Troubleshooting

1. Make sure your filtration
system is working properly
(i.e. clean filter, skimmer and
pump basket).
2. Make sure circulation time
is adequate – increase pump

time if not.
3. Make sure the pool is
properly balanced

(see page 4).

4. Shock the water to
eliminate build up of any
organic matter.

5. Make sure pool has a
free chlorine reading of
0.5 to 1.0 ppm.
6. Check with your dealer
for more information.

1. Metals in the fill water may
have been oxidized. Have the
pool tested. Shock the pool
and clean the filter until water
clarity returns.

2. Algae may be trying to
form – shock the pool,
increase circulation time if
needed and clean the filter.

3. Check with your dealer for
more information.

1. Use a nonmetallic (polyquat)
algaecide per the directions on
the bottle and brush the sides
of the pool often.
2. Clean the filter and shock
the pool with chlorine daily

until water clarity returns.
3. If you are in an area of
the country that struggles
with algae growth, see your
dealer regarding a 90-day
Algae Protection Guarantee

using FROG Leap ALL-OUT!™.
See product hang tag for
guarantee details.
4. Check with your dealer for
more information.

1. If you are unable to
maintain 0.5 to 1.0 ppm, first
make sure there are chlorine
tablets in the tower areas
of the FROG Leap Torpedo
Pac™ and it is installed
properly. If a correction was
made, test the water in 24
hours.
2. If still low, turn the dial up
one setting and test the
water again in 24 hours.
Continue raising the setting

by one increment each day
until the proper reading is
achieved.
3. Shock the pool if the
reading has been lower than
0.5 ppm for more than one
day.
4. Make sure pump run time
is at least 6 hours on high
speed (40 gpm or higher) or
if not, bleed the air from the
back knob each time cap is
open.

5. Contact your dealer to have
your back pressure tested to
ensure it is at least 4 psi.
6. Check for a suction side
leak by looking for air bubbles
in your pump basket or at
the return jet. Contact dealer
for help in correcting this
situation.
7. Contact King Technology’s
Customer Service Department
at 800-222-0169.

1. If the chlorine reading is
over 3.0 ppm, remove the
FROG Leap Torpedo Pac™
from the FROG Leap Anti-Bac
Mineral Pac™ and test the
water daily until the reading
is down to 1.0 ppm.
2. Reinsert the FROG Leap
Torpedo Pac™, 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 fitting 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.
6. Contact King Technology’s
Customer Service Department
at 800-222-0169.
