Pool Start Up
Balance your water according
to the water balance guidelines
1. Shock pool to remove
contaminants (follow
manufacturer’s directions).
2. Remove outer packag-
ing from both the mineral
and chlorine cartridges of
the Flippin' FROG. Bring
the two cartridges together
and line up the arrows.
Push together and twist
to lock.
4. Tether it to the pool side or ladder with the cord
provided, away from the skimmer or a return jet.
5. Test the water periodically and adjust the setting
until the chlorine level is maintained at 0.5 ppm to
1.0 ppm. Use the precise FROG
®
Brand Test Strips to help measure the
ideal chlorine range when used with FROG
®
minerals. Based on
average pool usage, chlorine will last about 3-4 weeks for pools
up to 5,000 gallons, except during times of hot water temperatures
and heavy pool use.
NOTE: This product may be removed from the pool when in use. Lift out of
the water and let drain into the pool. Then hang over the outside of the pool
or place on the ground or surface that is not susceptible to bleaching from
the chlorine. Remember to replace the product once exiting the pool.
Replacing the Flippin' FROG Replacement Chlorine Cartridge
When the product is almost empty, it will slowly flip over giving you notice
that it’s about time to replace. When it completely flips over
replace by rotating the two cartridges until the arrows align
along the edge of both cartridges and pull apart. Follow the
start-up procedures.
Do not remove the chlorine cartridge until the system has
completely flipped. If the chlorine cartridge contains a small
amount of chlorine after the system has flipped over, place
in pool by itself. Do not allow chlorine cartridge to sink to the
bottom or pool bleaching may occur. When completely empty discard in trash.

Regular Pool Care
1. Run pump and filter at least 8 hours per day. Lack
of circulation may cause bleaching of pool surface.
2. Regularly test water for pH, total alkalinity and
chlorine levels. Maintain at least 0.5 ppm chlorine
level at all times.
3. Replace the chlorine cartridge when the Flippin'
FROG completely flips over.
4. Shock the pool as needed to maintain water
clarity. Follow label directions on the shock treatment
used.
5. Check filter regularly and clean or replace the
cartridges when dirty.
6. Replace the complete Flippin' FROG every six
months or after one pool season whichever is
shorter. If the pool is drained and refilled prior to six
months, the Flippin' FROG must be replaced at that
time.
