Section 3. Operation

NOTE:
• The consumption of chlorine in swimming pools varies according to use,
temperature, exposure to sunlight, and other factors. Initially, you will
need to experiment with the control valve to ensure that the unit doses
enough chemical to maintain the recommended residual. Start with the
valve in the 50% position. Test the residual regularly using instructions
below.
• This tablet feeder is designed to help you maintain a chlorine residual.
Always start a new feeder installation by ensuring that the chlorine is
already at a proper residual level. Consult your local dealer for water
conditioning and residual requirements for each pool.

Elevated chemical concentrations and Hazardous Gas - The introduction of
potentially hazardous gas or elevated chemical concentrations into the pool
during backwash and periods of no flow in the circulation system can cause
serious personal injury, or death. To avoid, use the following guidelines:
• Set dosage indicator to zero before stopping water flow through the
chlorinator.
• Minimize backwash time.
• Do not shut off pump for extended periods.
• Do not allow bathers into the pool area until full flow through the
circulation system has been established.
