Pool Start-up & Winterizing
How do I start-up my pool every spring?
- Circulate your pool water 24 hours per day until pool start-up is complete.
- Make sure your pool is free of any existing algae.
Use an algaecide if needed following manufacturer’s directions.
- Make sure your fill water is not too high in metals.
You may use a sequestering agent or metal out product at pool opening.
- Balance your pool water. Take a sample to your local pool dealer
or use a complete test kit that will test for important elements.
Click here for water balance guidelines.
- Establish a free chlorine residual by shocking the
pool with a chlorine shock and begin your pool maintenance program.
What is the correct setting for my control dial?
Each product has a specific setting based on pool size,
pump size, and pump run time. The proper dial setting is important for maintaining the
correct chlorine level. See your manual or
click here for directions on how to achieve the correct setting. How should my King product be winterized?
- Turn the pump off and turn the control dial all the way to the left.
- Unscrew side drain valve to relieve pressure.
- Remove cap.
- Unscrew drain valve in back of in ground units or
front of above ground units. Allow all water to drain.
- Remove all chlorine or minerals from the unit and store or discard as directed.
- Replace cap and drain valves loosely.
Operating Tips
How often should I shock my pool?
Shock the pool once a week during the swimming season
or every other week during cooler weather.
What type of shock should I use?
Use a chlorine shock only at start-up. Use a non-chlorine shock
or chlorine shock during the pool season. Follow the manufacturer’s directions for use.
What other chemicals or products should I use?
- Add a stabilizer or conditioner to the pool at the beginning of the
season if the stabilizer level is below 20ppm. This will prevent chlorine
burn off. Follow the manufacturer’s directions.
- If your pool is prone to algae, use a preventative like
FROG® BAM™ 90-Day Algae Preventative.
How often should I run my pump?
NSPI standards
call for a 1 to 1.5 turn over rate per day, meaning every gallon
of water should
travel through the pump 1 to 1.5 times per day. To calculate the
proper pump run time for your pool based on general NSPI
guidelines you will first need to know
how many gallons of water your pool holds. With this information, you can then
determine the proper pump run time for your pool.
Most pools run between 8 and 12 hours per day. Installing a timer
can make life much easier and filtration time more consistent.
Remember when your pump is running, you are continuously
putting chlorine into the pool.
How do I replace and maintain my Cap O-Rings?
- Hold the cap in front of you upside down with the o-ring groove
facing up. Place one end of the o-ring into the cap groove at
the point closet to you. Hold o-ring down with the thumb and
forefinger of one hand.
- Take hold of the far end of the o-ring with the thumb
and index finger of the other hand. Roll o-ring slightly
back towards you as you stretch the o-ring into the remainder of the cap groove.
- Lubricate o-ring every time a bac pac or mineral reservoir is replaced.
Use the silicone lubricant that came with your equipment.
DO NOT USE petroleum-based lubricants, as these can damage o-rings.
- Note: Instructions and pictures explaining this process can
be found in your instruction manual or visit Manuals & Diagrams. If you need
more silicone lubricant, please call 800-222-0169 to order.
How do I obtain a new instruction manual?
New instruction manuals may be downloaded from Manuals
and Diagrams or you may call 1-800-222-0169 to have one
sent to you via U.S. Mail.
How do I replace my control dial?
The in ground and above ground control dials are
slightly different in their installation.
Instructions and diagrams explaining how to replace a
control dial can be found in your instruction manual or visit Manuals
and Diagrams.
Troubleshooting
What is the best method to remove a tight cap?
- Use the cap tool to loosen cap by hitting the handle
counter clockwise. Note: A quick blunt hit from the
palm of your open hand works best to loosen a tight cap.
- Lubricate cap o-ring with silicone lubricant every
time you replace a pac or refill the unit.
Do not use petroleum based lubricants!
My cap is cracked. How do I replace it?
Call our customer service department at 800-222-0169 to place a warranty claim.
We may direct you to your dealer for a replacement cap.
Please provide the model number, serial number, date of purchase
and exact description of the crack/problem.
What other equipment on my pool affects my King Technology product?
- The pump: King Technology products work best with
pumps rated between 20 and 80gpm.
- The filter: If it is clogged, circulation through
the King Technology product will be poor.
- Return fittings: Back pressure may be too high or too low.
Simply changing the return jet eyeball size can correct this.
- An in-floor cleaner: These cause pressure spikes in
the plumbing that could result in cap cracks or over-chlorination
if not installed properly.
The control dial does not seem to impact my chlorine readings. What’s wrong?
