Important: Test Before Adding
These amounts are guides for adjustments only. Always test your water first and add chemicals based on actual test results, not as regular doses.
💧 After heavy rain: Test immediately and adjust as needed - rainwater dilutes chemicals and can affect all levels.
Safe Chemical Handling
- • Always test water first - never add chemicals blindly
- • Add chemicals one at a time, waiting 4 hours between additions
- • Run filter for 4-8 hours after adding chemicals
- • Never mix chemicals directly together
- • Start with small amounts - you can always add more
- • 🌧️ After heavy rain: Test all levels and adjust as needed
