Using The Omni Synergy Pool System

Now there's an even easier way to keep your pool in perfect shape.  The Synergy System makes your pool care easy and keeps your water sparkling clear all season long.  Just follow the steps below to make sure your pool is ready for summer.

Starting Up Your Synergy® Pool 

  1. Balance the swimming pool water to proper levels.  pH, Alkalinity and Hardness levels should be checked at a minimum.  Clean all pool surfaces - vacuum and brush where needed.  You can find a list of ideal chemical ranges here: Balancing Your Pool Water
  2. To start your swimming pool on Synergy®, add a once a year dose of Synergy Initiator at a rate of one 12.5 pounds per 10,000 gallons.  Initiator prepares the pool to use the Synergy system and helps keep the water looking its best.  Add Initiator through the pool skimmer with the pump running.  Do not backwash for 48 hours.
  3. Establish an initial chlorine residual of at least 2 ppm.  To do this, add 1 Lb. of OMNI Breakout 60 per 10,000 gallons.  Test chlorine residual after 12-24 hours.  If less than 2 ppm, repeat application and testing until a 2 ppm or more residual is obtained.
  4. Turn your chlorinator or floater down to its lowest setting and fill with Synergy Tabs


Maintaining your Synergy Pool

Once A Week: 

  1. Add Synergy Clear to the pool water at a rate of 1/2 pound per 10,000 gallons.  You may swim 15 minutes after adding Synergy Clear to your pool.
  2.  Refill your chlorine floater or automatic chlorinator with Synergy Tabs
  3. Use a Chlorine Test Strip to check your pool water.  Keep a free chlorine residual of 1.0 - 1.5 ppm and a pH of 7.2 - 7.6
  4. Check and adjust water balance if necessary.
  5. Brush and vacuum debris as needed.
