King Technology Aqua Smarte Plus Mineral Dispensing System Model 7700 - Manual (Page 6)

Start-up and Operation
Set control dial 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 directions. IMPORTANT: Pump run times less than
8 hours could result in under chlorination due to inadequate flow through the System. 7.
For the first week test the pool water daily
for free chlorine with Aqua Smarte Brand
Test Strips to ensure correct dial setting.
Continue to test weekly throughout the
season. 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.
Set dial to Setting 5. Maintain a
minimum chlorine reading of 0.5
ppm with a chlorine delivery device
or hand feeding.
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