There are many factors that impact chlorine output
into the pool including weather, pool usage and pump run time.
That means every year your dial setting may be different.
See your manual or
click here for directions on how to achieve the correct setting.
Can a bad or missing pressure relief valve cause over-chlorination?
The pressure relief valve burps any built up chlorine gas
into the lines when the pump is off. A missing pressure relief valve
in the bottom of the cycler increases the water level in the unit.
This can lead to over-chlorination.
Will the size of the eyeballs at my return jets affect
back pressure?
Yes, and the result can be over or under chlorination.
Simply by going to a larger eyeball fitting in the return jet,
you can reduce the back pressure, which reduces the water level
in the Pac, which cuts down on chlorine output. This same logic
applies to low back pressure and under chlorination. By using
a smaller eyeball fitting at the return jet you increase
back pressure raising the water level in the Pac, and increasing
chlorine output.
Pool Water Chemistry
Chlorine and Bromine
Why do I continually experience high chlorine readings?
Why do I continually experience low chlorine readings?
What should my chlorine readings be?
NSPI standards for chlorine pools is 1-3ppm. When using
minerals for sanitation, chlorine levels may be reduced to 0.5-1ppm.
How should I test for chlorine?
There are several test methods available through your
local pool and spa dealer. These include drop tests or strips.
Either method is fine as long as it measures the following
four parameters: pH, total alkalinity, total chlorine
and free chlorine.
Can I use bromine with your systems?
Bromine may be used with our Spa Frog Mineral Systems as
this sanitizer works well with minerals in a hot water environment.
It may also be used in our Perform-Max bulk feeders for swimming pools.
At this time, we are not recommending the use of bromine with our
Pool Frog or Instant Frog.
What's the difference between "total" chlorine and "free" chlorine?
Total chlorine is just as it sounds, the total amount of chlorine in the water.
However when chlorine binds up with contaminants it forms a compound called “chloramines”
that are no longer effective sanitizers and need to be removed through shocking.
The chlorine that is still “good” to keep working is the free chlorine.
If directions call for maintaining a 1ppm chlorine level, always make sure
that matches your free chlorine reading.
My test strips show no chlorine reading even after shocking. Why?
Test kits are susceptible to bleaching in high concentrations
of chlorine such as after shocking. Wait 24 hours after shocking and test again.
My pool has a heavy chlorine smell. Does this mean I have too
much chlorine in the pool?
No, it means you have too many “chloramines” in the pool.
This is chlorine that has already bound up with contaminants in the
water and is no longer an effective sanitizer. Shock the pool to
remove the chloramines and your odor will go away.
What are common causes of high chlorine demand?
Weather and use are the two biggest demands on chlorine.
For pools or spas that are uncovered and outdoors, airborne
particles, leaves and other contaminants can enter and consume chlorine.
Hot weather increases water temperature, which will consume
chlorine at a faster rate. Finally the more people in
the water, the more contaminants there are for the chlorine to remove.
Pool Water Balancing
Do you have recommended water balance guidelines?
What kind of test kit do you recommend?
There are several test methods available through your
local pool and spa dealer. These include drop tests or strips.
Either method is fine as long as it measures the following four
parameters: pH, total alkalinity, total chlorine (or bromine) and
free chlorine (or bromine).
Should my pool store test my water?
It’s always a good idea to have your pool store fully
test your water once you have completed your pool opening process to make
sure everything is in line for a great summer. If you experience any
difficulties with balancing or sanitizing, have your pool store test
the water and give you an analysis of what needs to be done to correct the situation.
My pool's pH is hard to control. Why?
Everything that enters your pool has a pH that
can raise or lower the total pH of the pool.
The following is a list of possible culprits that
could be giving you a difficult time in maintaining pH between
the desired range of 7.2 and 7.8.
- Tap water, depending on the area of the country, can either have a low or high pH
- Overestimating the amount of pH Decreaser or pH Increaser needed is often the problem
- Using chlorine tablets (Trichlor), or bromine tend to lower pH over time, while
using shocks like Calcium Hypochlorite or Lithium Hypochlorite may raise the pH over time.
- High bather loads will tend to lower pH.
- Swimmer wastes, such as perspiration, urine, saliva and other body oils will also lower pH.
- A high alkalinity reading will raise the pH.
- Dirt, debris or leaves that blow into the pool as well as rain that is often acidic will lower pH.
What's the difference between pH and alkalinity?
pH is the abbreviation for “potential hydrogen” and the reading indicates the concentration of hydrogen ions in the water. Basically, it is the measure of how acidic or basic (alkaline) the water is.
