To prevent damage to heaters or lters, see your dealer about installing a corrosion resistant check valve which will reduce the back ow of chlorine gas when the Cycler is turned off.

Step 1: Preparing the Pool

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 packkages. 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: 0.5 – 1.0 ppm

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 Prevail Cycler.

Operate

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

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.

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.

Step 4: Routine Pool Care

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 Prevail Cycler, be sure the pool return line valves are open except when opening or servicing the unit.

Regularly test water 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.

Test Strips

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

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

DANGER

Do not contaminate the Prevail Cycler or Prevail Pool Packs 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 Prevail Cycler or Prevail Pool Packs, will result in a chemical reaction with the generation of heat, liberation of hazardous gasses and re or explosion.

Winterizing

Turn pump off.

Turn dial to Setting 0.

Remove cap.

Remove Prevail Pool Pack

If Pack still contains chlorine, wrap in plastic bag and store in shed or cool, dry, well-ventilated location away from children, pets, cars, motorcycles or anything metal that can rust, pit, etc.

Operate

Unscrew knob from the front of Prevail Cycler. Allow all water to drain.

WARNING

What do I do

if I am over chlorinating with the Prevail Pool Pack?

1. If the chlorine reading is over 3.0 ppm, remove the Prevail Pool Pack from the Prevail Cycler and test the water daily until the reading is down to 1.0 ppm.

2. Reinsert the Prevail Pool Pack, 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.
