For the first week test the pool water
daily for free chlorine with FROG Test
Strips to ensure correct dial setting.
Continue to test weekly throughout
the season.
Step 3: Setting the Cycler Control Dials
1.
2.
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.

24 HOUR, LOW SPEED,PUMP-RUN TIME
In order to ensure proper performance when running the pump
on low speed for 24 hours per day or high speed less than 6
hours per day, bleed the air while the pump is on by unscrewing
BOTH Cycler back knobs until water appears from both Cyclers.
Then screw the knobs back in. Repeat this process each time
the caps are removed for any reason. Set the control dial on the
POOL FROG Twin Chlorine Cycler to 6 and follow the adjustment
directions in Step 2 to determine the correct setting for your
pool.
^ – Bypass installation recommended. See “Installation Tips” on page 6.
RECOMMENDED FLOW RATE: 20-60 gpm
NR – This pump size is not recommended for this size pool.
Find your starting dial setting by matching up the parameters of your
pool on the above chart. An above ground pool with approximately
12.000 gallons with a 1 horse pump running 12 hours a day would
require a starting setting of 2.0.
IMPORTANT:
Control dial settings in excess of these
recommendations could result in excess trichlor levels being
discharged into the pool. This can result in bleaching or
discoloration of areas around the pool inlet or in some cases
bleaching or discoloration of the entire pool liner or paint. In
addition, excess trichlor in the pool can create health hazards
to bathers.
EXAMPLE
These Cyclers are designed to work effectively with a variety of pool equipment as long as the following basic procedures are followed.
1a.
Set POOL FROG Twin Mineral Cycler control dial to Setting 10. No further adjustments are needed.
1b.
Set POOL FROG Twin Chlorine Cycler 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 #2 below for adjusting directions.
IMPORTANT:
If using
a multi- speed pump, pump-run times of at least 6 hours per day at high speed are recommended for proper performance.
If running the pump at low speed only or on high speed less than 6 hours, please follow the 24 hour low-speed directions below.
