• Before beginning with any pool care program, you must
first balance your pool water. Take a water sample to your
local pool professional or use a complete test kit that will
test for the below important elements.
New pools especially may contain undesirable matter. These
pools need extra care to properly balance before using
POOL FROG
® Mineral Hybrid.
• Add a stabilizer or conditioner to
the pool at the beginning of the
season if the stabilizer level is below
40 ppm. This will prevent chlorine
burn off. Follow manufacturer’s
directions carefully.

• Shock the pool with chlorine to rid
the water of all contaminants before
beginning with POOL FROG
® Mineral
Hybrid. Follow manufacturer's
directions carefully.
• THIS STEP IS VERY IMPORTANT
TO START-UP.
USE CHLORINE SHOCK ONLY.
• If your fill water is high in metals, use a sequestering agent
or metal out product at start-up only before using the POOL
FROG
® Mineral Reservoir. See your local dealer for details
on using these products and always follow manufacturers
directions carefully.
Do not turn generator power on until start-up is complete
and the proper amount of salt has been added to the pool
(see page 6).
Use the Saturation Index on page 16 to ensure proper water balance.
