Test 2–3 times a week in peak season, weekly off-season. 2. Always balance pH and alkalinity before adjusting chlorine. 3. Keep CYA (stabiliser) between 30–50 ppm — too high weakens chlorine. 4. Add chemicals to water, never water to chemicals. 5. Run the pump while dosing and for a few hours after. 6. Aim for an LSI between -0.3 and +0.3 to avoid scale and corrosion. 7. Shock after heavy use, rain or a heatwave. 8. Brush the walls weekly — chemistry is not a substitute for circulation.
