• Make sure the pool hasadequate circulation. Thepool water must completelycirculate through the pumpand filter at least 1 to 2 timesper day. This usually requires8 to 12 hours. Check withyour dealer for the propercirculation time for your pool.

Ensuring a Healthy Swimming Pool

Start-up and Yearly Maintenance

• Before beginning with anypool care program,including POOL FROG®, youmust first balance your poolwater. Take a water sampleto your local pool profes-sional or use a complete testkit that will test for the fol-lowing important elements.

• If your fill water is high in metals, check with yourpool professional on how to maintain proper levels. Itmay require shocking the pool and cleaning the filter.

• Check the pool's filtergauge often and periodicallyclean filter per the manufac-turer's directions. A dirtyfilter will slow the flow ofwater which could hamperproper circulation.

• After your pool is up andrunning smoothly, continueto test your water for pH,total alkalinity and chlorineand maintain it's balance byadding any necessary adjust-ment products (see yourdealer for details).

Water Balance Guidelines

pH: 7.2 – 7.8

Total Alkalinity: 60 – 120

Calcium Hardness: 150 – 300

Total Dissolved Solids: <2000

FROG® – Start-up and Operation

• Do not add shock in or near the skimmer or into the Cycleras it could damage equipment, risk potential explosion ordiscolor your pool surface.• THIS STEP IS VERY IMPORTANT TO START-UP.USE CHLORINE SHOCK ONLY.

• Add a stabilizer orconditioner to the pool atthe beginning of the seasonif the stabilizer level is below20 ppm. This will preventchlorine burn off. Followmanufacturer’s directionscarefully.

• Install aPOOL FROG®

Mineral Reservoirinto the Cycler.(Follow Directionson Page 7.)REMEMBER TOREPLACE YOURMINERALRESERVOIR EVERYSEASON.

• When chlorinereading is downto 1 ppm, whichmay take a fewdays, insertchlorine Bac Pac.(Followdirections onpage 9.)

• For the firstweek testthe poolwater dailyfor freechlorine toensurecorrectdial setting.Continue totest weekly throughoutthe season. Test stripsrecommended.

• After each testing, adjust thedial up by 1/2 increment if thefree chlorine reading hasdropped below .5 ppm oradjust down by 1/2 incrementif the reading has risen above1 ppm. Continue this processeach day until the free chlorinereading stabilizes between.5 and 1 ppm.

• Shock pool once a weekduring the swimming seasonor every other week duringcooler weather. Use a non-chlorine shock to reducechlorine usage or use achlorine shock. Add 1 poundper 10,000 gallons.

• Make sure Flow ControlPac is inserted inside theReservoir by lining up thePac’s legs with the openingsinside the Reservoir. This Pacacts to divert all waterthrough the minerals.

• Set dial to maximum.No adjustments needed.

• Maintain a minimumchlorine reading of .5 ppmto 1 ppm with a chlorinator,floater or hand feeding.

Follow steps 1-5 on page 5 then continue below.

• Shock pool once a week during the swimming season orevery other week during cooler weather. Use a non-chlorineshock to reduce chlorine usage or use a chlorine shock. Add1 pound per 10,000 gallons.

Remember to adjust dial ONLYby 1/2 increments, in order toprevent over chlorination whichmay bleach pool surfaces.

Trouble Shooting

What do I doif the waterlooks cloudy?

What do I doif the waterturns color?

1. Make sure your filtrationsystem is working properly(i.e. clean filter and/orskimmer).

2. Make sure circulationtime is adequate – increasepump time if not.

3. Make sure total alkalinityis within 60-120. Adjust withacid if needed.

4. Shock the water toeliminate build up of anyorganic matter.

5. Make sure pool has afree chlorine reading of.5 to 1 ppm.

6. Check with your dealerfor more information.

1. Metals in the fill watermay have been oxidized.Have the pool tested. Shockthe pool and clean the filteruntil water clarity returns.

2. Algae may be trying toform – shock the pool,increase circulation time ifneeded and clean the filter.


What do I doif algae formsin or on mypool?

1. Use a nonmetallic (polyquat)algaecide per the directionson the bottle and brush thesides of the pool often.

2. Clean the filter and shockthe pool with chlorine dailyuntil water clarity returns.

3. If you are in an area ofthe country that struggleswith algae growth, see yourdealer regarding a 90-dayNo-Algae Guarantee usingFROG® BAMTM. See producthang tag for guaranteedetails.


What do I doif I am underchlorinatingwith theBac Pac?

1. If you are unable tomaintain .5 to 1 ppm, firstmake sure there are chlorinetablets in the tower areasof the Bac Pac and it isinstalled properly. If acorrection was made, testthe water in 24 hours.

2. If still low, turn the dialup 1/2 setting and test thewater again in 24 hours.Continue raising the settingby 1/2 increment each dayuntil the proper reading isachieved.

3. Shock the pool if thereading has been lower than.5 for more than one day.

4. Increase pump time ifpossible.

What do I doif I am overchlorinatingwith theBac Pac?

1. If the chlorine reading isover 3 ppm, remove the BacPac from the Reservoir andtest the water daily until thereading is down to 1 ppm.

2. Reinsert the Bac Pac, lowerthe dial 1/2 setting and testthe water again in 24 hours.If the reading has risen,lower the dial 1/2 setting

again. Continue this processuntil proper reading isachieved.

3. If over-chlorinating at thelowest possible setting,consider decreasing thecirculation time. Dependingon your pump size, you maybe circulating the watermore than is necessary

What do I doif the cap is ontoo tight?

2. Lubricate cap o’ring withsilicone lubricant every timeyou replace a Bac Pac orReservoir.

3. Cap toolcan also beused if thedial is hardto turn.

which results in morechlorine than is necessary.

4. If decreasing circulationtime is not enough, theinstallation may need to bereviewed for a potentialby-pass (see page 19).

2. Pull down and outof the groove.

3. Using a large screwdriver,loosen the control dial bycarefully prying each sidea little at a time.

6. Insert the non-lipped endof snap ring into the grooveopening beginning at the5 o'clock position and pushit up so that it threads itselfaround the control dial.

7. Using a small screwdriveror pointed tool to help guideit, make sure the snap ringstays in the groove as it isinserted.

Then pull dial out of thehousing.

4. Carefully replace the rubbero'ring without stretching it.Squeeze a little siliconelubricant that came with yourCycler directly on the o'ringand spread it over the o'ringsurface with your finger.
