2.2 Adjusting Chlorine Release
The dispenser features an adjustable ring at the bottom to control the rate at which chlorine or bromine is released into the water. Rotate the ring to open or close the vents, allowing you to customize the flow based on your pool's size and chemical needs.
2.3 Initial Shape Remedy (If Applicable)
If the cowboy hat portion appears slightly uneven upon arrival, this is normal due to packaging. To restore its proper shape, place the unit in direct sunlight or warm conditions (above 80°F) for 15-30 minutes. The heat will naturally allow the material to become flexible and return to its original cowboy hat shape.
