Installation Tips to Ensure Proper Performance

Before installing, read all directions carefully and contact your dealer for installation support

WARNING

• Do not exceed maximum operating pressure of 50 psi.
• Do not install automatic or fast shut off valves downstream of Cyclers.
• Always install the Pool FROG XL PRO Cyclers AFTER the heater (if applicable) on the return line.
• Always install any additional sanitizing equipment AFTER and NEVER BEFORE the Pool FROG XL PRO Cyclers are installed on the return line.

1. If using a multi-speed pump, run pump for at least 6 hours per day at high speed (at least 40 gpm).
   If the pump will run on low speed 24 hours per day or less than 6 hours per day on high speed, you must bleed the air while the pump is on by unscrewing both Cycler cap knobs until water appears from both Cyclers.
   Then screw the knob back on. Repeat this process each time the cap is removed for any reason.

2. Install Cyclers with 4-8 psi back pressure.
   Lower back pressures could result in under chlorination. Change the eyeball fittings in the return jets to a smaller size to increase back pressure. Contact King Technology at 800 222-0169 for a specially designed Cycler pressure gauge to determine back pressure at pool start-up.

3. Special installation Requirements:

   • IMPORTANT: Over chlorination or damage to the Pool FROG XL PRO Cyclers or other equipment could result if special installations A, B or C are not used in these situations.
   • If water flow is higher than 80 gallons per minute (gpm), see diagram A.
   • If an in-floor cleaner is included with pool, see diagram B, with two options. Preferred installation is Option 1 with two separate lines.
   •  If set-up is a pool and spa combination with common equipment, see diagram C.
     Questions? Call Customer Service at 800-222-0169 Monday thru Friday, 8 am to 5 pm central standard time.

With High Flow Rate (greater than 80 gpm) Install T-fittings exactly as shown .

With In-Floor Cleaner – TWO OPTIONS

OPTION 1- A Two-Line Installation
The best option is to have two lines. One line with pump, filter, heater and Pool FROG XL PRO Cyclers and a second line with a separate pump for the in-floor cleaning system (filter optional).

OPTION 2 – A 3-Way Valve Installation

Pool and Spillover Spa Combination

TOOLS NEEDED

MATERIALS NEEDED
Primer and PVC Cement

SECURE CYCLERS
For better stability, Pool FROG XL PRO Cyclers may be mounted on a treated wood base using Phillips pan head screws, one in front and one in back of each Cycler. If you have questions about stability, please contact your dealer or King Technology.

In-Line Installation For pools 7,000 to 40,000 gallons

• The Pool FROG XL PRO Cyclers should always be installed between the filter and pool (or between heater and pool if applicable). Never install Pool FROG XL PRO Cyclers before the heater or damage to the heater could occur.
• Do NOT install in copper pipe if using Pool FROG Pac as chemical corrosion may lead to pipe failure.
• Do NOT install Pool FROG XL PRO Cyclers off-line.
• Install with water flowing through the minerals first and then the chlorine.
• Allow a minimum of 12” above and on each side of Pool FROG XL PRO Cyclers to ensure room for easy replacement of Pool FROG Mineral Reservoir and Pool FROG Pac.

1. Measure the distance between outside adapters and cut out a section of pipe 3” less than that dimension.
2. Following Primer directions, brush Primer on the inside of the adapters and to ends of pipe. Repeat this process with PVC cement following manufacturer’s directions on that product.
3. Insert PVC pipe into adapters with a twisting action. Hold in place 5 to 10 seconds to bond.
4. To prevent damage to heaters or filters, install a corrosion resistant check valve which will reduce the backflow of chlorine gas when the Cyclers are 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
   Do not exceed maximum operating pressure of 50 psi.

3. Check the Water Hardness of your fi ll water before adding to the pool. If calcium content is higher than 400 ppm, fi nd 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.

6. Take a water sample from the pool and dip a FROG Test Strip into it.

7.  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.

8.  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.

9. Then test your Water Hardness again. If lower than 200 ppm, add Calcium Increaser. Always maintain 200-400 ppm.

10.  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.

11. Initially shock the pool with a chlorine shock only to rid the water of contaminants and establish a chlorine residual. 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 Pool FROG XL PRO Cyclers.

Step 2: Putting the System to Work

1. Install a Pool FROG Mineral Reservoir into the Pool FROG XL PRO Mineral Cycler. (See page 12 for directions.)
   IMPORTANT:
   Replace the Pool FROG Mineral Reservoir 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 Pool FROG XL PRO Mineral Cycler, with Pool FROG Mineral Reservoir inserted, for 10 minutes on Setting MAXIMUM.

