SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ADVICE The use and operation of this equipment may modify the chemical composition of water in your pool. It is therefore necessary to read these instructions carefully and ensure that ALL ® ® staff is properly trained on the use of the easiflo IP feeder.
Risk Management ® ® The installation and commissioning of the hth easiflo IP feeders must be performed only by qualified technicians. The installation must comply with all current safety regulations! Before wiring the device or acting on electrical outputs, make sure that the system is unplugged! Never open the device when is powered! Maintenance and repair operations must be performed by qualified technicians!
GENERAL INFORMATION Transport and Storage ® ® To prevent any damage, it is recommended to transport and store the hth easiflo feeder in its original packaging. Ambient temperature and humidity for the storage must be within the following ranges: Temperature -10 …...
DESCRIPTION OF THE SYSTEM The hth® easiflo® IP feeder, used with calcium hypochlorite 7g briquettes, provides effective chlorination of water in pipelines or tank, through a metering pump. The equipment has been designed for ease of use and to allow easy access for routine cleaning and maintenance.
Operation Principle The water inlet to the feeder is controlled by a solenoid valve, which allows water to enter in the spray bar to wet the calcium hypochlorite briquettes. As the briquettes are sprayed, a chlorinated solution is generated, falls into the feeder tank, and is then injected into the water to be treated by a dosing pump.
Water Chemistry Total alkalinity 60 … 80 ppm CaCO (6 … 8 °f) Hardness < 250 ppm CaCO (< 20 °f) pH 7.0 … 7.6 Supply Water ® ® The hth easiflo IP feeders (models 20 / 50 / 100) need that the supply water meets the following conditions: ...
HYDRAULIC INSTALLATION Feeder Location Ensure that the feeder is installed in a suitable area of the technical room, easy to access for filling the feeder hopper and any maintenance. The electrical control panel should be installed in a well-ventilated area, far from any splashes of water or chemical products.

Connection of the Water Supply Line Three hydraulic lines are required. If the supplied tubing (10 m) is not enough for your installation, order more PE tube ½”. To prevent any malfunctions of the feeder, you need to follow the guidelines for the installation of the supply water line! All connection must be tight and secure to deal with the inlet pressure coming from the main supply line.

Connection of the Dosing Pump Carefully read the pump instruction manual before installing it! The suction hose of the dosing pump must be connected to the feeder outlet fitting, as shown in the above figure. For this purpose, use tubing of ½”. The delivery hose of the dosing pump must be connected to the injection point of the chlorinated solution into the plant.
ELECTRICAL PANEL All electrical connections are controlled by the panel described here below. You need to wire the panel to mains and perform four connections to the feeder, each one through a specific cable-gland of the electrical panel. Bottom view, cable-glands The full wiring diagram of the control panel is provided inside the control box.
Hopper Lid Safety Switch Connector HOPPER LID The safety switch on the hopper lid stops feeder operations when the lid is open and, therefore, allows safe interventions. Connect the male connector of the switch cable to the special input located on the electrical box bottom side (see drawing), by rotating it of ¼...
Level Float Sensor Cable-gland LEVEL SENSOR This connection is used to control the solution level inside the feeder base. Connect the three-wire to the X1 block, terminals 1-2-3 (see the wiring diagram inside the control box). Terminal 1: brown wire Terminal 2: blue wire Terminal 3:...
START-UP PROCEDURE Use ONLY calcium hypochlorite hth® briquettes 7 g ! Never load other chlorinating product in the feeder, because this could result in undesired reactions or even explosions. NEVER mix chemicals inside the feeder! Start-up: 1. Check that all hydraulic and electrical connections have been performed correctly. 2.
MAINTENANCE Before starting any maintenance operation, wear all required PPE to work with calcium hypochlorite solutions! Washing Operation It is recommended to activate the internal washing system once a week, to minimize the build-up of deposits and incrustations which could damage or block the dosing pump. Ensure that the rinsing tube of the feeder base is connected to a discharge point in the technical room, then proceed as follows: 1.

Cleaning Procedure with Acid Incrustation build-up and maintenance frequency depends on the quantity of product used and from the chemical composition of the supply water. It is recommended to perform this maintenance monthly. This is the easier procedure to remove incrustations and scale build-ups. ®...
