READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS! SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
WARNING! To reduce the risk of injury and product damage:
Feeders are designed to use only Chlorine (Trichloro-s-triazinetrione) or Bromine
(Bromochloro -5, 5 Dimethylhydantoin) tablets, slow dissolving type. UNDER NO
CIRCUMSTANCES MIX Trichlor OR Bromine with Calcium Hypochlorite, with other forms of
concentrated chlorine, or with other chemicals FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION MAY RESULT.
NEVER use oils or grease to lubricate 0-ring. Oil in contact with Trichlor OR Bromine may result
in FIRE. Caution should be used when removing feeder cap. Do not inhale fumes.
If shock treatments or Algaecides containing chemicals other than sanitizer tablets in feeder
must be used, then turn off feeder OR remove tablets until the shock or algae treatment is
complete and all granules have dissolved. Failure to do so may result
in granules mixing in feeder causing FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION. The shock or algae treatment
dissolved in water is safe with tablets.
ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTION for eyes, skin and clothing when working with chemicals. Do
not smoke and avoid sparks and open flames. Turn off pump and control valve before opening
chlorinator. Use of bulk chemicals may result in damage to pool.
Chemicals will dissolve very quickly and may cause bleaching to liner due to over-chlorinating,
possibly causing unsafe pool conditions.
Settings in excess of the recommended control setting levels for the chlorinator can result in
excess chlorine being discharged in your pool.This can result in bleaching or discoloration of
areas around the pool inlet or in some cases bleaching of the entire pool liner or paint (CHECK
CHEMICAL RESIDUALS REGULARLY).
MOTOR DOES NOT START: Make sure motor is plugged in.
Circuit breaker in OFF position.
Thermal Overload in tripped position.
Wiring installation incorrect.
Incorrect line voltage.
Defective wiring.
THERMAL OVERLOAD TRIPS: Low voltage.
Wiring installation incorrect.
Dual voltage pumps mis-wired.
Inadequate ventilation.
