Keep chlorine level between 1.0 and 1.5 PPM. Not over 2.0 PPM. Never use gas chlorine. It can void liner warranty

Using liquid chlorine every 4th time can be beneficial. It can slow down over-conditioning.

PH is very, very important. Keep it between 7.2 and 7.6. PH should be check weekly or more often.

Never use manual vacuum heads with wheels. Only use ones with plastic bristles.

Only use cleaning equipment that is designed for vinyl pools. Using the wrong tools can harm liner.

Check equipment often for rough edges or chips. Most holes in liners are caused by cleaning tools.

Holes in liners must be repaired underwater by using vinyl pool repair kits or call ABCO.
