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 feeder.
• Always install the POOL FROG Cycler AFTER the
heater (if applicable) on the return line.
• Always install any additional sanitizing equipment
AFTER and NEVER BEFORE the POOL FROG Cycler is
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
the cap knob until water appears. Then
screw the knob back on. Repeat this
process each time the cap is removed
for any reason.
2) Install Cycler 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 Cycler 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.
