SPECIFICATION

INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION

• [NOTE] The AUTOMATIC CHLORINE FEEDER should be permanently installed in the pool's return water line.
• Install the chlorine feeder downstream of the heater. If no heater is present, install it after the filter. This prevents potential damage to the heater or filter from concentrated chlorine.
• The AUTOMATIC CHLORINE FEEDER comes with 1-1/2 inch threads. It also includes male threads. For male and union connections, please purchase the PVC male union connector package separately. Alternatively, thread or socket adapters can be used. Ensure to use only pipe sealants specifically designed for ABS plastic connections. Avoid overtightening pipe fittings; tighten by hand plus an additional 1 to 1-1/2 turns.
• After initiating the system, inspect all connections for leaks and tighten if necessary.
• Please refer to the "OPERATION" chapter for usage directions.
• Do not install the chlorine feeder directly into copper plumbing to avoid pipe damage. For systems with brass or bronze backwash valves or other sensitive metallic components, seek advice from your dealer for specific precautions and recommendations.

FIGURE INSTALLATION & PIPING LAYOUT

The diagram illustrates the installation and piping layout. It shows a CHLORINE FEEDER connected via a CHECK VALVE to a PLUMBING LINE. The line originates FROM POOL, passes through a PUMP, then a FILTER, a HEATER, and finally the CHLORINE FEEDER before returning to the POOL.

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.

INSTALLATION

CHLORINE FEEDER CONNECTION (CONTINUED)

• 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.
