For the first week test the pool water daily for
free chlorine with FROG
®
Brand Test Strips to
ensure correct dial setting. Continue to test
weekly throughout the season.
Start-up and Operation
Once you’ve set the dial on the Mineral Cycler to ON, set the dial on the Chlorine Cycler by matching up the
parameters of your pool on the chart below. THIS IS A STARTING POINT ONLY and may need to be adjusted to fit
your individual pool needs. See #7 below for adjusting directions. IMPORTANT: Pump run times less than 8 hours
could result in under chlorination due to inadequate flow through the system.
6.
Find your starting dial setting by matching up the parameters
of your pool on the above chart. A pool with approximately
12,000 gallons with a 1 horse pump running 12 hours a day
would require a starting setting of 2.0. See example at right.

After each testing, adjust the dial up by
1/2 increment if the free chlorine reading
has dropped below 0.5 ppm or adjust
down by 1/2 increment if the reading
has risen above 1.0 ppm. Continue this
process each day until the free chlorine
reading stabilizes to at least 0.5 ppm.
Remember to adjust dial by 1/2 increments only in
order to prevent over chlorination which may bleach pool
surfaces.
If using another means of chlorine support -
follow steps 1-4 on page 5 then continue below.
Shock pool every two weeks or as needed
to maintain water quality. Follow label
directions on the shock treatment used.
Set dial on Mineral Cycler to ON.
Leave Chlorine Cycler empty.
Maintain a minimum chlorine reading
of 0.5 ppm with a chlorine delivery
device or hand feeding.
Shock pool every two weeks or as
needed to maintain water quality.
Follow label directions on the shock
treatment used.
