Swimming pool maintenance involves chemicals, electricity, pressurized equipment, moving equipment, heat, and other potential hazards. Please use good judgment, follow all product and manufacturer instructions, and seek professional assistance whenever you are unsure.

1. Educational Purpose

My Pool Made Easy is an educational resource designed to help homeowners better understand swimming pool care and maintenance.

Information provided through the course, community, videos, downloads, emails, and other materials is for general educational and informational purposes. It is not a substitute for chemical labels, equipment manufacturer instructions, licensed contractors, qualified pool professionals, electricians, plumbers, or other appropriate professionals.

Every swimming pool and equipment system is different. Information that is appropriate for one pool may not be appropriate for another.

2. Your Responsibility

You are responsible for the decisions and actions you take when maintaining your swimming pool.

This includes:

• Chemical selection, handling, and application

• Water testing and chemical adjustments

• Equipment operation and maintenance

• Following product labels and manufacturer instructions

• Determining when professional assistance is necessary

• Complying with applicable laws, codes, and safety requirements

If you are uncertain about a procedure or do not feel qualified to perform it safely, stop and consult an appropriately qualified professional.

3. Chemical Safety

Pool chemicals can cause serious injury, illness, fire, dangerous reactions, or property damage when handled or used improperly.

Always:

• Read and follow the complete product label before using any pool chemical

• Follow the chemical manufacturer's dosage, handling, storage, and safety instructions

• Use appropriate personal protective equipment as directed

• Keep chemicals in their original labeled containers

• Store chemicals according to manufacturer instructions and away from children and pets

• Keep incompatible chemicals properly separated

• Use chemicals only for their intended purpose

Never mix pool chemicals together.

Do not combine chemicals in the same container, measuring device, feeder, or other location unless the product manufacturer specifically states that the products and application method are compatible.

If information provided by My Pool Made Easy differs from a chemical manufacturer's current product label or safety instructions, follow the manufacturer's instructions.

4. Equipment Safety

Swimming pool equipment may involve electricity, gas, heat, pressurized water, moving components, and other hazards.

Always follow the equipment manufacturer's instructions and safety procedures.

Never open, disassemble, service, or work on electrical, gas-fired, heated, pressurized, or mechanical equipment unless you are qualified to perform the work safely.

Before opening or servicing pool equipment such as filters, pumps, or other pressurized components, make sure the system has been properly shut down and all pressure has been safely relieved according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Electrical and gas-related repairs should be performed by appropriately qualified professionals.

5. Know When to Call a Professional

Some pool maintenance can be safely performed by homeowners. Other situations require specialized knowledge, training, licensing, or equipment.

Seek qualified professional assistance when appropriate, particularly for:

• Electrical problems

• Gas heaters or gas-related equipment

• Significant leaks or structural problems

• Complex equipment repairs

• Persistent or unusual water-quality problems

• Situations involving hazardous chemicals or chemical reactions

• Any situation you do not understand or cannot safely address

When in doubt, do not attempt a procedure that you are uncomfortable performing.
