  5. To prevent damage to heaters or filters, see your dealer about installing a corrosion resistant check valve which will reduce the back flow of chlorine gas when the Infuzer is turned off.

Step 1: Preparing the Pool

  1. Make sure the pool has adequate circulation. The total volume of pool water must completely circulate through the pump and filter at least 1 to 2 times per day. This usually requires 8 to 12 hours of circulation. Check with your dealer for the proper circulation time for your pool.

  2. Check the pool’s filter gauge often and periodically clean filter per the manufacturer’s directions. A dirty filter will slow the flow of water which could hamper proper circulation.
    WARNING

  3. Do not exceed maximum operating pressure of 50 psi. Check the Water Hardness of your fill water before adding to the pool. If calcium content is higher than 400 ppm find a soft water source to fill your pool instead; otherwise water balance will be very difficult.

  4. Check for metals in the pool such as iron or copper. Before attempting water balance these should be removed. See your dealer for a metal out or sequesterant and follow the label directions carefully.

  5. Before beginning with any pool care program, you must first balance your pool water. Take a water sample to your local pool professional (or use a complete test kit) to test for the important Water Balance Guidelines.
    IMPORTANT: Always follow printed instructions on the balancing chemical packages. Add balancing chemicals in small increments, one at a time, with circulation running. For best results, wait 8-12 hours before testing again and adding any additional balancing chemicals.
    Water Balance Guidelines
    **** pH:| 7.2 – 7.8
    ---|---
    Total Alkalinity:| 80 – 120 ppm
    Hardness:| 200 – 400
    Total Dissolved Solids:| <1500
    Stabilizer:| 20 – 80 ppm
    Free Chlorine:| 0.5 – 1.0 ppm

For best results in achieving water balance, follow steps 5a through 5e in order.
5a. Take a water samplefrom the pool and dip a FROG Test Strip into it. 5b. Look at the Total Alkalinity reading first. Adjustments should be made to bring the Total Alkalinity in the range of 80 – 120 ppm prior to making any adjustments to pH even if it throws pH off further.7872 Frog Leap Mineral
System - Preparing the Pool 55c. After Total Alkalinity is in range, test for pH. It should be between 7.2 and 7.8. If higher or lower, add a pH adjuster.7872 Frog Leap
Mineral System - Preparing the Pool 65d. Then test your Water Hardness again. If lower than 200 ppm, add Calcium Increaser. Always maintain 200-400 ppm.
5e. Lastly, test for stabilizer or conditioner levels. Add conditioner if the level is below 20 ppm. This will prevent chlorine burn off. If stabilizer level is above 80 ppm, partially drain water and re-fill.

  1. Initially shock the pool with a chlorine shock only to rid the water of contaminants and establish a chlorineresidual. Always follow the manufacturer’s directions carefully. See the DANGER box below for important guidance on shocking.

DANGER

  • Never add any other types of chlorine or shock treatments 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 Leap Infuzer.

Step 2: Putting the System to Work

  1. Install a FROG Leap Anti-Bac Mineral Pac into the FROG Leap Infuzer. (See page 15 for directions.)
    IMPORTANT:
    Replace the FROG Leap AntiBac Mineral Pac every 6 months or after one pool season, whichever is shorter. After that time, you will hear the spent media inside, however it is no longer effective and must be replaced.

  2. Replace cap and run FROG Leap Infuzer, with FROG Leap Anti-Bac Mineral Pac inserted, for 10 minutes on Setting 10.

  3. Shock the pool with FROG Leap Depth Charge to rid the water of contaminants. (See page 16 for FROG Leap Depth Charge directions.)

  4. Create a chlorine residual with FROG Leap Reveille. (See page 16 for FROG Leap Reveille directions.)
    DANGER
    If using standard chlorine shocks do not add in or near the skimmer or into the FROG Leap Infuzer as it could damage equipment, risk potential explosion or discolor your pool surface.7872 Frog Leap Mineral System - Putting the
System to Work 4

  5. Insert FROG Leap All-Out into the open center of the FROG Leap Anti-Bac Mineral Pac in the Infuzer. (See page 17 for directions.)

  6. When chlorine reading is down to 1.0 ppm, which may take a few days, insert FROG Leap Torpedo Pac into the open center of the FROG Leap Anti-Bac Mineral Pac. (See page 18 for directions.)

