippery patches clinging to floors and walls. TREATMENT: ADD Haviland Combat Extra or Haviland Algae Kil CB7 according to instructions. PINK ALGAE Frequently called Red Algae or Pink Slime. This is actually a bacterium that cannot be prevented by algaecides. The best prevention is maintaining adequate chlorine residual and shocking the pool weekly. If you do have issues controlling or eliminating this algae you should contact your local dealer for assistance. 6 7

Shock Your Pool Organic matter enters your pool through a variety of sources. Swimmers, rainfall and leaves all contribute contaminants which place a demand on the chlorine in your pool. Chlorine reacts to the presence of these contaminants by combining with them to form compounds known as combined chlorine. These compounds are responsible for the obnoxious odors, skin irritations and eye-burn problems frequently misinterpreted as being too much chlorine in the pool. In reality, there is not enough chlorine to oxidize and eliminate the organic matter. The only solution to this situation is shock treating the pool. Haviland offers many kinds of pool water shock treatment products. The contents of these products are different but all provide excellent shock treating capabilities. We have highlighted some of our most popular shock treatments below. If needed, your local dealer can help you decide which shock is best for you and your pool. Regardless of which product you use, always carefully follow the product directions. Multi Shock is our easy to use product that sanitizes, shocks, clarifies, and buffers pool water. It minimizes wait time after shocking pool water. ultra Shock Plus is one of our most powerful shock treatments. It is recommended when high levels of free chlorine are needed. Because of the super chlorinating characteristics of pool shock, swimming is not recommended until the free chlorine has dropped down to approximately 2 ppm. Crystal Shock is designed to oxidize pool water contaminants without raising the free chlorine level to unsafe limits. It is safe to use in vinyl-lined pools where pool surface protection is an absolute must. Crystal Shock will not cloud pool water, no matter the water temperature. Wipeout is a powerful oxidizer which destroys organic matter in the water and prevents the formation of combined chlorine. Since it contains no chlorine, swimming may resume in 15 minutes after use. Quick Shock is a popular choice for shock treatment. It contains stabilized chlorine which dissolves quickly and is a strong algae killer. Helpful Hints For Shocking Your pool should be shocked after heavy bather loads, long periods of hot weather and after heavy rains. By shocking your pool, you will eliminate chlorine odors and ensure a clean, healthy pool. Shock should always be added to the deep end of your pool preferably at night. Chlorinated shock is more effective if it is not subject to the sun s UV rays. Closing Your Pool Step 1 Check the ph Winterizing your pool correctly can make spring start up a snap. To begin, check the ph level and bring it into ideal range (7.4-7.6) by using Haviland ph Increaser or Haviland ph Reducer. Step 2 Superchlorinate and Add Algaecide Either Haviland Quick Shock, ultra Shock Plus or Crystal Shock are recommended for this step. By raising the chlorine level and adding the proper dosage of algaecide, your pool will remain algae-free during the fall and winter months. Step 3 Brush the Pool Walls and Vacuum Wipe away any waterline stain on the pool s walls by using Haviland Pool-N-Tile. Then, after all ladders and other movable objects have been removed, brush and vacuum. Be sure to follow this step by thoroughly backwashing the filter. Step 4 Lower the Water Level Following the manufacturer s instructions, partially drain your pool. Usually just below the skimmer or approximately 18 is recommended. Drain all water from the pump, filter, heater, hoses and pipes to protect from freezing. Most in-ground pools require that the lines be blown out and plugged. A non-toxic anti-freeze can also be placed in the lines to help ensure that any water left in the line won t freeze and rupture the pipe. Be certain to follow your pool manufacturer s instructions for proper method of protecting the underground lines of your pool. Step 5 Cover your Pool A good quality cover is one of the best investments a pool owner can make. A pool cover will protect your pool from leaves, sticks and other debris that not only can puncture a vinyl liner but stain any type of pool surface. Add Haviland Rust-N-Scale for added assurance against staining during the winter months. For further assistance in closing your pool, contact your authorized Haviland dealer.
