dial setting. Continue to test weekly
throughout the season.
Start-up and Operation
Start-up and Operation
This system is designed to work effectively with a variety of pool equipment as long as the following basic
procedures are followed.
Once you’ve set the dial on the POOL FROG® Mineral Cycler to Maximum, set control dial on POOL FROG® 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 #8 below for adjusting directions. IMPORTANT: Pump run times of at least 6
hours per day at high speed are recommended for proper performance. If running the pump at low speed only or on high speed
less than 6 hours, please follow the 24 hour low speed directions below.
7.
24 HOUR, LOW SPEED-PUMP RUN TIME
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 BOTH cycler cap knobs until water appears. Then
screw the knobs back on. Repeat this process each time the caps are removed
for any reason. Set the control dial on the chlorine cycler to 6 and follow the
adjustment directions in Step 8 to determine the correct setting for your pool.
8.
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.
Shock pool every two weeks or as needed to
maintain water quality. Follow label directions on
the shock treatment used.
6.
Leave POOL FROG® Chlorine Cycler
empty and set dial on POOL FROG®
Mineral Cycler to Maximum.
7.
Shock pool every two weeks or as needed to
maintain water quality. Follow label directions
on the shock treatment used.
If using another means of chlorine support
, follow
steps 1-5 on page 5 then continue below.
Find your starting dial setting by matching up the
parameters of your pool on the above chart. An In ground
pool with approximately 18,000 gallons with a 1 horse
power pump running 6 hours a day at high speed would
require a starting dial setting of 4.5. Example above.
9.
Do not add shock in or near the skimmer
or into the POOL FROG XL PRO® Cyclers as
it could damage equipment, risk potential
explosion or discolor your pool surface.
