Installation

The Powerclean Tab Off-Line Chlorinator is designed for use on existing pools or spas OR new pools and spas that are impractical for permanent installation into the return line.

Before you Begin

Do NOT install feeder into copper plumbing; pipe damage may occur.

Never install feeder before the heater; heater damage may occur.

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

Installation Location

The outlet line must always be installed after the heater, pool cleaner, valves, etc.

Feeder should be installed above water level and in an upright position.

Always install feeder as far from and metal components as possible as fumes can cause corrosion.

 

Is a Heater Installed?

Heater
No Heater

Yes, a Heater is Installed

Install the line to the feeder between the filter and heater.

For using hard PVC pipe (not included), use the white nut and 1/2” schedule 40 PVC pipe.

Position the feeder close to the filter and cut tubing to desired lengths, being careful to cut the ends straight.

Attach the inlet line to the feeder by pushing the black compression nut over tubing and then push tubing onto the tapered end of the feeder.

Tighten the nut firmly by hand. Be sure not to over tighten- this may cause damage to the threads.

No, a Heater is NOT Installed

Install the feeder after the filter and all other equipment.

For using hard PVC pipe (not included), use the white nut and 1/2” schedule 40 PVC pipe.

Attach the outlet line to the feeder.

Be sure not to over tighten – this may cause damage to the threads.

Push the compression nut over the end of the tubing, then push tubing onto tapered end of the elbow.

Tighten the nut firmly by hand. Install the inlet line in the plumbing (line going to feeder).

Optional Check Valve

Installation of the check valve will prevent the backflow of corrosive liquids and gases that can damage equipment containing metallic parts.

How to Install

Turn off the pump and timer switches.

Drill 3/4” hole in plumbing, remove burrs and install the clamp assembly.

Attach the inlet line by pushing the compression nut over tube end then push tube onto the tapered end of the tube fitting.

Tighten nut firmly by hand.

Install the outlet line in the plumbing (line from feeder).
