Frog Pool Tender – Maintenance
Replacing Cap O-Ring
Any system that has O-rings and also holds chlorine will need to be maintained carefully. The Chlorine Chambers can cause the O-ring to dry and crack more rapidly. Follow the instructions below to replace the cap O-ring.
Remove Old O-Ring. Place new O-ring in bottom half of groove.
Place your thumbs on each side of the cap over the O-ring in the groove.
Roll your thumbs back and forth over the O-ring while pushing upward until the O-ring falls into the top of the groove.
Lubricate O-ring every couple of months with silicone lubricant that came with your FROG Pool Tender Cycler. DO NOT USE petroleum based lubricants.
Replacing Knobs
To replace, simply unscrew old knob and replace with the new one.
Replacing the Control Dial O-Rings
The control dial of the Infuzer system sometimes becomes stiff over time indicating that the O-rings need to be replaced. Follow the instructions below to change them and restore the smooth turn of the control dial.
In the back of the Frog Pool Tender Cycler, depress center of locking pin with a finger and pull pin out of dial.
Turn control dial back and forth as you pull it out of the housing.
Replace both O-rings. Apply silicone lubricant that came with your FROG Pool Tender Cycler on O-rings.
Carefully insert control dial back into housing.
Replace locking pin by pushing it through the slots on the dial until it locks into place.
