AquaGenie
AquaGenie
removes floating debris from
surface water much faster than ordinary skim-
mers. In addition, it provides a constant con-
trolled supply of chlorine to pool water
automatically.
AquaGenie
catches ne dirt, leaves,
pollen,floating germ-laden scum before it becomes
suspended in the pool water or settles to the bot-
tom. Ten times as much water must be run
through filter to remove suspended dirt as to
remove dirt caught while still on the surface.
The
AquaGenie
feeder is operated by water
being returned by the filter to the pool. This clean
water is directed down and out through a nozzle
slot in the orifice plate. The sheet-like jet of water
created by this action causes counter currents
which increase the effectiveness of the
skimming action. Pressure built up
in the pressure chamber (behind the orifice plate)
diverts some of this water through the tubing into
the feeder tray. In the feeder tray a supply of
chlorine is being constantly dissolved. Chlorine-
laden water now pours over the tray’s V-notch
into the main sump of the
AquaGenie
, where it
disinfects the water being drawn into the skim-
mer. Chemically treated water is then sent to the
filter for removal of solids and is returned to the
pool. If you desire to return the filtered water to
the pool through an auxiliary return fitting, or
through a jet nozzle installed on optional stairs,
it’s important to maintain water flow to the
AquaGenie
. If the pool is equipped with such an
auxiliary return, there should be a valve on the
return line to the
AquaGenie
, and another valve
on the line to the auxiliary return fitting. When
using the auxiliary return line, don’t close the
valve on the
AquaGenie
return line. Keep it
“cracked open” enough to continue a flow of
water to the
AquaGenie
. Enough back pressure
will develop to keep the feeder operating. As long
as water is leaving the feeder tray over the V-
notch, it is being chlorinated and returned to the
circulatory system. For full benefit of Aqua-
Genie’s automatic skimming and chlorinating, do
not use auxiliary returns unnecessarily. Keep
AquaGenie
operating normally, with full flow as
continuously as possible.
AquaGenie Canister
Carefully read directions and cautions on
AquaGenie
canister. Insert canister in feeder tray
with canister cap being near the outside wall of the
feeder tray. To prevent the possibility of a highly
concentrated chlorine solution remaining in the
feeder or entering the pool, the feeder tray will
receive no water from pressure chamber and will
automatically drain if the filter pump is shut
down or if there is a power failure.
Never put any material in the feeder tray
other than AquaGenie canisters and Trichloro
tablets. Contact with other brands of chlorine
tablets may cause a violent reaction or explosion
Start with an initial setting of 5 (five) on the chlorinator
adjustment valve. Check your chlorine level and
adjust to the desired level. 1 is the lowest setting
with 10 being the highest. (see Sketch #1).When
replacing cartridge turn to lowest setting before
removing.
Always maintain water level of pool up to
the water level marks on the
AquaGenie
face
plate (see Sketch #2). Flow should be over the
weir. Always bring water level up to marks as
soon as possible.
