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 back knobs until water
appears from both Cyclers. Then screw
the knob back in. Repeat this process
each time the cap is removed for any reason.
2) Install system with 4-8 psi back pressure.
Lower back pressures could result in under
chlorination. Change the eyeball ttings 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:
•If water ow is higher than 80 gallons per minute (gpm),
see diagram A.
•If an in-oor 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.

the heater could occur.
Apply pipe thread tape or
sealant to the threaded end
of both hose adapters.
Screw adapters into each end of the POOL FROG Twin
Cyclers. Hand tighten. Finish tightening by turning 1 to 2
revolutions with a pipe wrench. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
Attach the lter section of ex hose to one
hose adapter and the return section of ex
hose to the other hose adapter with clamps
and tighten with screwdriver. Bi-ow valve
design allows water ow in either direction.
To prevent damage to
heaters or lters, see your
dealer about installing a

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 lter 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.
3.
5.
4.
Water Balance Guidelines
pH: 7.2 – 7.8
Total Alkalinity: 80 – 120 ppm
Calcium Hardness: 200 – 400
Total Dissolved Solids: <1500
Stabilizer: 20 – 80 ppm
Free Chlorine: 0.5 – 1.0 ppm
Check the pool’s lter gauge often
and periodically clean lter per
the manufacturer’s directions.
A dirty lter will slow the ow of
water which could hamper proper
circulation.
Check the Water Hardness of your ll water before
adding to the pool. If calcium content is higher than
400 ppm, nd a soft water source to ll your pool
instead; otherwise water balance will be very difcult.
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.
Before beginning with any pool care program, you
must rst 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.

Continue... Step 1: Preparing the Pool
5b. Look at the Total Alkalinity reading rst. 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.
5c. 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.
5d. 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-ll.
5a. Take a water sample
from the pool and dip a
FROG Test Strip into it.
For best results in achieving water balance, follow
steps 5a through 5e in order.

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 back knobs until water appears from both Cyclers.
Then screw the knobs back in. Repeat this process each time
the caps are removed for any reason. Set the control dial on the
POOL FROG Twin Chlorine Cycler to 6 and follow the adjustment
directions in Step 2 to determine the correct setting for your
pool.
^ – Bypass installation recommended. See “Installation Tips” on page 6. RECOMMENDED FLOW RATE: 20-60 gpm
NR – This pump size is not recommended for this size pool.
Find your starting dial setting by matching up the parameters of your
pool on the above chart. An above ground pool with approximately
12.000 gallons with a 1 horse pump running 12 hours a day would
require a starting setting of 2.0.
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.
EXAMPLE
These Cyclers are designed to work effectively with a variety of pool equipment as long as the following basic procedures are followed.
1a. Set POOL FROG Twin Mineral Cycler control dial to Setting 10. No further adjustments are needed.
1b. Set POOL FROG Twin 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 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.

13
Step 4: Routine Pool Care
Run ltration system enough hours
to circulate all water 1 to 2 times per
day. More than that could result in
over chlorination.
2.
3.
1. 4.
6. Remember to replace POOL FROG
Mineral Reservoir and all other
POOL FROG 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.
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. 5. Before closing the pool for winter,
use FROG BAM following the
directions on page 15.
®
WARNING
To prevent the build up of gas pressure in the POOL FROG
Twin Cyclers, be sure the pool return line valves are open –
except when opening or servicing the unit.
DANGER
Do not contaminate the POOL FROG Twin Cyclers,
POOL FROG Mineral Reservoir, POOL FROG Pac or

(such as calcium hypochlorite or pool shocks), fertilizers
or other household chemicals. Contact between any
of these substances and the POOL FROG Twin 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
re or explosion.
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 POOL FROG
Twin Cyclers.

Problem Remedy
What do I do
if the water looks
cloudy?
1. Make sure your ltration system
is working properly (i.e. clean 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 9).
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.
What do I do
if the water turns
color?
1. Algae may be trying to form –
shock the pool, increase circulation
time if needed and clean the lter.
2. Metals in the ll 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.
What do I do
if algae forms in
or on my pool?
1. Use FROG BAM or an effective
algaecide per the directions on
the bottle and brush the sides of
the pool often.
2. Clean the lter and shock the
pool with chlorine daily until water
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 using FROG BAM.
See product hang tag for
guarantee details.
4. Check with your dealer for
more information.
What do I do
if I am under
chlorinating
with the POOL
FROG Pac?
1. If you are unable to maintain
0.5 to 1.0 ppm, rst make sure
there are chlorine tablets in the
tower areas of the POOL FROG
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 knobs each
time cap is open.
5. Contact your dealer to have your
back pressure tested. If under 4
psi, consider a smaller eye-ball
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. Your water level will be low
and the skimmer will be taking
in air. Contact dealer for help in
correcting this situation.
7. Contact King Technology’s
Customer Service Department at
800-222-0169.
What do I do
if I am over
chlorinating
with the POOL
FROG Pac?
1. If the chlorine reading is over
3.0 ppm, remove the POOL FROG
Pac from the POOL FROG Twin
Chlorine Cycler and test the water
daily until the reading is down to
1.0 ppm.
2. Reinsert the POOL FROG 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 eye-
ball tting 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.
