YOUR LIFEGARD® FEEDER IS THE MOST EFFICIENT AND TROUBLE-FREE AUTOMATIC FEEDER YOU CAN BUY, BUT IT CAN ALSO BE DANGEROUS TO YOU AND YOUR EQUIPMENT. PLEASE FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY AND HEED ALL CAUTION. YOUR SAFETY AND THE PROTECTION OF YOUR EQUIPMENT IS OUR FIRST CONCERN

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Before start up of feeder, your pool should be properly conditioned and the residual should be 1.0 to 1.5 ppm.The water in a newly-filled pool should be properly conditioned to insure maximum effectiveness of the feeder. Consult your local dealer for water conditioning information for your area.

1. Remove cap of feeder and fill with proper size tablets.
2. For Pools : 1″ or 3″ dia. tablets
3. For Spas: 1″ dia. tablets in optional Spa Chamber.
4. Making sure O-ring is clean, lubricated with Lifegard Silicone and is an in place, replace cap. Hand tighten only.
5. Turn on pump and timer switches for a minimum of 6 to 8 hours.
6. Adjust control valve according to your pool/spa size. Use a test kit to determine the chemical residual. It is recommended that the chemical residual be checked daily for the first 5 days.
7. Remember hot days, higher water temperature or increased pool/spa activity will cause your pool/spa to use more sanitizer.
8. When possible, increase the feed rate a day or two in advance.
9. Because the chlorine demand in your pool/spa varies and is dependent on many factors (sunlight, bather load, water temperature, etc) your valve setting may have to be changed from time to time to adjust to these conditions.
10. For example , the winter setting may be #2 while the summer setting is #3. Check the chlorine residual daily to find the ideal setting.
    Note: Higher numbers dispense more chemical. Small gradual changes are imperative for control.

HOW TO RECHARGE FEEDER

1. Turn control valve to the closed position. SHUT OFF PUMP.
2. Wait one minute. This will allow water and fumes to drain from feeder.
3. Leave control valve closed and turn on pump. The check valve will prevent water from entering the feeder.
4. Remove cap and fill with proper size tablets or sticks. (See Operating Instructions #1)
5. Making sure O-ring is clean, lubricated with Lifegard silicone and is in place, replace cap. Hand tighten only.
6. Open control valve to original setting. Inspect inlet line below control valve each time feeder is recharged. Replace lines yearly if necessary.

SPECIAL FEATURES AND INSTRUCTIONS

If while using 3″ diameter tablets the #320 feeder does not provide enough chlorine residual, switch to 1″ tablets. The smaller tablet will erode faster producing more chlorine residual. If this does not correct the situation, the

320 has been fitted with an optional opening at the top of the feeder (which

is plugged). To accommodate attachment of the valve and tubing assembly for top entry of water into the feeder, an additional length of tubing has been included.The following procedure should only be used if the suggested change has not solved the situation. Top entry in normal situations can cause over- chlorination.

1. Turn off the pump and timer switches.
2. Remove the tubing by unscrewing the compression nut at each end of the tubing.
3. Remove the plug at top of the feeder directly above the control valve.
4. Remove the control valve. If the nipple stays in the valve, carefully remove by using pliers at the center of the nipple. There is no need to remove the 90° tube fittings.
5. Wrapping with 2 or 3 wraps of threaded tape in the opposite direction of tightening. Screw into the opening where control valve was attached. Hand tightens plus 2 or 3 turns. Do not over-tighten.
6. Wrap threads of the nipple with threaded tape.Thread nipple into top opening.Finger tighten only. Thread valve onto nipple. After nipple starts to turn from tightening valve, 2 to 3 more turns is enough. The nipple or valve can be broken by overtightening.
7. Slide compression nut over long section of tube. Slide tube over tapered part of 90°tube fitting and tighten. Hand tightens only. Repeat for another end of tubing.
8. Set control valve to #1. Turn on the pump and timers. Check residual daily to determine proper setting. Small gradual changes are imperative for control.

BELOW WATER LEVEL INSTALLATION

The feeder should be installed above water level whenever practical. If installed below water level, a drain valve must be installed to prevent spillage and dangerous splashback of high chlorinated water during recharging. Drill and tap a ¼” MPT hole at the same level the control valve is located. Make sure there is no water or tablets inside the feeder before drilling. Install an optional drain valve, Part R172060, or a suitable chemical- resistant drain valve. BELOW WATER LEVEL

RECHARGING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Shut off pump and timer switches.
2. Shut off control valve.
3. Place a clean container under drain and open drain valve.
4. Exercise extreme caution when opening or servicing feeder. Do not inhale fumes. Wear protective gear. Remove cap.Water will now drain from feeder. Empty container back into pool or spa.
5. Close drain valve. fill with proper size tablets or sticks.
6. Making sure the O-ring is clean, lubricated with Lifeguard Silicone and in place, replace cap.
7. Turn on the pump and timer switches.
8. Reset control valve to the original setting. Inspect the inlet and outlet line each time feeder is recharged. Replace lines yearly if necessary.

EXTENSIONS

• Going on vacation?
• Need more chlorine?
• Filling Chlorinator/Brominator too frequently?

LIFEGUARD CHLORINATOR EXTENSIONS SOLVE THE ABOVE PROBLEMS BY:

1. Increasing tablet capacity.
2. A larger chamber size allows for more erosion of tablets. (See special instructions below)

The 10″ extension doubles and the 20″ extension triples (approximately) the capacity and time between refills. *AVAILABLE THROUGH LIFEGUARD DEALERS ONLY.

NOTE : On free-standing #300 series chlorinators, the base of the chlorinator should be secured to prevent the possibility of the chlorinator tipping over due to increased height.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Follow recharging instructions to the point of filling with tablets
2. Making sure the O-Ring is clean, lubricated with Lifeguard Silicone, and in place, screw on the extension tightly and secure with a lock screw. (You may wish to wait until back in operation before tightening the screw to insure against leaks).
3. Fill with tablets and continue with the normal recharging procedure.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

The large chamber size will result in more chlorine being dispensed at the same valve setting, therefore, once installed, several days of monitoring will be necessary to readjust chlorinator output.
Does not apply to large capacity #300-19 or #300-29.

Typical check valve installation

NOTE : If heaters are used, a Fireman’s Switch or another safety device must be installed to prevent possible damage and improper operation of Check Valve and other equipment subject to heat damage.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

Since most pool™ plumbing is not airtight, and a mixture of air and chlorine is highly corrosive to metals, it is important to protect these items from corrosion in the OFF period when no circulation is taking place. (There is no chance of chlorine corrosion when the circulating system is in operation.)

Of course, corrosion or erosion of metal components can still occur independently of any chlorinator installation for the following reasons:

1. The water velocity is too high.
2. Water pH is less than 7.2.
3. Total alkalinity less than 100 PPM.

If your pool or spa has any of the following equipment, special plumbing procedures must be followed for safe operation:

1. Brass or bronze gate, rotary or backwash valves.
2. The preceding valves constructed of PVC or other plastic material with metallic shafts.
3. Filters, heaters, heat exchanges or other items with metallic tanks, shafts, coils or tubes.
4. NOT FOR USE IN COPPER PLUMBING.

Installation of the OPTIONAL Rainbow #R172288 positive seal, corrosion resistant check valve SHOWN ON REVERSE SIDE will prevent the backflow of corrosive liquids and gases that can damage equipment containing metallic components. Examples are listed above.

WARNING: If your pool is equipped with a permanent built-in pool-cleaning system, damage could occur to that system if materials are not compatible with low pH Tri-Chloro feeders. Check with the manufacturer for compatibility.
