• Before beginning with any pool care program, you must
first balance your pool water. Take a water sample to your
local pool professional or use a complete test kit that will
test for the below important elements.
New pools especially may contain undesirable matter. These
pools need extra care to properly balance before using
POOL FROG
®
Mineral Hybrid.
• Add a stabilizer or conditioner to
the pool at the beginning of the
season if the stabilizer level is below
40 ppm. This will prevent chlorine
burn off. Follow manufacturer’s
directions carefully.
