Start-up
1.
IMPORTANT: Pump run times of at least 6 hours at high
speed are recommended for proper performance. If run-
ning on low speed only (24 hours) or less than 6 hours
on high speed, bleed the air while the pump is running
by unscrewing the cap knob on the cycler until water
appears then screw the knob back on. Repeat this pro-
cess each time the cap is removed for any reason.

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.
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.
4. 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 manu-
facturer’s directions carefully.
WATER BALANCE GUIDELINES
Minimum Ideal Maximum
pH: 7.2 7.4 – 7.6 7.8
Total Alkalinity: 60 ppm 80 – 100 ppm 120 ppm
Calcium Hardness: 150 200 – 300 400
Total Dissolved Solids: <1500
Stabilizer: 20 ppm 40 – 60 ppm 80 ppm
Free Chlorine: 0.5 ppm 0.5 – 1.0 ppm 1.0 ppm
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.
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 15 to ensure proper water balance.
