    What to do if my King Technology Swimming Pool Filter is under chlorinating with the Prevail Pool Pack?
    • A
      Ashlee NicholsAug 4, 2025
      If your King Technology Swimming Pool Filter isn't providing enough chlorination with the Prevail Pool Pack, ensure chlorine tablets are present and the system is correctly installed. If the chlorine reading has been below 1.0 ppm for over a day, shock the pool. Also, ensure the pump runs for at least 6 hours on high speed (40 gpm or higher); otherwise, bleed air from the back knob each time the cap is opened. If the reading is still low after these steps, increase the dial setting by one increment daily until the correct reading is achieved.

    How to fix cloudy water with King Technology Swimming Pool Filter?
    • B
      Bruce BrownAug 11, 2025
      If your King Technology Swimming Pool Filter is causing cloudy water, ensure adequate filtration time and a free chlorine level between 1.0 and 3.0 ppm. Clean the filter, skimmer, and pump, ensuring they are properly balanced. Shock the water to eliminate any organic matter buildup. Also, make sure the circulation time is adequate by increasing pump run time and ensure the pool has a clean filter.

    Why does my King Technology Swimming Pool Filter make the water turn color?
    • P
      Patrick SmithAug 19, 2025
      If your King Technology Swimming Pool Filter is leading to colored water, it might be due to algae formation or oxidized metals. Shock the pool, increase circulation time if needed, and clean the filter if algae may be trying to form. If metals in the water may have been oxidized, have the pool water tested and consult your pool dealer about metal control products.

      If algae forms in your pool when using a King Technology Swimming Pool Filter, use an algaecide according to the bottle's directions and frequently brush the pool sides. Clean the filter and shock the pool daily with chlorine until the water becomes clear.
