Test the water
Weekly through the season Test the water with test strips once a week while the pool is in use. The FROG system only holds the water where you set it if you actually read where it is. ## After a dial change, test daily The first week after you move the FROG chlorine dial, test daily — you are dialing in the setting that holds 0.5-1.0 ppm free chlorine for your pool, and it takes a few days of feedback to land it. Check free chlorine and pH at minimum. Adjust the FROG dial for chlorine; balance pH separately.
