Sizing Your Pool Properly sizing your pool will determine the correct amount of NISSAN HLT-90 and

other chemicals you will need. Here is a simple chart to figure out your pool capacity.

There are three basic types of filtration system. They are a) diatomaceous earth (DE) filter, b) sand filter and C) cartridge filter. All filter systems have the same performance. Pool water is drawn through a skimmer or a drain and pumped through a filter which removes visible contaminants that come into the pool. Your must operate the filter system at least 4 turns of total water per day in order to remove wastes effectively.

Filtration / pump operation hours = Pool water volume (M3) x 4 turns / Filtration capacity. Please keep in mind that by filtering in proper way, you will help avoid contaminant build-up and save on chemical costs. For sand or DE filter, you should clean up oils and other organic matters that may lodged in the filter regularly by back washing. For cartridge filter, you should replace the cartridge periodically. Occasionally you may need to apply a clarified to help your filter trap small particles that may be passing through the system.

When you start up your pool, follow these simple steps to get your pool water in a proper condition. Water drain First; drain water to clean your pool. Brushing your pool After draining, brush dirty walls and bottom using detergent. Water charge When you finish cleaning your pool, charge water to proper level and run the filter. Chlorine control

After filling water, add NISSAN HLT-90 according to the chart on page Routine Water Maintenance

Water Balance Your pool is designed to hold the same water for many years. You filter it and chemically treat it over and over again. During this period of time the water can drift out of balance and cause corrosion, scaling or even stains to appear. You can easily prevent these problems by paying attention to the basics of water balance. PH PH is measure of water acidity and basicity. It is measured on a scale of 0.0 to 14.0 PH should be maintained between 7.0 and 7.5, which is the ideal zone for equipment protection, sanitizer effectiveness and swimming comfort. Adjust PH 7.0-7.5 before shock treatment for maximum chlorine effectiveness. A PH below 6.5 can cause skin and eye irritation, equipment corrosion and increased sanitizer demand. Values above 7.8 reduce sanitizer effectiveness and may also result in eye irritation, cloudy water and scaling. Total Alkalinity Total alkalinity is the measurement of bicarbonates, carbonates and hydroxides in pool water. These elements help stabilize PH. Total alkalinity should be maintained between 50 and 100 ppm. Total alkalinity below 50 ppm may make pool water PH be difficult to maintain. Total alkalinity above 100 ppm may cause cloudy water or scale. Free Available Chlorine Free available chlorine is a measure of sanitizer effectiveness. It should be between 1.0 and 1.5 parts per million (ppm).

To keep your pool clean and sanitized, use this chart to determine dosage Chlorine Control

Dosage Point: 1. Direct 2. Balancing tank 3. Skimmer Dosage Interval: Feed the charted quantity in two dosage.

PH Control PH(+) adjuster (Soda ash)

Example: A (PH=5.5) read B, read C (3kg) This is the dosage volume when PH is 5.5. PH (-) adjuster ( Sodium bisulphate )

Example: A (PH=8.5) read B, read C (2.5kg) This is the dosage volume when PH is 8.5. Total Alkalinity If the total alkalinity is below 50ppm, add Sodium bicarbonate (not Soda ash) or Magnesium oxide (MgO, PH Flats). Dose these chemicals through balancing tank, hair catcher or skimmer. Standard dosage is as follows. Sodium bicarbonate: 6kg / month for 100 M3 of water. Magnesium oxide: 2kg / month for 100 M3 of water. Super Chlorination & Shock Treatment Both super Chlorination and shock treatment are higher dosages of chlorine than required for daily swimming pool treatment. (NISSAN HLT-60 is suitable for these treatments.) Super Chlorination is the periodic (twice a month) addition of chlorine 5.0~10.0 ppm to eliminate combined chlorine (chloramines) which are associated with burning eyes and odors. Shock treatment is the remedial addition of available chlorine (same concentration as super chlorination) to kill algae, remove organic contaminants.

Algaecides are good treatments to prevent or kill algae growth. Algae spores are constantly coming into your pool from rain, wind and dust storms and they increase quickly in sunlight and warm water. Routine chlorination cannot, sometimes, cope with the rapid growth of an algae "appear". These algae can come up green and brown in color. By the time algae has appeared here are millions of algae cells in swimming pool.

NEVER MIX OR CONTAMINATE DIFFERENT TYPES OF CHLORINE AND OTHER CHEMICALS. MIXING OR CONTAMINATE MAY CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION.

Keep out of the reach of children. All chemical container should be sealed tightly after use. Wash hands thoroughly after handling chemicals. Never mix pool chemicals together. Never add water to chemicals. Always add chemicals to enough water. Store chemicals according to label instructions.
