circulate all water 1 to 2 times per

Remember to replace FROG
Pool Tender Mineral Chamber
and all other FROG Pool Tender
replacements as directed.
Shock the pool every other week
or as needed. We recommend a
non-chlorine shock as reducing
chlorine use is the goal of FROG
products. However, using a chlorine
shock is OK too.
Before closing the pool for winter,
use FROG Pool Tender Algaecide
following the directions on page 16.
Maintain 0.5 to 1.0 ppm free
chlorine level at all times.
Note:
These lower chlorine levels
are only acceptable when using
FROG minerals.
Regularly test water with FROG Test
Strips to maintain pH and Total
Alkalinity.
NOTE:
Water balance is affected
by bather load, chemical usage,
evaporation and the makeup of
source water, so maintaining water
balance regularly is important.
WARNING
To prevent the build up of gas pressure in the FROG Pool
Tender Cycler, be sure the pool return line valves are open
–except when opening or servicing the unit.
DANGER
• Never add any other types of chlorine, pH adjusters,
shock treatments or algaecides through the skimmer.
These products should be added directly into the
pool if required.
• Never use fast dissolving chlorine tablets, liquid
bleach, or calcium hypochlorite in the FROG Pool
Tender
Cycler.
DANGER
Do not contaminate the FROG Pool Tender Cycler,
FROG Pool Tender Mineral Chamber, FROG Pool Tender
Chlorine Chamber or FROG Pool Tender Algaecide
with dirt, organic matter, pool chemicals (such as
calcium hypochlorite or pool shocks), fertilizers or
other household chemicals. Contact between any of
these substances and the FROG Pool Tender Cycler,
FROG Pool Tender Mineral Chamber, FROG Pool Tender
Chlorine Chamber or FROG Pool Tender Algaecide,
will result in a chemical reaction with the generation
of heat, liberation of hazardous gasses and fi re or
explosion.
