Troubleshooting
1. Make sure your filtration
system is working properly
(i.e. clean filter, skimmer and
pump basket).
2. Make sure circulation time
is adequate – increase pump
time if not.
3. Make sure the pool is
properly balanced
(see page 3).
4. Shock the water to
eliminate build up of any
organic matter.
5. Make sure pool has a
free chlorine reading of
1.0 to 3.0 ppm.
6. Check with your dealer
for more information.
1. Metals in the fill water may
have been oxidized. Have the
pool tested. Shock the pool
and clean the filter until water
clarity returns.
2. Algae may be trying to
form – shock the pool,
increase circulation time if
needed and clean the filter.
3. Check with your dealer for
more information.
1. Use an algaecide per the
directions on the bottle and
brush the sides of the pool
often.
2. Clean the filter and shock
the pool with chlorine daily
until water clarity returns.
3. Check with your dealer for
more information.
1. Make sure there are chlorine
tablets in the Perform-Max.
Consider using 1” tablets over
3” pucks for greater output.
2. If reading dropped below
1.0 ppm, shock pool. Turn
control dial to minimum when
shocking and NEVER ADD
SHOCK IN OR NEAR THE
SKIMMER. Reset dial 1/2
setting higher than before
and continue monitoring daily
until desired chemical level is
acheived.
3. Make sure pump run time
is at least 6 hours on high
speed (40 gpm or higher) or
if not, bleed the air from the
cap knob (see page 17 for
directions).
4. Try bleeding the air, soaking
tablets for greater output.
5. Contact your dealer to have
your back pressure tested to
ensure it is at least 4 psi.
6. Check for a suction side
leak by looking for air bubbles
in your pump basket or at the
return jet. Contact dealer for
help in correcting this situation.
7. Contact King Technology’s
Customer Service Department
at 800-222-0169.
1. Turn dial to minimum or
0. When reading drops to
desired ppm, reset dial
1 setting lower than the
starting dial setting and
continue monitoring daily.
2. Consider switching 1 inch
tablets to 3 inch pucks for
less output.
3. If over-chlorinating at the
lowest possible setting,
consider decreasing the
circulation time. Depending
on your pump size, you may
be circulating the water
more than is necessary.
4. Contact your dealer to
have your back pressure
tested. If over 8 psi consider
a larger eye-ball fitting in the
return jet.
5. Check to see if the
pressure relief valve is
loose or missing and
replace. It is a clear plastic
piece approximately 1” long
installed inside near the base.
If loose or missing, it can
provide another avenue for
water to reach the chlorine.
