Troubleshooting

1. Make sure your fi ltration 
system is working properly (i.e. 
clean fi 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 10.)

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.

1. Algae may be trying to form 
– shock the pool, increase 
circulation time if needed and 
clean the fi lter. 

2. Metals in the fi 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.

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 fi 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.

1. If you are unable to 
maintain 0.5 to 1.0 ppm, fi rst 
make sure there are chlorine 
tablets in the tower areas of 
the POOL FROG Bac 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 
knob each time cap is open. 

5. Contact your dealer to have 
your back pressure tested. If 
under 4 psi consider a smaller 

eyeball fi 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. Contact dealer for 
help in correcting this situation.

7. Contact King Technology’s 
Customer Service Department 
at 800-222-0169.

1. If the chlorine reading is 
over 3.0 ppm, remove the 
POOL FROG Bac Pac from the 
POOL FROG Mineral Reservoir 
and test the water daily until 
the reading is down to 1.0 
ppm.

2. Reinsert the POOL FROG 
Bac 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 
eyeball fi 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.

6. Contact King Technology’s 
Customer Service Department 
at 800-222-0169.
