Cycler 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 #8 below for adjusting directions.
IMPORTANT:
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.
Start-up and Operation
This system is designed to work effectively with a variety of pool equipment as long as the following
basic procedures are followed.
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 cap
knobs until water appears.Then screw the knobs back on. Repeat this
process each time the caps are removed for any reason. Set the control
dial on the chlorine cycler to 6 and follow the adjustment directions in
Step 8 to determine the correct setting for your pool.

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.
Find your starting dial setting by matching up the
parameters of your pool on the above chart. An In ground
pool with approximately 18,000 gallons with a 1 horse
power pump running 6 hours a day at high speed would
require a starting dial setting of 4.5. Example above.
