Preparing For The Winter Season; Safety Rules - Mountfield IBIZA Montageanleitung

Chemical water treatment:
No general instructions regarding dosage or the
treatment regime can be provided for water treatment
with chemical products. The situation of each
swimming pool is different with respect to the
swimming pool nature, number of visitor, surrounding
environment, climatic conditions, etc. Dosage is
governed by actual parameters measured. It is
convenient to use a kit for measurements of the pH,
free chlorine and any other active compounds.
Knowing those parameters, one can dose the
chemical products precisely as needed. The hazard
of unnecessary exposure of humans to chemicals is
then minimised. Follow these guidelines:
•
Consider the appropriateness of the product and
its use patterns when selecting a chemical agent
•
Store the swimming pool chemicals OUT OF THE
REACH OF CHILDREN, in a cold, dry a dark
place.
•
Read the first aid measures for each chemical,
follow safety guidelines and safety instructions on
the labels.
•
Follow manufacturer's instructions when applying
the chemicals. Follow personal hygiene habits
when handling the products. Wash hands after
finishing.
•
Do not put any chemical products into the
skimmer sieve. When applying chlorine agents in
the form of tablets, best use a dedicated float or a
chlorine dispenser. If you buy a float, insert the
appropriate number of tablets into it and let it float
on the water. The chlorine will be dispersed
throughout the entire swimming pool faster if the
filtering system is ON. Once the product has
dispersed, remove the float and store it at a safe
place. If you wish to use the swimming pool
before the product has dissolved, remove the
float and store it at a place where no injury, harm
or damage can occur. Take special care to hide it
from children.
•
Do not use the swimming pool while applying any
chemical product.

Preparing for the winter season

All inground swimming pools must remain partly filled
with water during the winter months in order to
compensate external pressure.
Initial pH should be set at 7.0 and any water haze or
presence of algae should be eliminated by shock
chlorination.
Subsequently, lower the water level approximately 10
cm below the return nozzles and drain (remove) any
water from the piping and the filter system thoroughly.
The input nozzles can be closed by means of winter
valves.
If point light are built in the swimming pool, water
level should be either below them or above them.
Add some protective product for the winter season in
order to lower temperature. Using dedicated cushions
is recommended to counteract ice pressure on the
swimming pool walls.

Safety rules

General safety measures:
Never leave children alone in or near a
swimming pool, instruct them about
potential dangers. Teach children to
swim. Cover the swimming pool when
not in use. Enter the swimming pool very
slowly after meal or sun tanning. Your
blood circulation system or heart may
fail!
Immediate aid after an accident during
swimming: Get the victim(s) out of the
pool immediately. Check heart rate and
breathing. If needed, apply mount-to-
mouth breathing and indirect heart
massage. Call medical rescue service.
Warning: Do not make any changes of
the swimming pool and/or interventions
into the structure of the assembled
swimming pool filled with water. The
swimming pool may collapse or cause
severe injury.
Technical safety guidelines:
•
Before using the swimming pool please read all
information thoroughly and ask questions if
anything is not clear to you. Follow the
recommendations. They are intended to ensure
your safety and the safety of other people in the
swimming pool. Please keep this document at a
safe place in case you need it later.
•
One introductory remark: The text that follows
describes the most typical risks associated with
the use of swimming pools. Additional risks may
also exist. So: Use common sense while doing
any activities in or near the swimming pool.
Safety of non-swimmers:
•
Always be sure that non-swimmers and persons
with a reduced ability to swim – small children in
particular – are under the surveillance of a person
who can rescue them and call help in emergency.
•
In order to avoid misunderstanding in
communication: Appoint a person who can help
and who will monitor and supervise the swimming
pool constantly while in use.
•
Non-swimmers and persons with a reduced
ability to should use personal protective
equipment when entering the swimming pool.
•
Remove any toys from the swimming tools and its
surroundings if the swimming pool is not used or
monitored, so children will not be attracted by
them.
