24 HOUR, LOW-SPEED PUMP-RUN TIME
In order to ensure proper performance when running on low speed for 24 hours or high speed less than 6 hours, bleed the air while the pump is on by unscrewing the cap
knob until water appears. Then screw the knob back on. Repeat this process each time the cap is removed for any reason. Set the control dial at #6 and follow the adjustment
directions in Step 8 to determine the correct setting for your pool.
IMPORTANT: Pump
run times of at least 6
hours at high speed are
recommended for proper
performance. If running
low speed only or on
high speed less than
6 hours, please follow
the 24 Hour Low-Speed
directions below.
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.
Maintain setting of Maximum,
Setting 5 or ON depending on the
model. No adjustments needed.
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.
Shock pool every
two weeks or as
needed to maintain
water quality. Follow label
directions on the chlorine
shock treatment used.
Remember to
adjust dial by 1/2
increments only,
in order to prevent
over chlorination
which may bleach
pool surfaces.
After testing, adjust the dial up
by 1/2 increment if the free
chlorine reading has dropped
below 0.5 ppm or down by 1/2
increment if the reading has
risen above 1.0 ppm. Continue
this process each day until the
color on the test strip matches
the ideal FROG® range of 0.5
ppm to 1.0 ppm chlorine.
Set control dial by matching up the parameters of your pool on the charts below. THIS IS A STARTING POINT
ONLY and may need to be adjusted to fit your individual pool needs. See #8 for directions.
