Basic Operation

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

1. Set POOL FROG® Mineral Hybrid Cycler to MAX.

2. Set the generator to maintain at least a 0.5 ppm Free
chlorine level. Without a working mineral reservoir inside
the cycler, higher chlorine levels of 1-3 ppm are required.
Chlorine levels can be tested using a standard test kit or
by your local pool store.

Follow the steps to setting the chlorine output.

A. Ensure the main circulation pump is ON.

B. Press

to turn the generator on.

C. Adjust the chlorine level using the

or

buttons

for more or less production.

NOTE: “Wait” up to 1 minute for the system to test and
display the Output % and Salinity readings. A blinking bar
in the “Output %” area shows the amount of chlorine the
system is trying to produce, while the solid bars show
the amount of chlorine the system is actually producing.

3. Periodically test your water and always maintain the
following readings.
(Use Saturation Index on page 15 to ensure proper bal-
ance.)

Ideal 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.

4. Shock the pool with a chlorine shock product as
needed to maintain water clarity. Always follow shock
manufacturer’s directions.

5. Use Turbo Setting if additional chlorine is required
(unusual bather load or heavy rain).

• Press:

(Turbo): this

action increases chlorine
Output to 100% for a preset
period of time. Default
is 12 hours.

• Because the default time
is 12 hours, there are two
options for adjusting this
time. With each press ,

the time will be increased by
12 hours, up to a maximum of 72 hours. For a specific
time, hold down either the up

or down

until the

desired time in hours and/or minutes is displayed.

NOTE: If the salinity level is too low, the solid bars will
not reach 100% output.

To turn off Turbo wait 5 seconds then press

again.

Summer weather increases demand for chlorine which may
require the use of the Turbo setting or shocking more often.
