Safety Notes

Never mix chemicals together. Always add chemicals to water, not water to chemicals. Wear protective gloves and eyewear. Add chemicals with the pump running for circulation. Keep children and pets away during treatment.

These are approximate dosage guidelines. Actual amounts may vary by product concentration and pool conditions. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions on your specific chemical products.
