Start-up and Operation:

1. Add a stabilizer or conditioner to the pool at the beginning of the pool season if the stabilizer level is below 20 ppm. This will prevent chlorine burn off. Follow manufacturers directions carefully.
2. Shock the pool with chlorine to rid the water of contaminants before beginning. Follow manufacturers directions carefully. Do not add shock in or near the skimmer or into the cycler as it could damage equipment, risk potential explosion or discolor your pool surface. This step is very important to start-up. Use chlorine shock only.
3. Install Pool Frog Mineral Reservoir into the cycler.
4. Replace cap and run cycler, with Pool Frog Mineral Reservoir inserted, for 10 minutes on setting maximum or setting 10 depending on the model.
5. Insert Frog Bam into Pool Frog Mineral Reservoir in cycler.
6. When chlorine reading is down to 1 ppm, which may take a few days, insert chlorine Bac Pac.
7. Set control dial by matching the parameters of your pool shown on directions supplied with Mineral Reservoir.
8. For the first week test the pool water daily for free chlorine to ensure correct dial setting. Continue to test weekly throughout the season.
9. Shock pool every two weeks or as needed to maintain water quality.
