Section 5. Operation
NOTE: The consumption of chlorine in swimming pools varies according to use,
temperature, exposure to sunlight, and other factors. Initially you will need to
experiment with the control valve to ensure that the unit doses enough chemical
to maintain an adequate residual. Start with the valve in the 50% position. Test
the residual regularly using instructions below.
Elevated Chemical Concentrations and Hazardous Gas - The introduction
of potentially hazardous gas or elevated chemical concentrations into the
pool or spa during backwash and periods of no flow in the circulation system
may cause serious personal injury, or death. To avoid, use the following
guidelines:
• Set dosage indicator to zero before stopping water flow through the
chlorinator.
• Minimize backwash time.
• Do not shut off pump for extended periods.
• Do not allow bathers into the pool or spa area until full flow through
the circulation system has been established.
1. This tablet feeder is designed to help you maintain a chlorine residual. Always start
a new feeder installation by ensuring that the chlorine is already at a proper residual
level. Consult your local dealer for water conditioning information in your area. The
residuals should be 1-3 ppm of free chlorine.
2. Remove cap of feeder and fill with proper size tablets. For pools use 1" or 3" diameter
tablets. For spas use 1" tablets.
3. Completely fill body with water, and bleed out entrapped air in all system lines.
Replace cap making sure o-ring is clean, lubricated with silicone lubricant 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 counter-clockwise for more flow through the erosion feeder
and more chlorine. Or adjust clockwise for less chlorine 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.