Total alkalinity is the measure of how stable the pH is. It measures the
pool water’s
buffering capacity to resist pH changes. Without control of the total alkalinity,
the pH will rise and fall abruptly.
What impact do weather conditions have on my pool?
Weather affects the chlorine level in the pool as well
as the pH. Hot weather will increase the water temperature, which
causes the chlorine to be consumed more quickly. Cool weather will
result in no chlorine demand. Your sanitizing unit may need to be
turned down to avoid too much chlorine entering the pool when very little is needed.
Rain is often acidic which can drive your pH down. Always check the
water balance after it rains.
What is calcium hardness?
Calcium Hardness (or Total Hardness), as the name implies, refers to the hardness of the water, measuring the amount of mainly calcium and also other minerals. Swimming pools require hard water – defined as water with more than 100 ppm of hardness ions.
Like pH and alkalinity, calcium hardness affects the tendency of pool water to be corrosive when it is low and scale forming when it is high. Generally, calcium hardness levels should be kept between 200 and 400 ppm.
Why should I use clear pool aids, such as clarifiers?
If the water is hazy or you can’t see to the bottom of
the pool or spa, a shock treatment usually will clear it up. If this persists
or the shock is not enough, clarifiers or flocculants may be used.
Should I be concerned about landscaping around my pool?
Yes. Landscaping chemicals often contain nitrates that
consume chlorine and make it difficult to maintain the proper sanitation
levels.
Try to cover the pool when using fertilizers and keep trees or shrubs
that lose their leaves as far from the pool as possible.
Algae, Cloudy Water, Colored Water
What is algae?
Algae is one of the most persistent forms
of plant life. Algae common to pools include green, yellow,
black or pink slime. It can be free floating in the water or it
can cling to walls, floor and equipment. Nourished by sunlight and heat,
algae thrives in water with a high pH level and water with a high nitrogen
or phosphate level.
How did I get algae?
Insufficient sanitizer levels are the main
cause but improper water balance and poor circulation can attribute to algae as well.
How do I get rid of algae?
Run filtration continuously while adding a
chlorine shock and brushing the walls of the pool and vacuuming.
Clean and backwash filter every day until clarity returns.
An algaecide, such as FROG® BAM™,
may also be used with the same brushing and vacuuming routine. Why did my pool water turn cloudy?
Cloudy water is due to a build up of contaminants from
body oils, cosmetics, etc due to a dirty filter, high bather load, drop
in sanitizer level or the water being out of balance. Use a clarifier
or shock to remove the contaminants and correct any of the possible reasons
to prevent it’s reoccurrence.
Click here for water balance guidelines. What causes colored water?
Colored water results either from algae blooming or the oxidation
of minerals in the water. Algae comes in a variety of colors and can be found on
the surface of the water or the pool itself. The more likely reason occurs after
shocking a freshly filled pool that is full of natural minerals like iron, copper or
magnesium. The shock oxidizes the metals causing the discoloration of brown, green or red.
Pool Filtration
How does the filter affect water quality?
The filter not only removes impurities from the water
but it is responsible for proper water flow throughout the pool.
If the filter is dirty, it cannot do it’s job. If the pressure gauge
on the filter is more than 10 pounds above its normal operating pressure
or if water flow out of the return jets is sluggish (i.e. two-thirds of
its normal force),
your filter is probably dirty and should be cleaned.
Other filter issues to watch for include:
- Channeling in sand filters caused by dirty sand contaminated with oils.
- Backwash valves not operating properly; leaking cloudy water through the
returns after backwashing the pool.
- Rips in the DE support fabric, which results in DE being put into the
pool water.
- If the cartridge is torn, debris particles are not stopped by the filter
and reenter the pool.
- The hair and lint strainer is filled debris, reducing circulation rate.
- The skimmer basket is filled with leaves or other debris, reducing circulation.
- A suction side leak causes air to enter the pump and filter, resulting in poor circulation that could result in cloudy water.
Installation
Minerals In Your Pool
POOL FROG®
Why should I use the POOL FROG® System?
Less work. Less chlorine.
The Pool Frog system offers innovative mineral
Technology for pool care. With Pool Frog, water will look and
feel better without a lot of work or chemicals. This system controls
bacteria and prevents algae growth using a combination of minerals and
reduced chlorine levels. The end result is softer water that has an
added sparkle.
What are the four parts to the POOL FROG® System?
