Installation Tips to Ensure Proper Performance

Before installing, read all directions carefully and contact your dealer for installation support.

WARNING

• Do not exceed maximum operating pressure of 50 psi.

• Do not install automatic or fast shut off valves downstream of feeder.

• Always install the New Water Cycler AFTER the heater (if applicable) on the return line.

• Always install any additional sanitizing equipment AFTER and NEVER BEFORE the New Water Cycler is installed on the return line.

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 either the cap knob or back knob until water appears. Then screw the knob back in. Repeat this process each time the cap is removed for any reason.

2) Install Cycler with 4-8 psi back pressure.

Lower back pressures could result in under chlorination. Change the eyeball  ttings in the return jets to a smaller size to increase back pressure. Contact King Technology at 800-222-0169 for a specially designed Cycler pressure gauge to determine back pressure at pool start-up.

3) Special installation Requirements:

IMPORTANT: Over chlorination or damage to the New

Water Cycler or other equipment could result if special installations A, B or C are not used in these situations:

• If water  ow is higher than 80 gallons per minute (gpm), see diagram A.

• If an in- oor cleaner is included with pool, see diagram B, with two options. Preferred installation is Option 1 with two separate lines.

Step 1: Preparing the Pool

Operate

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

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

WARNING

Do not exceed maximum operating pressure of 50 psi.

Check for metals in the pool such

Metal

Out

Before beginning with any pool care program, you must  rst balance your pool water. Take a water sample to your local pool professional (or use a complete test kit) to test for the important Water Balance Guidelines.

IMPORTANT: Always follow printed instructions on the balancing chemical packages. Add balancing chemicals in small increments one at a time with circulation running. For best results, wait 8-12 hours before testing again and adding any additional balancing chemicals.

as iron or copper. Before attempting water balance, these should be removed. See your dealer for a metal out or sequesterant and follow the label directions carefully.

Check the Water Hardness of your  ll water before

adding to the pool. If calcium content is higher than 400 ppm,  nd a soft water source to  ll your pool instead; otherwise water balance will be very dif cult.

Water Balance Guidelines

pH: 7.2 – 7.8 Total Alkalinity: 80 – 120 ppm Calcium Hardness: 200 – 400 Total Dissolved Solids: <1500 Stabilizer: 20 – 80 ppm Free Chlorine: 1.0 – 3.0 ppm

Continue...Step 1: Preparing the Pool - Page 14

Continue... Step 1: Preparing the Pool

For best results in achieving water balance, follow steps 5a through 5e in order.

5a. Take a water sample

from the pool and dip a Test Strip into it.

4EST 3TRIPS

5b. Look at the Total Alkalinity reading  rst. Adjustments

should be made to bring the Total Alkalinity in the range of 80 – 120 ppm prior to making any adjustments to pH even if it throws pH off further.

Initially shock the pool with chlorine shock only to rid

the water of contaminants and establish a chlorine residual. Always follow the manufacturer’s directions carefully. See the DANGER box below for important guidance on shocking.

DANGER

• Never add any other types of chlorine, pH adjusters, shock treatments or algaecides through the skimmer. These products should be added directly into the pool if required.

• Never use fast dissolving chlorine tablets, liquid bleach, or calcium hypochlorite in the New Water Cycler.

EXAMPLE

MODEL 400

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 or back knob until water appears. Then screw the knob back in. 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.

Find your starting dial setting by matching up the parameters of your pool on the above chart. An above ground pool with approximately 12,000 gallons, with a 1 1/2 horsepower pump running 12 hours a day, would require a starting setting of 2.5.

4EST 3TRIPS

For the  rst week, test the pool water daily for free chlorine to ensure correct dial setting. Continue to test weekly throughout the season.

After each testing, adjust the dial up by 1/2 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.

IMPORTANT: Control dial settings in excess of these recommendations could result in excess trichlor levels being discharged into the pool. This can result in bleaching or discoloration of areas around the pool inlet or in some cases bleaching or discoloration of the entire pool liner or paint. In addition, excess trichlor in the pool can create health hazards to bathers.

Use the handle end of cap tool if the dial is hard to turn.

Step 4: Routine Pool Care

Operate

Run  ltration system enough hours to circulate all water 1 to 2 times per day. More than that could result in over chlorination.

WARNING

To prevent the build up of gas pressure in the New Water System, be sure the pool return line valves are open except when opening or servicing the unit.

Regularly test water with to maintain pH and Total Alkalinity.

NOTE: Water balance is affected by bather load, chemical usage, evaporation and the makeup of source water, so maintaining water balance regularly is important.

4EST 3TRIPS

Shock the pool every week or as needed with a non-chlorine or chlorine shock.

DANGER

• Never add any other types of chlorine, pH adjusters, shock treatments or algaecides through the skimmer. These products should be added directly into the pool if required.

• Never use fast dissolving chlorine tablets, liquid bleach, or calcium hypochlorite in the New Water Cycler.

Maintain 1.0 - 3.0 ppm free chlorine level at all times.

DANGER

Do not contaminate the New Water Cycler or New Water Cycler Pacs with dirt, organic matter, pool chemicals (such as calcium hypochlorite or pool shocks), fertilizers or other household chemicals. Contact between any of these substances and the New Water Cycler or New Water Cycler Pacs will result in a chemical reaction with the generation of heat, liberation of hazardous gasses and  re or explosion.

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?

What do I do

if I am under chlorinating with the New Water Cycler Pac?

1. Make sure your  ltration system is working properly (i.e. clean  lter, skimmer and pump basket).

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

1. Algae may be trying to form – shock the pool, increase circulation time if needed and clean the  lter.

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,  rst make sure there are chlorine tablets in the tower areas of the New Water Cycler 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.

3. Make sure the pool is properly balanced

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

2. Metals in the  ll water may have been oxidized. Have the pool tested. See pool dealer if a metal control product is required.

2. Clean the  lter 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 or back knob each time cap is open.

5. Contact your dealer to have your back pressure tested. If under 4 psi consider a smaller eye-ball  tting in the return jet.

(see page 13).

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.

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.

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

What do I do

if I am over chlorinating with the New Water Cycler Pac?

1. If the chlorine reading is over 3.0 ppm, remove the New Water Cycler 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 Cycler 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  tting 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.
