POOL FROG ® Welcome to easier pool care courtesy of POOL FROG®. With POOL FROG®, your pool water will look and feel better without a lot of work or a lot of chlorine. This system controls bacteria using a combination of minerals and reduced chlorine levels–up to 50%* less. There are 4 parts to the POOL FROG® System: The Above Ground POOL FROG® Cycler, the POOL FROG® Mineral Reservoir, FROG BAM® 90-day Algae Preventative and the POOL FROG® Bac Pac.
Swimming Pool Tips Start-up and Yearly Maintenance 1. Make sure the pool has adequate circulation. The 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. Check with your dealer for the proper circulation time for your pool. 3. If your fill water is high in metals, use a sequestering agent or metal out product at start-up only before using the POOL FROG® Mineral Reservoir.
Start-up and Operation 1. 2. Add a stabilizer or conditioner to the pool at the beginning of the season if the stabilizer level is below 20 ppm. This will prevent chlorine burn off. Follow manufacturer’s directions carefully. 4. Replace cap and run POOL FROG® Cycler, with POOL FROG® Mineral Reservoir inserted, for 10 minutes on Setting 5. Shock the pool with chlorine to rid the water of all contaminants before beginning with POOL FROG®. Follow manufacturer’s directions carefully. 5.
