King Technology POOL FROG Mineral Hybrid System Analog - Manual (Page 8)

Basic Operation
Periodically test your water and always
maintain the following readings.
(Use Saturation Index on page 16 to ensure proper balance.)
Salt Level: 3000 - 4500 ppm
Chlorine Level: 0.5 - 1.0 ppm
pH: 7.2 - 7.8
IMPORTANT: At least once a month have a
professional test your water. Make sure there are
no Nitrates or Phosphates in the water as they
will deplete chlorine levels.

POOL FROG ® Mineral Hybrid Cycler needs no adjusting
throughout the summer. Simply replace the POOL FROG ®
Mineral Reservoir every six months or after one season
whichever is shorter.
The POOL FROG ® Mineral Hybrid Generator produces free
chlorine to sanitize and oxidize your pool water. Maintain a
minimum chlorine level of at least 0.5 ppm. Without a working
POOL FROG
® Mineral Reservoir inside the Mineral Hybrid
Cycler, higher chlorine levels of 1-3 ppm would be required.
Chlorine levels can be tested using a standard test kit or by
your local pool store.
FINDING THE PROPER MAINTENANCE SETTING:
1. Turn knob initially to setting 3. For the first week test the
water for free chlorine every day and adjust the knob until at
least 0.5 ppm is maintained.
2. If after the first day, the chlorine reading is below 0.5 ppm,
turn control knob up by one tick mark. If the reading is above
1.0 ppm after one day, turn the control knob down by one tick
mark.
3. Continue this process each day until the reading stays
within the 0.5 to 1.0 ppm level.
TO GENERATE MORE CHLORINE:
1. Turn the control knob to a higher setting (1-7) to increase
chlorine output.
2. Ensure sufficient run time
(at least 8 hours or 1 1/2 turnovers per day).
3. Ensure salt level is correct and the cell is clean (see
cell cleaning on page 11).
4. Ensure proper water balance including stabilizer levels
(see Start-up on page 5).
5. Point pool jets down and to the side.
Summer weather increases demand for chlorine.
TO DECREASE CHLORINE PRODUCTION:
1. Turn the control knob to a lower setting (1-7) to decrease
chlorine output.
2. Decrease run time as necessary.
3. Refrain from adding more stabilizer to allow excess chlorine
to be burned off.
TEMPORARY USE OF POOL FROG ® BAC
PAC.
If a situation arises where the POOL FROG ®
Mineral Hybrid Cell will be removed for an
extended period of time, a
POOL FROG ® Bac
Pac may be used inside the POOL FROG ®
Mineral Hybrid Cycler which will dispense a low
level of chlorine. A replacement pipe must be
installed in place of the cell in order to do this.
See your dealer or contact King Technology
for more information.
Shock the pool as needed to maintain water clarity. Always
follow shock manufacturer’s directions.
