Specification

Installation

Set-up for Installation

• Mark the pipe for the inlet connection downstream from the PUMP and upstream from the FILTER.
• Mark the pipe for the outlet connection downstream from the HEATER, or if there is no HEATER, downstream from the FILTER.
• Cut the tubing to the appropriate lengths based on the marked locations, ensuring ends are clean and even.

Installation Diagram Description: The installation diagram illustrates a typical pool plumbing configuration. Water flows from the pool, through the pump, then the filter, optionally through a heater, into the inlet of the chlorine feeder, and finally exits the outlet of the chlorine feeder to return to the pool. Connections are labeled 'FROM POOL', 'PUMP', 'FILTER', 'HEATER', 'CHLORINE FEEDER', 'OUTLET', 'INLET', and 'UNRESTRICTED RETURN TO POOL'.

[DANGER] Installation directly into copper plumbing is prohibited to prevent pipe damage. Systems with brass, bronze, or other metal components require a consultation with a professional for specific installation advice.

Chlorine Feeder Connection

• Apply Teflon tape to the Check Valve's larger male thread and fasten securely to the Chlorine Feeder's outlet.
• [NOTE] Identify the Check Valve by the 'dot' marking and the clicking sound of the internal ball when shaken.
• Apply Teflon tape to the Check Valve's larger male thread and fasten securely to the Chlorine Feeder's outlet.
• Attach the inlet Fitting Adapter to the Chlorine Feeder's inlet with Teflon tape on its thread.
• For the inlet tubing, slide on a compression nut, insert tubing into the adapter fully, and tighten by hand to a secure fit without over-tightening.
• Attach the outlet tubing to the Check Valve as done with the inlet tubing.

Plumbing Line Connection

[NOTE] Saddle Fittings and clamps are intended for 1 1/2" or 2” outer diameter pipes.

• At the marked inlet point, drill a 3/8" hole and remove any burrs or shavings.
• Place the Saddle Fitting with its gasket into the hole and fasten with the clamp, ensuring a tight seal without over-tightening.
• Repeat the fitting installation for the outlet using the same steps as the inlet.
• Connect the inlet and outlet tubing to the Saddle Fittings using Compression Nuts and secure without excessive force.

[WARNING] After system activation, examine all connections for leaks and adjust if necessary to maintain a leak-free system.

Operation

General Usage

• Balance and condition pool/spa water before Chlorine Feeder use.
• Maintain chlorine residual between 1.0 to 1.5 ppm.
• Monitor and adjust chlorine daily via the dial valve.
• Account for varying chlorine demand due to usage, temperature, and sunlight.
• Initially, determine proper chlorine amount and valve settings through trial.
• Follow chemical manufacturer's instructions for chlorine levels.

[DANGER] Only utilize 3-inch diameter slow-dissolving Trichloro-S-Triazinetrione Chlorine tablets. Fast-dissolving tablets of the same compound must not be used. Mixing chemicals can lead to fire or explosion. Avoid combining Trichloro-S-Triazinetrione Chlorine Tablets with Calcium Hypochlorite or any concentrated chlorine forms or chemicals. Do not introduce other chlorine types, pH adjusters, shock treatments, or algaecides into the skimmer. If necessary, apply these products directly to the pool water. Do not block the chlorine feeder with valves or other devices.

[WARNING] Follow all provided Safety Instructions when operating or servicing the Chlorine Feeder. To prevent injury, children should not use this product. Always wear protective eyewear and skin cover when performing maintenance or servicing. Do not breathe in vapors from the Chlorine Feeder or chemical containers. The Chlorine Feeder may be pressurized; exercise caution when removing the cover.

Refill Instructions

• Turn off all pumps and timers.
• Set the Chlorine Feeder's flow control valve to the "OFF" position.
• Ensure the return line to the pool from the Chlorine Feeder is free of obstructions.
• Wait one minute after turning off the system to allow for pressure release.
• Carefully remove the Chlorine Feeder cover.
• Restock the Chlorine Feeder exclusively with 3-inch slow-dissolving Trichloro-S-Triazinetrione Chlorine Tablets.
• Reattach and secure the Chlorine Feeder cover.
• Adjust the flow control valve to the required setting and reactivate the pump.

Maintenance

O-Ring Replacement

• Follow initial 5 steps from the Refilling Instructions.
• Use replacement O-Ring (Part# 65431036080), ensuring Slip Washers are properly placed on the Cover stem.
• If a refill is necessary, proceed with the final 3 steps of the Refilling Instructions.

Flow Control Valve Handle Removal

• Position the pointer to FULL.
• Insert a screwdriver in the slot opposite the pointer, lift, and rotate the handle counterclockwise to disengage the handle index lock tab from the body ridge.

Winterizing

• In areas with potential freezing temperatures, empty the Chlorine Feeder of water.
• For fixed in-line units, remove the drain plug.
• Take out any remaining tablets, rinse the Chlorine Feeder with water, and reattach the cover and drain plug.

Vacuuming

• Shut the flow control valve during vacuuming to avoid sediment bypass and potential valve clogs.

Lubrication

• Do not use petroleum-based lubricants on the Cover O-Ring.
• For lubrication, apply Jack's No. 327 lube exclusively.
