Baquacil Pool Water Care Guide
Baquacil Pool Maintenance
Start the season by having your pool water professionally tested and adjust as needed. This is necessary for chemicals to work effectively as well as protecting your liner and pool equipment from premature wear!
Step 1: Sanitize with BAQUACIL® Swimming Pool Sanitizer and Algistat
- Keep levels between 40 and 50 ppm.
- When the level is 40 ppm or less, add BAQUACIL® Sanitizer and Algistat
to bring the level up to 50 ppm. Never let the level fall below 40 ppm.
Heavy rain may dilute the sanitizer and allow bacteria to grow
Step 2: Oxidize with BAQUACIL® Oxidizer
- Add weekly.
- If the Oxidizer level is 0 ppm for two consecutive weeks consult your authorized
pool dealer. This may be indicating the need to chemically clean the filter.
Step 3: Maintain oxidizer residual and water clarity with BAQUACIL® CDX® product.
- Add weekly to the skimmer with the pump running.
- Always add the BAQUACIL® CDX® IMMEDIATELY AFTER the addition of the
Oxidizer

Test pool weekly with easy to use test strips.

Run The Pool
Run filter system at least 8-12 hours a day. If you have a 2 speed pump, run the system 24 hours a day on low speed!
Clean filter as needed
Sand Filters: Only backwash when the pressure builds up or return flow slows down. Sand filters filter out finer particles as they clog up. If you keep the filter too clean it will not work efficiently!
Cartridge & DE Filters: Clean whenever the pressure builds up or return flow slows down. If you have a DE filter make sure to add DE every time you backwash!
