GETTING STARTED DAY 1.
Figure out how many gallons of water your pool holds
by going to google and typing in "pool gallon calculator".
Write it down somewhere, (on the outside of the pump or filter is a good spot).
Adjust the alkalinity between 80 and 110.
Adjust the pH to approx. 7.2.
Always start with clean fresh water. If you haven’t drained and refilled the pool
and there is any visible algae or a chance there is any algae (greener than
normal water) in the pool, it is recommended you shock with 1lb of chlorine per
10,000 gallons of water and use a non-metallic algaecide according to the
directions on the bottle. Scrub any visible
algae with a brush and circulate your pool for 24 hours.
GETTING STARTED DAY 2:
Back wash and or clean filter.
Remove any chlorine or bromine tablets.
Check and adjust the pH if needed to 7.2.
ADDING THE NATURAL SOLUTION POOL TREATMENT:
PLEASE ADD THE TREATMENT SLOW, A LITTLE BIT AND TEST,
A LITTLE BIT AND TEST. USE A BUCKET FULL OF WATER! THE BEST COPPER TEST STRIPS I HAVE FOUND ARE
"POOL CHECK 3 IN 1 TEST STRIPS BY INDUSTRIAL TEST SYSTEMS. YOU CAN GET
THEM ON AMAZON AND I WILL HAVE THEM SOON.
OR, IF YOUR WILLING TO SPEND THE MONEY THE LAMOTTE COLOR Q 9 IS WHAT I
USE AND IT IS SUPER ACCURATE. BUT COSTS
AROUND $200. ANY COLOR Q TESTER WILL
WORK, JUST ORDER THE COPPER TESTING TABLETS SEPARATELY IF THEY DON'T COME WITH
THE TEST KIT.
Make sure the pool circulation system is running. When
you add the treatment to the pool you must do it very slowly in 1/4 cup doses for pools under 5000 gallons, 1/2 cup doses
for pools under 15,000 gallons, and 1 cup doses for pools over 15,000
gallons. We do it very slowly adding small amounts of product so we don't
use to much product, just in case the gallon of water in the pool was not
calculated correctly. It might seem slow and irritating to do it this way
but if you put too much in at once it won't mix properly and could stain the
pool surface. When the strip starts changing colors reduce your dose amount by 1/2. Please remember slower is better until you get to 1.0ppm.
You start by measuring 1/2 cup of pool treatment in a
measuring cup and pour it into a clean bucket. Fill the bucket approx.
1/2 to 3/4 full, (make sure you are able to lift the bucket with that much
water in it and walk around the pool slowly, if you can't find someone that is
strong enough). Slowly walk around the pool pouring the contents of the
bucket into the water. Wait 1/2 hour and test the water with a copper test strip, you want the copper ppm to be between 1.0 to 1.5, repeat the process with another
1/2 cup of the pool treatment. Test the pool water with a copper test strip
after circulating your pool for 1/2 hour to verify copper ppm in between 1.0pmm
and 1.5ppm. If it isn't keep repeating by adding 1/4 cup or smaller
amounts of pool product and test after 1/2 hour until the test strip shows between
1.0ppm and 1.5ppm. Do it slow it is worth your time. Always aim for 1.0 ppm, you can adjust it later if needed, and go slow, slow, slow, trust me its worth it. Add wait test, add wait test, same with adjusting your pH.
Testing your pH is an important factor when using this
product. The optimum pH for our pool
treatment is 7.2. Keep an eye on it.
The table below is approx. always add the product
slowly until you reach in between 1.0ppm and 1.5ppm of copper.

MAINTAINING YOUR POOL
WEEKLY:
1. Check pH and maintain
between 7.0 and 7.2.
2. Clean the filter if
you have a cartridge filter.
MONTHLY:
1. Back wash filter if
needed.
2. Test the pool with a
copper test strip, if the amount of copper is less than 1.0ppm add 1/4 cup of
pool product in a bucket with water and slowly pour into the pool. Test
again in 1/4 hour and continue adding product 1/4 cup at a time until the
copper test strip reads between 1.0ppm and 1.5ppm.
3. Check and adjust pH
between 7.0 and 7.2.
