E-Z Pool™ is formulated for compatibility and
use with traditional sanitizers.
Pre Conversion:
1. Brush walls and vacuum pool.
2. Treat with Sequesterant to remove metals, if applicable.
3. Treat with Phosphate remover, if high levels are present.
4. Clean filter thoroughly:
Sand – Replace sand or chemically clean with acid solution.
D. E. – Flush, chemically clean grids, re-charge.
Cartridge – Chemically clean existing element thoroughly.
Note: When converting from biguanide, filter media must be replaced
and filter cleaned.
Conversion:
Note: If converting from biguanide, use flip-out!™, following
package instructions.
- Balance the pool water to TA = 70-90 ppm, pH = 7.6, CH = 350-500
ppm.
(E-Z Pool™ inhibits calcium scaling)
- Maintain free chlorine at 1.5 – 3 ppm for at least 24 hours
prior to conversion.
- Dose with E-Z Pool™ according to the “Weekly Dosage Table”
(see “How to Apply).
- Run on E-Z Pool™ for 7 – 10 days. Have Authorized Dealer
check water balance
and clean filter media thoroughly, again:
Sand – Chemically clean and rinse well.
D. E. – Flush, clean grids (if needed), and recharge.
Cartridge – Replace with new element or rinse thoroughly, if in
good
condition (soaking should not be necessary).
- Follow “Routine Weekly Maintenance” instructions and
monitor filter weekly:
Sand – Backwash 1 – 3 minutes weekly.
D. E. – Flush and recharge when pressure rises 5 – 10 psi.
Cartridge – Check or rinse weekly or when pressure rises 5 –
10 psi.
Application:
Vinyl Liners and Fiberglass Pools – Pour powdered compound slowly
over a return jet while pump is running. Marsite or Plaster Surface Pools
– Pre-dissolve product in a bucket (product first, then half full
with water). Pour into deep end near return jets.

Weekly Maintenance:
E-Z Pool™ must be added on a weekly basis. Year round pools (unheated),
reduce dose 50% during colder months (water under 70 degrees).
E-Z Pool™ and sanitizer should be maintained at a minimum 1.0 ppm
“TC” (see testing).
We recommend beginning with one 3” sanitizer tablet per 12,000 gallons
in a floater, feeder, or skimmer. Caution: Circulate pump continuously
while tablets are in a skimmer.
Filter cleaning. The most important aspect of maintaining
an E-Z Pool™ pool is regular cleaning of the filtration system.
Keep in mind with E-Z Pool™ you are cleaning out more impurities.
During swim season, monitor filter weekly. During winter (where applicable)
monitor bi-monthly.
Proper pH Level: As E-Z Pool™ is consumed by removing
impurities in water, the pH level will rise. Weekly dosage of E-Z Pool™
will help manage pH, generally floating it between 7.2 and 7.6.
Total Alkalinity and Calcium Hardness: After initial
conversion and re-balancing (TA = 70-110
ppm and CH = 300-500 ppm), TA and CH should be monitored monthly. See
Authorized Dealer.
Pool Brushing and Vacuuming: Pool should be brushed
and/or vacuumed weekly to ensure all impurities are filtered. Larger particles
will fall to the floor. E-Z Pool™ is compatible with all automatic
pool cleaners.