3. Insert FROG BAM into Pool FROG Mineral Reservoir in Pool FROG XL PRO Mineral Cycler. (See page 13 for directions.)
   Use FROG BAM for a 90-day

4. When chlorine reading is down to 1.0 ppm (which may take a few days) insert a Pool FROG Pac into the Pool FROG XL PRO Chlorine Cycler.(See pages14-15 for directions.

Step 3: Setting the Cycler Control Dials

1. These Cyclers are designed to work effectively with a variety of pool equipment as long as the following basic procedures are followed.
2. Set Pool FROG XL PRO Mineral Cycler control dial to Setting 10. No further adjustments are needed.
3. Set Pool FROG XL PRO 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 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, please follow the 24 hour low-speed directions below.

Bypass installation recommended. See “Installation Tips” on page 6. NR – This pump size is not recommended for this size pool.

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 from both Cyclers. Then screw the knobs back on. Repeat this process each time the caps are removed for any reason. Set the control dial on the Pool FROG XL PRO Chlorine Cycler to 6 and follow the adjustment directions below to determine the correct setting for your pool.

1. 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.
   • 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.
     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.

• 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.
• If using another means of chlorine support, set dial on the Pool FROG XL PRO Mineral Cycler to Maximum. Leave the Pool FROG XL PRO Chlorine Cycler empty. Maintain a minimum chlorine reading of 0.5 ppm with a chlorine delivery device or hand feeding.
• Use the handle end of cap tool if the dial is hard to turn.

Step 4: Routine Pool Care

1. Run filtration Cycler enough hours to circulate all water 1 to 2 times per day. More than that could result in over chlorination.

   • WARNING
   • To prevent the build up of gas pressure in the Pool FROG XL PRO Cyclers, be sure the pool return line valves are open –except when opening or servicing the unit.

2. 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.

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 Pool FROG XL PRO Cyclers, Pool FROG Mineral Reservoir, Pool FROG Pac or FROG BAM 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 Pool FROG XL PRO Cyclers, Pool FROG Mineral Reservoir, Pool FROG Pac or FROG BAM, 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 Pool FROG XL PRO Cyclers.

5. Before closing the pool for winter, use FROG BAM following the directions on page 13.

6. Remember to replace Pool FROG Mineral Reservoir and all other Pool FROG replacements as directed.

Replacing a Pool FROG Mineral Reservoir

Must be replaced every 6 months or after one pool season.

1.  Check the top of the box and back label of product to make sure you have the correct Pool FROG Mineral Reservoir to fi t your Pool FROG XL PRO Mineral Cycler.
   IMPORTANT: The Pool FROG Mineral Reservoir must be replaced every 6 months or after one pool season whichever
   is shorter.

2. IMPORTANT: Remove and read the information card.
   Please note: Complete instructions for inserting a Pool FROG Mineral Reservoir, FROG BAM and Pool FROG Pac are included inside the Pool FROG Mineral Reservoir

   • DANGER
     Never use fast dissolving chlorine tablets, liquid bleach, or calcium hypochlorite in the Pool FROG XL PRO Cyclers.

3. Turn off pump. Turn dial to Setting 0 on the Pool FROG XL PRO Mineral Cycler. This reduces the flow of water into the unit when the cap is open.

4. Open Pool FROG XL PRO Mineral Cycler cap. Use the Cycler cap tool included with Pool FROG XL PRO to loosen cap on Pool FROG XL PRO Mineral Cycler by hitting the handle with the flat of your hand counter clockwise.

Pool FROG XL PRO Cyclers Maintenance

Replacing the Control Dial O-Rings

1. Using a needle nose pliers, fi nd the snap ring tail located at approximately the five o’clock position under the control dial.
2. Pull down and out of the groove.
3. Using a large screwdriver, loosen the control dial. Carefully pry the dial until it pulls out.
4. Carefully replace the rubber O-ring without stretching it. Apply silicone lubricant, that came with your Pool FROG XL PRO Cyclers, on the O-ring.

6. Insert the non-lipped end of snap ring into the groove opening beginning at the 5 o’clock position and push it up so that it threads itself around the control dial.

   Place your thumbs on each side of the cap over the O-ring in the groove.

3. Roll your thumbs back and forth over the O-ring while pushing upward until the O-ring falls into the top of the groove.

4. Lubricate O-ring every couple of months with silicone lubricant that came with your Pool FROG XL PRO Cyclers.
   DO NOT USE petroleum based lubricants.
