| Water Circulation
The return jets keep the water moving and spread the chemicals
evenly throughout the pool. To maximize circulation, position
your return jets at a 45-degree angle downward and establish
an overall-circulation pattern in the pool to minimize dead
spots.
Pump and Filter Operation
During Pool start-up and heavy-use periods, run the pump
continuously. Running your pump 24 hours a day is ideal to
prevent pool problems. The pump and filter serve as the heart
of your pool's filtration and circulation system. Check both
frequently for performance and consult your Sustain System
Dealer if you have questions.

Chemical Treatment
Proper chemical treatment provides healthy, inviting water and
protects your swimming pool investment. Correct levels of pH
and Free Available Chlorine (FAC) are essential to keep your
pool water sparkling clean and free of algae. Corrosion of equipment
and plaster surface etching are costly occurrences, which can
happen when pool water balance is not maintained. With the Sustain®
3-Step Pool Care System, water balance is easy to maintain because
the active ingredient, calcium hypo chlorite, does not contribute
to corrosive water.
The Sustain® 3-part System represents "state-of-the
art" in pool care. Its easy to use and has proven effectiveness
in thousands of pools for more than 10 years. This success
is due, in a large part. to our Summer Shield™ Chlorine
Extender. This product break-through in pool chemicals technology
provides automatic back-up chlorine protection against algae
development. Summer Shield™ Chlorine Extender is unique
in that one application can last all summer, whereas other
pool care systems require a weekly dose of an algae preventative.
Weekly testing of pH and Free Available Chlorine (FAC), as
well as routine water analysis at your Authorized Sustain
System Dealer, will help prevent problems before they occur.
You should take a water sample to your dealer prior to opening
your pool and then a minimum of every six weeks afterward.
Proper water balance allows the chlorine to attack bacteria
and algae. Your dealer will test your water for pH, Total
Alkalinity (TA), Calcium Hardness (CH),Stabilizer (CYA) and
Summer Shield Chlorine Extender levels. It is your responsibility
to maintain water balance and FAC in accordance with your
dealer's recommendations.
