Before you Begin

Important Warnings

IF POOL OR SPA HAS COPPER PLUMBING DO NOT INSTALL. This will damage the feeder.

To prevent over chlorination during use, completely close the control valve and the built in check valve will prevent chemical from being fed into the pool or spa.

CAUTION SHOULD BE USED WHEN REMOVING CAP. DO NOT INHALE FUMES

Heaters and other equipment may be damaged by highly chlorinated water.

If heaters are used, a Fireman’s Switch or equivalent must be installed to prevent possible damage and improper operation of check valve and other equipment subject to heat damage.

Chemical Warnings

This feeder is designed to use only Trichlor-s-triazinetrione OR Bromine tablets- slow dissolving type.

BROMINE MAY BE SUBSTITUTED FOR TRICHLOR IN THIS FEEDER. DO NOT MIX BROMINE AND TRICHLOR.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MIX Trichlor or Bromine with Calcium Hydrochlorite, with other forms of concentrated chlorine or with other chemicals. FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION MAY RESULT.

If you are not sure which chemical was used previously, flush thoroughly with fresh water.

NEVER use oils or grease to lubricate o-ring. Oil in contact with Trichlor OR Bromine may result in FIRE. Lubricate o-ring with approved silicone o-ring lubricant only.

If your pool has a permanent built-in cleaning system, damage could occur to that system if materials are not compatible with low pH Tri-Chlor feeders. Verify compatibility before proceeding.

Information

Most pool plumbing is not airtight.

The mixture of air and chlorine is highly corrosive to metals.

This is not a concern when the circulating system is running, but it is important to protect these items from corrosion when the system is turned off.

Even without a chemical feeder, metal corrosion or erosion can still occur.

This could be due to excessively high water velocity, water pH less than 7.2, or a total water alkalinity less than 100 PPM.
