Operating Instructions

Noteworthy Information

Hot weather, high water temperature and increased use will cause the pool/spa to use more chemical.

Increase the feed rate a few days in advance when possible.

The valve settings may require changes depending on the conditions.

Before you Begin

Fill the feeder with water making sure to bleed out any entrapped air in any of the lines.

Verify the water conditioning information in your area.

Before starting the feeder, the pool should be properly conditioned and the residual should be 1.0 to 1.5 ppm. This will ensure maximum effectiveness of the feeder.

System Operation

1. Remove cap of feeder and fill with proper size tablets. (For pools: 1″ or 3″ diameter tablets. For spas: 1″ tablets.)

2. If more chemical and a faster dissolve rate is desired, install the included chemical feeder tube. The elbow of the feeder tube will fit into the outlet hole near the inside bottom of unit. If less chemical is desired, remove the chemical feeder tube.

3. Completely fill the chlorinator with water. Replace cap making sure o-ring is clean, lubricated and in place.

4. Turn on pump and timer switches for a minimum of 6 to 8 hours. The water level inside chlorinator will be 3 – 5 inches under normal running conditions.

5. Adjust the control valve (clockwise for more chemical; counter clockwise for less chemical) according to the size of the pool/spa. Use a test kit to determine the chemical residual. Check the chemical residual daily for the first five days.

 

(If the feeder does not provide enough chemical residual when using 3” tablets, switch to 1” tablets for faster erosion and increased residual.)
