INSTALLATION GUIDE AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
AUTOMATIC CHLORINE FEEDERS
8567I / 8567O / 8568I / 8568O
I) INSTALLATION
8567I / 8568I
1. Your 85671 / 85681 automatic chlorine feeder is
designed for permanent installation in the pool water
return line.
2. Always install the chlorine feeder after the heater.
If there is no heater, install after the filter. Damage to
the heater or filter may result if concentrated
chlorine is allowed to flow through them.
3 . 8567I / 8568I is furnished with 1 ½ female
threads. 8568I is also e uipped with male threads. If
male end and union connections are desired , order
91382 PVC male union connector package. Thread or
socket adapters may also be approved for used. Only
use pipe sealants formulated and approved for use
with ABS plastic connection. Do not over tighten pipe
fitting. Proper fitting makeup is hand tight plus 1 to 1
½ turns maximum.
NOTICE: After starting up system,re-check all
connections for leaks. Re-tighten as re uired.
4 .Refer to s ction II DIRECTIONS FOR USE
NOTE: Never install chlorine feeder directly into copper plumbing
as pipe damage may occur. If you have brass or bronze
backwash valves, or other sensitive metallic compone nts,
consult your dealer for precautions or recommendations for
your particular system.
8567O / 8568O
A. PLANNING INSTALLATION
1. The inlet connection should be made in the piping
after the pump and before the filter, mark location
on pipe.
2. The outlet connection should be made in the
piping after the heater. If no heater is being used,
connection should be made after the filter. Mark
location on pipe.
3 . Based on the locations from steps. No 1 and No 2,
cut tubing to re uired lengths be sure ends are cut
evenly and cleanly.
NOTE : Never install chlorine feeder directly into copper
plumbing as pipe damage may occur. If you have brass or
bro nze backwash valves, or other sensitive metallic
components, consult your dea ler for precautions or
recommendations for your particular system.
B.CONNECTION TO CHLORINATOR
1. Wrap Teflon tape on large male thread of check valve and
thread it securely into outlet port of chlorinator.
NOTICE: the check valve is marked with a “dot” it also has
a ball that clicks when you shake it.
2. Wrap teflon tape on large male thread of the inlet fitting
adapter and thread it securely into the inlet port of
chlorinator.
3. To connect inlet tubing to chlorinator, place compression
nut over inlet tubing and nut up about 2”. Insert the tubing all
the way into the inlet fitting adapter socket and, holding
tubing in place tighten nut firmly by hand. Do not over
tighten
4. Connect outlet tubing to the check valve in the same
manner as in step 3 above.
C. CONNECTION TO PLUMBING LINES
NOTICE: The saddle fittings and clamps are designed to fit
the O.D of 1 ½” or 2” pipe.
5. Drill a 3/8” hole at location identified in step 1 of planning
installation section. Clean all burrs, shavings etc. Fit saddle

fitting, with gasket, into oval shaped hole in clamp and insert
fitting, gasket and pipe and tighten securely to achieve a
good seal. Do not over tighten clamp.
6. Drill a 3/8” hole at location identified in step 2 of planning
installation section. Install saddle fitting as in step 5 above.
7. connect inlet and outlet tubing to the saddle fittings with
compression Nuts as in step 3 above. Do not over tighten.
NOTICE: After starting up system, re-check all connections for
leaks. Re- tighten as re uired.
II) DIRECTIONS FOR USE
GENERAL
Before using your chlorinator , your pool /spa water should be
properly balance and conditioned and should have a chlorine
residual of approximately 1.0 to 1.5 ppm. Follow dealer and
chemical manufacturer's directions and instruction. Check
chlorine residual daily and adjust the dial valve for more or less
chlorine. The chlorine demand for pools and spas varies based
on usage, temperature, sunlight, etc. Initially , you'll have to
experiment to determinate the proper amount of chlorine and the
correct valve setting re uired for your pool and filter time cycle.
Follow chemical manufacturer's instructions for proper chlorine
level.
