1 Introduction

2 Overview

1.1 Pulsar® Infinity Tablets

The patent-pending, slow dissolving Pulsar® Infinity Tablets are a 3-in-1 product that chlorinates consistently, increases calcium to protect plaster,

and increases alkalinity to stabilize pH. The benefits of the Pulsar® Infinity Tablets include but is not limited to:

• DOES NOT add cyanuric acid to your pool reducing wasteful drainage

• DOES NOT reduce ORP effectiveness

• Dissolves slowly to give long lasting chlorination

• DOES NOT form nitrogen trichloride (strong chlorine odor) associated with trichlor use

• Highly concentrated to reduce shipping and handling costs

• More concentrated than liquid bleach

• Longer shelf life when compared to liquid bleach

• Adds less total dissolved solids (TDS) than liquid bleach

• Class 2 Oxidizer (less restrictive storage requirements compared to Class 3 Oxidizers)

1.2 Pulsar® Infinity Feeder

The Pulsar® Infinity Feeder is an easy to use, automatic solution that is exclusively designed to feed Pulsar® Infinity Tablets. Other calcium hypo-

chlorite or trichlor tablets will not fit into the feeder nor will they dissolve properly and provide the appropriate feed rate. With the simplicity of an

erosion feeder, the Pulsar® Infinity Feeder’s streamlined design is easy to install, service and requires minimal operator maintenance.

2.1 Theory of Operation

The patent-pending Pulsar® Infinity System is a pressurized feeder system designed for pools and spas ranging from 500 to 60,000 gallons

[

1,892.7

to 227,124.7 liters]

. A pre-filter to post-filter loop will be added to the main pool recirculation system as part of the Pulsar® Infinity Sys-

tem. This recirculation loop will create the pressure differential to provide the proper flow of water through the feeder.

The Pulsar® Infinity System incorporates the principles of High Capacity Erosion (HCE) technology. Water rises in a “column” from a submerged

nozzle below the tablet grid making contact with the Pulsar® Infinity Tablets. The tablets are then submerged in a column of water with the water

flow from the nozzle creating a chlorinated solution that is discharged to the pool return line. The feeder operates in a pressurized condition with a

pressure range between 5 to 20 psig

[0.35 to 1.38 bar]

The chlorine output is controlled by the cartridge height setting (distance of the tablet from the nozzle) and the inlet flow rate which has an operat-

ing range of 0.5 to 4.5 gpm [1.9 to 17.03 lpm]. In addition, an ORP controller may be used for more precise control. The inlet flow rate will allow a

minimum available chlorine (AvCl) output of 0.5 lb/day [0.2 kg/day] and will allow a maximum AvCl output of 9 lbs/day [4.1 kg/day] for both pools

and spas.
