New Water
®
Thank you for choosing New Water®. This system will maintain a clean, clear swimming pool while you spend less time on maintenance and more time having fun!
For In Ground Pools For Above Ground Pools
New Water® Cycler
The New Water® Cycler is on constant watch dispensing chlorine to control bacteria and provide a protective bank of
sanitizer for your pool.
Swimming Pool Tips
Water Balance Guidelines
Free Chlorine: 1.0 - 3.0 ppm pH: 7.2 – 7.8 Total Alkalinity: 60 – 120 ppm Calcium Hardness: 150 – 400 Total Dissolved Solids: <1500 Stabilizer: 20 – 80 ppm
1. 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.
2. If your fill water is high in metals, use a sequestering agent or metal-out product at start-up only before insert­ing a Pac. See your local dealer for details on using these products and always follow manufacturer’s direc­tions carefully.
3. After your pool is up and running smoothly, continue to test your water for pH, total alkalinity and chlorine and maintain its balance by adding any necessary ad­justment products (see your dealer for details).
4. 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.
5. Shock the pool with chlorine to rid water of all contaminants before begin­ning. Follow manufacturer’s directions carefully. This step is very important to start-up. Use chlorine shock only.
Do not add shock in or near the skimmer or into the New Water® Cycler as it could damage equip­ment, risk poten­tial explosion or discolor your pool surface.

if I am under chlorinating with the New Water® Chlorine Pac?
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
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 an algaecide per the directions on the bottle and brush the sides of the pool often.
1. If you are unable to maintain at least 1.0 ppm, first make sure there are chlorine tablets in the tower areas of the New Water® 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.
time if not.
3. Make sure the pool is properly balanced
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.
2. Clean the filter and shock the pool with chlorine daily until water clarity returns
3. Shock the pool if the reading has been lower than
1.0 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 the cap knob (see page 17 for directions).
5. Contact your dealer to have your back pressure tested to ensure it is at least 4 psi.
(see page 3).
5. Make sure pool has a free chlorine reading of
1.0 to 3.0 ppm.
6. Check with your dealer for more information.
3. Check with your dealer for more information.
3. Check with your dealer for more information.
6. Check for a suction side leak by looking for air bubbles in your pump basket or at the return jet. Contact dealer for help in correcting this situation.

What do I do
5.
if I am over chlorinating with the New Water® Chlorine Pac?
1. If the chlorine reading is over 3.0 ppm, remove the Chlorine Pac from the New Water® Cycler and test the water daily until the reading is down to 1.0 ppm.
2. Reinsert the New Water® 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. 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.
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.
6. Contact King Technology’s Customer Service Department at 800-222-0169.

Replacing a Cycler Pac

USE ONLY the factory recommended replacement New Water® Cycler Pac. (See label.) DO NOT USE any other pack or bulk chemical tablets in the New Water® Cycler. Use of any other product could result in over chlorination, bleached liners, unsafe pool conditions, fire or explosion. Warranty will be void if the correct New Water® Cycler Pac is not used.

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 the cap knob until water appears. Then screw the knob back on. Repeat this process each time the cap is removed for any reason. Set the control dial at 6 and follow the adjustment directions in Step 2 to determine the correct setting for your pool.
2.
For the first week or so, test the water daily for free chlorine.
3.
Use the handle end of cap tool if the dial is hard to turn.
After day one, adjust the dial up by 1/2
14
increment if the free chlorine reading has dropped or down by 1/2 increment if the reading has risen. Continue this process each day until the reading stabilizes at your desired level between 1.0- 3.0 ppm. Remember to adjust dial by 1/2 increments only. Higher than suggested settings could result in over chlorination and/or bleached pool surfaces.
4.
Shock pool every week or as needed to maintain water quality. Follow label directions on the shock treatment used.
Do not add shock in or near the skimmer or into the New Water
® Cycler as it could damage
equipment, risk potential explosion or discolor your pool surface.

For Proper Performance

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 4-8 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.