The POOL FROG® System is 4 parts in one. First, the
POOL FROG Cycler serves as a “Water Treatment Center” and controls the flow
of water. Second, the POOL FROG Mineral Reservoir, the essential part
of the system, is
placed inside the Cycler and holds one season’s worth of minerals. Third, a
Chlorine Bac Pac is placed inside the POOL FROG Mineral Reservoir. Fourth,
your
pool can receive guaranteed algae protection for 90 days by using FROG® BAM™.
How often will the Chlorine Bac Pac need to be replaced?
For in ground pools, the Chlorine Bac Pac should last 7 to 10 days.
For above ground pools, 2-3 weeks. Actual times will vary depending on pool
size, pump size and run time, number of swimmers, water and air temperatures.
Can I use only the Mineral Reservoir and not the Chlorine Bac Pacs?
Yes, but a chlorine residual of 0.5 to 1ppm must be maintained by
using another means of chlorine support such as floater, chlorinator,
or hand feeding. Set the control dial to maximum if using POOL FROG® this way.
Can I use bromine with the POOL FROG® System?
We cannot recommend bromine support because the
POOL FROG will be EPA registered for use with chlorine only.
Can the POOL FROG® System be used with an ionizer?
No, there is no need to duplicate the mineral content
in the water (especially silver). The potential for over-dosing could lead to problems.
Can I cut the Bac Pac open when it's empty and refill it with bulk chlorine?
You should not attempt to convert the POOL FROG® System
into a bulk feeder for a number of reasons. The cycler will experience a
loss of control, which could result in over chlorination, and more importantly
the warranty would be void for not using as directed.
Can the POOL FROG® System be used with an Ozone
System or Salt Chlorine Generator?
The POOL FROG, when used as a complete system with periodic
shocking, offers complete pool care in one complete unit. Some builders
promote the addition of
other systems to compliment the POOL FROG, such as Ozone Systems or
Salt Chlorine Generators. Both of these systems are compatible with
the POOL FROG. Ozone acts as a shocking
mechanism reducing the need for shock. We still require a low-level
chlorine residual in the pool at all times. Salt Chlorine Generators
would eliminate the need for
POOL FROG Chlorine Bac Pacs. The Salt Chlorine Generator should be adjusted
down to maintain a lower level of chlorine in the pool.
Why won't the tablets in my Bac Pac dissolve?
The most common cause is that the chlorine tablets
have not fallen down into the area where the water flows through.
Shake the pac to make the tablets fall into place. Low back pressure
may also be the reason. By reducing the size of the eyeball fitting
in the
return will correct this. Please visit Under-Chlorination if
problem persists. What is the warranty coverage?
The POOL FROG® has a limited 2-year warranty, which
can be extended to ten years if the warranty card is returned or submitted
online
within 60 days of installation. Click
here to register your product online. For full warranty details,
see the back of your instruction manual. Can I convert from Baquacil or Biguanide to POOL FROG®?
Yes, but first you must convert the pool to a chlorine pool.
Many pool dealers sell kits to convert pools to chlorine.
FROG® BAM™
Why should I use FROG® BAM™?
Algae are a pool’s worse nightmare. Even with a
great water care system like the POOL FROG®, those steaming summer days,
poor circulation pockets or accidental drops in chlorine levels could cause
what no pool owner ever asks for. How can you guarantee that algae won’t
ruin your summer this year? With FROG® BAM™!How does it work?
It’s so easy; just follow our 90/90 rule.
Insert FROG® BAM™ into the into the Mineral Reservoir, set your
control dial to maximum and run your pump for 90 minutes, allowing BAM to circulate in
your pool water. After 90 minutes, remove the BAM cartridge and discard.
Put the chlorine Bac Pac back in the Mineral Reservoir. That’s all you need to do.
Your pool is now protected from algae for 90 days!
What are the active ingredients in FROG® BAM™?
The main active ingredient is copper. Unlike many
algaecides FROG BAM uses a very low level of copper, just 3%, and it
stays in suspension for 90 days!
Could the copper in FROG® BAM™ stain my pool?
FROG® BAM™ will not stain if used as directed.
Thousands of customers have used it with great results.
INSTANT FROG®
What is the INSTANT FROG®?
Mineral pool care…instantly. All the same great
mineral benefits as POOL FROG® that go to work as soon as you place it in your
skimmer basket. Less chlorine, less work and better water quality.
Is INSTANT FROG® for everyone?
No, INSTANT FROG is designed for existing in ground pools
up to 30,000 gallons. It will not work on above ground pools.
What's in INSTANT FROG®?
