Swimming Pool Tips

Start-up and Yearly Maintenance

Make sure the pool has adequate circulation. The pool water must completely circulate through the pump and ﬁlter at least 1 to 2 times per day. This usually requires 8 to 12 hours. Check with your dealer for the proper circulation time for your pool.

If your ﬁll water is high in metals, use a sequestering agent or metal out product at start-up only before using the POOL FROG® Mineral Reservoir. See your local dealer for details on using these products and always follow manufacturers directions carefully.

After your pool is up and running

smoothly, continue to test your water for pH, total alkalinity and chlorine with FROG® Brand Test Strips and maintain its balance by adding any necessary adjustment products (see your dealer for details).

Before beginning with any pool care program, you must ﬁrst balance your pool water. Take a water sample to your local pool professional or use a complete test kit that will test for the following important elements.

Water Balance Guidelines

pH: 7.2 – 7.8

Total Alkalinity: 60 – 120 ppm

Calcium Hardness: 150 – 400

Total Dissolved Solids: <1500

Stabilizer: 20 – 80 ppm

Free Chlorine: 0.5 – 1.0 ppm

Check the pool’s ﬁlter gauge often and periodically clean ﬁlter per the manufacturer’s directions. A dirty ﬁlter will slow the ﬂow of water which could hamper proper circulation.

Page 5

Start-up and Operation

PAC 540C

Add a stabilizer or conditioner to the pool at the beginning of the season if the stabilizer level is below 20 ppm. This will prevent chlorine burn off. Follow manufacturer’s directions carefully.

Shock the pool with chlorine to rid the water of all contaminants before beginning with POOL FROG XL PRO®. Follow manufacturer’s directions carefully.

THIS STEP IS VERY IMPORTANT TO START-UP. USE CHLORINE SHOCK ONLY.

FROG BAM

Replace cap and run POOL FROG® Mineral Cycler, with POOL FROG® Mineral Reservoir inserted, for 10 minutes on Setting MAXIMUM.

For an Algae Protection Guarantee insert FROG BAM® into POOL FROG® Mineral Reservoir in POOL FROG® Mineral Cycler. (Follow directions on page 8.)

Start-up and Operation Start-up and Operation

This system is designed to work effectively with a variety of pool equipment as long as the following basic procedures are followed.

Once you’ve set the dial on the POOL FROG® Mineral Cycler to Maximum, set control dial on POOL FROG® Chlorine Cycler

by matching up the parameters of your pool on the chart below. THIS IS A STARTING POINT ONLY and may need to be adjusted to ﬁt your individual pool needs. See #8 below for adjusting directions. IMPORTANT: Pump run times of at least 6 hours per day at high speed are recommended for proper performance. If running the pump at low speed only or on high speed less than 6 hours, please follow the 24 hour low speed directions below.

24 HOUR, LOW SPEED PUMP RUN TIME

In order to ensure proper performance when running the pump on low speed for 24 hours per day or high speed less than 6 hours per day, bleed the air while the pump is on by unscrewing BOTH cycler cap knobs until water appears. Then screw the knobs back on. Repeat this process each time the caps are removed for any reason. Set the control dial on the chlorine cycler to 6 and follow the adjustment directions in Step 8 to determine the correct setting for your pool.

For the ﬁrst week test the pool water

daily for free chlorine with FROG®

Brand Test Strips to ensure correct dial setting. Continue to test weekly throughout the season.

If using another means of chlorine support, follow

steps 1-5 on page 5 then continue below.

After each testing, adjust the dial up by 1/2 increment if the free chlorine reading has dropped below 0.5 ppm or adjust down by

1/2 increment if the reading has risen above 1.0 ppm. Continue this process each day until the

free chlorine reading stabilizes to at least 0.5 ppm.

maintain water quality. Follow label directions on the shock treatment used.

WARNING

Do not add shock in or near the skimmer or into the POOL FROG XL PRO® Cyclers as it could damage equipment, risk potential explosion or discolor your pool surface.

Problem Remedy

What do I do if the water looks cloudy?

What do I do if the water turns color?

What do I do if algae forms in or on my pool?

1. Make sure your ﬁltration system is working properly (i.e. clean ﬁlter, skimmer and pump basket).

2. Make sure circulation time is adequate – increase pump time if not.

1. Metals in the ﬁll water may have been oxidized. Have the pool tested. Shock the pool and clean the ﬁlter until water clarity returns.

1. Use a nonmetallic (polyquat) algaecide per the directions on the bottle and brush the sides of the pool often.

2. Clean the ﬁlter and shock the pool with chlorine daily until water clarity returns.

3. Make sure the pool is properly balanced (see page 4).

4. Shock the water to eliminate build up of any organic matter.

2. Algae may be trying to form – shock the pool, increase circulation time if needed and clean the ﬁlter.

3. If you are in an area of the country that struggles with algae growth, see your dealer regarding a 90-day Algae Protection Guarantee using FROG BAM®. See product hang

tag for guarantee details.

5. Make sure pool has a free chlorine reading of

0.5 to 1.0 ppm.

6. Check with your dealer for more information.

3. Check with your dealer for more information.

4. Check with your dealer for more information.

What do I do if I am under chlorinating with the POOL FROG® Pac?

What do I do if I am over chlorinating with the POOL FROG® Pac?

1. If you are unable to maintain

0.5 to 1.0 ppm, ﬁrst make sure there are chlorine tablets in the tower areas of the POOL FROG® Pac and it is installed properly. If a correction was made, test the water in 24 hours.

2. If still low, turn the dial up one setting and test the water again in 24 hours. Continue raising the setting by one increment each day until the proper reading is achieved.

1. If the chlorine reading is over

3.0 ppm, remove the Chlorine Pac from the POOL FROG® Chlorine Cycler and test the water daily until the reading is down to 1.0 ppm.

2. Reinsert the POOL FROG® Pac, lower the dial one setting and test the water again in 24 hours. If the reading has risen, lower the dial one setting again. Continue this process until proper reading is achieved.

3. Shock the pool if the reading has been lower than 0.5 ppm for more than one day.

4. Make sure pump run time is at least 6 hours on high speed (40 gpm or higher) or if not, bleed the air from both cap knobs (see page 6 for directions).

5. Contact your dealer to have your back pressure tested to ensure it is at least 4 psi.

3. If over-chlorinating at the lowest possible setting, consider decreasing the circulation time. Depending on your pump size, you may be circulating the water more than is necessary.

4. Contact your dealer to have your back pressure tested. If over 8 psi consider a larger eye-ball ﬁtting in the return jet.

6. Check for a suction side leak by looking for air bubbles in your pump basket or at the return jet. Your water level will be low and the skimmer will be taking in air. Contact dealer for help in correcting this situation.

7. Contact King Technology’s Customer Service Department at 800-222-0169.

5. Check to see if the

pressure relief valve is loose or missing and replace. It is a clear plastic piece approximately 1” long installed inside near the base. If loose or missing, it can provide another avenue for water to reach the chlorine.

For Proper Performance

✙

Flow

1) If using a multi-speed pump, run pump for at least 6 hours per day at high speed (at least 40 gpm).

If the pump will run on low speed 24 hours per day or less than 6 hours per day on high speed, you must bleed the air while the pump is on by unscrewing the cap knob until water appears. Then screw the knob back on. Repeat this process each time the cap is removed for any reason.

2) Install system with a minimum 4 psi back pressure.

Lower back pressures could result in under chlorination. Adjust eye ball ﬁttings in the return jets to a smaller size to increase back pressure. Contact King Technology at 800-222-0169 for a cap tapped for a pressure gauge to determine back pressure at pool start-up.
