CMP 25280-3-000 Series Installation & Operation Manual

POWERCLEAN TAB OFFLINE INSTALLATION & OPERATION
CMP# 25280-3XX-000, 25280-3XX-300
Read all information before proceeding with installation.
WARNING: This feeder is designed to use only Trichlor-s-
triazinetrione OR Bromine tablets- slow dissolving type.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MIX Trichlor or Bromine with
Calcium Hydrochlorite, with other forms of Concentrated
chlorine or with other chemicals. FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION
MAY RESULT.
WARNING: NEVER use oils or grease to lubricate o-ring.
Oil in contact with Trichlor OR Bromine may result in FIRE.
Lubricate o-ring with approved silicone o-ring lubricant only.
If you are not the original owner of this feeder, or not sure
which chemical was used, be SAFE and flush thoroughly with
fresh water. CAUTION SHOULD BE USED.
CAUTION: WHEN REMOVING CAP DO NOT INHALE FUMES.
If your pool or spa has copper plumbing do not install. This
will damage the feeder.
NOTE: If heaters are used, a Fireman's Switch or equivalent
must be installed to prevent possible damage and improper
operation of Check Valve and other equipment subject to
heat damage. DO NOT INSTALL BELOW WATER LEVEL. This
product is designed to be installed above the water line.
NOTE: Installation of the optional check valve (shown to
the right) will prevent the back-flow of corrosive liquids and
gases that can damage equipment containing metallic parts.
SAFETY CAUTION: Most pool plumbing is not airtight. The
mixture of air and chlorine is highly corrosive to metals. This
is not a concern when the circulating system is running,
however it is important to protect these items from corrosion
when the system is turned off. Even without a chemical
feeder metal corrosion or erosion can still occur. This could
be due to excessively high water velocity, water pH less than
7.2, or a total water alkalinity less than 100 PPM.
If your pool or spa has any of the following special
equipment, special procedures must be followed for safe
operation with the feeder:
• Brass or bronze gate, rotary, or backwash valves
• Plastic gate, rotary, or backwash valves with metallic
shafts
• Filters, heaters, heat exchanges or other items with
metallic parts
If your pool has a permanent built-in cleaning system,
damage could occur to that system if materials are not
compatible with low pH Tri-Chlor feeders. Check with the
cleaner manufacturer for compatibility.

INSTALLATION LOCATION
• The outlet line must always be installed after the heater,
pool cleaner, valves, etc.
• Heaters and other equipment may be damaged by
highly chlorinated water. If the pool has a heater, install
the line to the feeder between the filter and heater. If
there is no heater then install the feeder after the filter
and all other equipment
• Install the feeder in an upright position.
• Install feeder as far from metal components as possible
as fumes can cause corrosion.

PLUMBING INSTALLATION
1. Turn off the pump and timer switches.
2. Position the feeder close to the filter and cut tubing to
desired lengths being careful to cut the ends straight.
3. FLEX TUBE INSTALLATION: Attach the inlet line to the
feeder by pushing the black compression nut over
tubing and then push tubing onto the tapered end of
the inlet. Tighten the nut firmly by hand.
4. HARD PIPE INSTALLATION: Use the white nut and 1/2"
schedule 40 PVC pipe.
5. Refer to the drawing on the next page to attach the
outlet line to the feeder. DO NOT over-tighten - this
may cause damage to the threads.
6. Push the compression nut over the end of the tubing
then push tubing onto tapered end of the outlet. Tighten
the nut firmly by hand.
7. Install the inlet line in the plumbing (line going TO
feeder). Drill 3/4" hole in plumbing and remove any
burrs. Install the clamp assembly (refer to drawing on
next page).
8. Attach the inlet line to the clamp assembly by pushing
the compression nut over tube end then push tube onto
the tapered end of the tube fitting. Tighten nut by hand.
9. Install the outlet line in the plumbing (line FROM feeder)
following steps 7-8. Note: Be sure this hole is after the
heater, filter, valves, etc.
