Setting Control Dial
This system is designed to work effectively with a variety of pool equipment as long as the following basic procedures are
followed.
Set control dial on New Water® Cycler by matching up the parameters of your pool on the chart below. THIS IS A STARTING
POINT ONLY and may need to be adjusted to fit your individual pool needs. See #2 below for adjusting directions.
IMPORTANT:
For in ground pools, pump run times of at least 6 hours per day at high speed are recommended for proper
performance. If running the pump at low speed only or on high speed less than 6 hours, please follow the 24 hour low speed
directions below.
24 HOUR, LOW-SPEED PUMP RUN TIME
In order to ensure proper performance when running the pump on low speed for 24 hours per day or high speed less than 6
hours per day, bleed the air while the pump is on by unscrewing the cap knob until water appears. Then screw the knob back on.
Repeat this process each time the cap is removed for any reason. Set the control dial at 6 and follow the adjustment directions
in Step 2 to determine the correct setting for your pool.
For the first week or so, test the
water daily for free chlorine.
Use the handle end of cap tool if
the dial is hard to turn.
After day one, adjust the dial up by 1/2
increment if the free chlorine reading has
dropped or down by 1/2 increment if the
reading has risen. Continue this process
each day until the reading stabilizes
at your desired level between 1.0- 3.0
ppm. Remember to adjust dial by 1/2
increments only. Higher than suggested
settings could result in over chlorination
and/or bleached pool surfaces.