Step 3: Setting the Control Dial

  1. This system is designed to work effectively with a variety of pool equipment as long as the following procedures are followed. Set the 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 fi t 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 per day, please follow the 24 hour low-speed directions below.POOL SIZE

25.000| NR| 6.5| 6.0| 5.5

Find your starting dial setting by matching up the parameters of your pool on the above chart. A pool with approximately 12,000 gallons with a 1 horsepower pump running 12 hours a day would require a starting setting of 4.5.

  1. For the fi rst 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.

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.

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.

Step 4: Routine Pool Care

  1. Run filtration enough hours to circulate all water 1 to 2 times peday. More than that could result inover chlorination.  WARNING
    To prevent the build up of gas pressure in the FROG Leap Infuzer, be sure the pool return line valves are open except when opening or servicing the unit.

  2. Regularly test water with FROG TestStrips 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.

  3. 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.
    DANGER
    Do not contaminate the FROG Leap Infuzer, FROG Leap Anti-Bac Mineral Pac, FROG Leap Torpedo Pac or FROG Leap Pool Wake Up!/Pool Hibernation (which includes FROG Leap Reveille, FROG Leap Depth Charge and FROG Leap All-Out) 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 Leap Infuzer, FROG Leap Anti-Bac Mineral Pac, FROG Leap Torpedo Pac or FROG Leap Pool Wake Up!/ Pool Hibernation, will result in a chemical reaction with the generation of heat, liberation of hazardous gasses and fi re or explosion.

  4. 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. DANGER
    • Never add any other types of chlorine or shock treatments 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 Leap Infuzer.

  5. Before closing the pool for the winter, use FROG Leap Pool Hibernation following the same directions as FROG Leap Pool Wake Up! on page 16.7872 Frog Leap Mineral System - Routine Pool Care 2

  6. Remember to replace FROG Leap Anti-Bac Mineral Pac and all other FROG Leap replacements as directed.

Problem Remedy
1. What do I do if the water looks cloudy? 1. Make sure your filtration

system is working properly (i.e. clean fi lter, 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 10.)
4. Shock the water to eliminate build up of any organic matter.
5. Make sure pool has a free chlorine reading of 0.5 to 1.0 ppm.
6. Check with your dealer for more information.
2. What do I do if the water turns color?| 1. Algae may be trying to form  – shock the pool, increasecirculation time if needed and clean the filter.
2. Metals in the fill water may have been oxidized. Have the pool tested. See pool dealer if a metal control product is required.
3. Check with your dealer for more information.
3. What do I do if algae forms in or on my pool?| 1. Use FROG Leap All-Out or an effective algaecide per the directions on the bottle and brush the sides of the pool often
2. Clean the fi lter and shock the pool with chlorine daily untilwater clarity returns.
3. If you are in an area of the country that struggles with algae growth, see your dealer regarding a 90-day Algae-Protection Guarantee
4. What do I do if I am under chlorinating with the FROG Leap Torpedo Pac?| 1. If you are unable to maintain 0.5 to 1.0 ppm, first make sure there are chlorine tablets in the tower areas of
the FROG Leap Torpedo Pac and it is installed properly. If a correction was made, test the water in 24 hours.
2. If still low, turn the dial up one setting and test the water again in 24 hours. Continue raising the setting by one
increment each day until the proper reading is achieved.
3. Shock the pool if the reading has been lower than 0.5 ppm for more than one day.
4. 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 back knob each time cap is open.
5. Contact your dealer to have your back pressure tested. If under 4 psi, consider a smaller  eyeball fi tting in the return jet.
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.
5. What do I do if I am over chlorinating with the FROG Leap Torpedo Pac?| 1. If the chlorine reading is over 3.0 ppm, remove the FROG Leap Torpedo Pac from the FROG Leap Anti-Bac
Mineral Pac and test the waterdaily until the reading is down to 1.0 ppm.
2. Reinsert the FROG Leap Torpedo Pac, lower the dial one setting and test the water again in 24 hours. If the reading has risen, lower the dial one setting again. Continue this process until proper reading is achieved.
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 eyeball fitting in the return jet.
5. Check to see if the pressure relief valve is loose or missing and replace. See parts diagram on page 21.
6. If these steps are not successful and your Infuzer is installed using the 6” nipple, we have found changing the installation can make a difference. You will need a section of flex hose and 2 hose adapters to do this. See page 8 for directions.