INSTANT FROG contains the same innovative mineral
technology that is used in our POOL FROG® System. Silver, zinc and limestone.
How long does INSTANT FROG® last?
Six months. Simply set the easy reminder dial
to six months from the date of purchase and let INSTANT FROG sit in your skimmer.

Spa Water Chemistry
Bromine & Chlorine
Why does King Technology recommend bromine over chlorine?
Bromine is the leading spa sanitizer. We believe
bromine has a number of benefits over chlorine. It dissolves
slower in hot water; it’s less odorous and less corrosive over time.
Chlorine is however, compatible with our SPA FROG® minerals should you
prefer to use chlorine.
What should my bromine or chlorine level be?
You should maintain at least a 1 ppm residual
of bromine or chlorine when using FROG minerals or 2-4 ppm as a stand-alone
sanitizer.
How should I test my bromine or chlorine levels?
Most test kits found at your local dealer will test for
chlorine or bromine as well as pH and total alkalinity.
If you are experiencing water chemistry issues,
you may need to bring a water sample into your spa dealer for additional analyses.
Why does my spa have a strong chlorine smell?
Strong, smelly chlorine odor means you have chloramines,
organic by products of chlorine oxidizing sweat, urine and other contaminants.
Ridding the spa of chloramines demands shock treatment. (either chlorine
or non-chlorine)
Spa Filtration
Spa Water Balancing
Do you have recommended water balance guidelines?
What type of test kit do you recommend?
Standard test kits available from your
spa dealer will work fine. If you are experiencing water chemistry issues,
you may need to bring a water sample into your spa dealer for additional analyses.
Should my spa dealer test my water?
It’s always a good idea to have your spa dealer fully
test your water once you have completed your start-up process to
make sure everything is in line. If you experience
any difficulties with balancing or sanitizing, have your dealer test the water and
give you an analysis of what needs to be done to correct the situation.
My pH is hard to maintain. Why?
Everything that enters your spa has a pH that
can raise or lower the total pH of the spa.
The following is a list of possible culprits that
could be giving you a difficult time in maintaining pH between
the desired range of 7.2 and 7.8.
- Tap water, depending on the area of the country, can either have a low or high pH
- Overestimating the amount of pH Decreaser or pH Increaser needed is often the problem
- Using bromine or chlorine tends to lower pH over time, while

- Swimmer wastes, such as perspiration, urine, saliva and other body oils will also lower pH.
- A high alkalinity reading will raise the pH.
- Dirt, debris or leaves that blow into the pool as well as rain that is often acidic will lower pH.
What's the difference between pH and Alkalinity?
pH is the abbreviation for “potential hydrogen” and the
reading indicates the concentration of hydrogen ions in the water.

as water with more than 100 ppm of hardness ions.
Like pH and alkalinity, calcium hardness affects the tendency of pool
water to be corrosive when it is low and scale forming when it is high.
Generally, calcium hardness levels should be kept between 200 and 400 ppm.
When should I use clear water aids, such as clarifiers?
Whenever you water looks hazy or cloudy, it is full of
various particles that clarifiers bind together so they are large enough
to be removed by your
filter. Shocking the spa can also take care of this process.
Does it make a difference if my water is from a well,
city or soft water system?
Yes. Water supplies contain different levels of natural
minerals like iron, copper or magnesium. These minerals must be removed from
the water with a Metal Out or Sequestering Agent (see your dealer) to ensure
easier balancing and proper sanitation. If using our FROG® Mineral products,
make sure you remove the natural water minerals at pool opening before you use
the special FROG® minerals.
Other Spa Chemistry Issues
What causes cloudy water / haze?
- Your sanitizer level could be low.
- The pH could be high.
- Your filter might be dirty.
- You may need to increase your pump run time.
Why do I have foam?
The biggest culprit is detergent residue on swimming suits, but foaming can
also be caused by cosmetics, sun tan lotion, body oils or other
organic materials. Some tile and vinyl cleaners may
also cause foaming. High pH is another cause. Use a defoamer.
Why is my water discolored?
When the water changes color it’s usually due to
the presence of metals from fill water.
Iron with a rusty look or copper with a greenish, bluish appearance
are common. Test for calcium hardness. Consult with your spa dealer
regarding s
sequestering agents or other options to resolve the problem.
My spa has a strong chlorine odor. Why?
Strong, smelly chlorine odor means you have
chloramines, organic by products of chlorine oxidizing sweat,
urine and other contaminates. Ridding the spa of chloramines requires
a shock treatment. (either chlorine or non-chlorine)
