CCH Slow Dissolve Cal Hypo Feeder Instruction Manual

CCH Slow Dissolve Cal Hypo Feeder

INSTALLATION

This slow-dissolve cal-hypo feeder is designed to be hard plumbed with 1· PVC pipe with standard threaded inlet and outlet fittings. It operates via pressure differential to circulate water 1n the feeder. The inlet side connects to the plumbing near the pump outlet The outlet line connects near the filter inlet. A diverter valve (not included} must be installed between these two lines (see diagram). SFightly closing this valve will allow for higher flow into the feeder. The feeder should be· installed bolted down.

OPERATION

Always use extreme caution when operating or servicing the feeder. NEVER OPEN WHEN THE PUMP IS RUNNING, NEVER INHALE CHEMICAL FUMES. Use caution in hotter weather, as this can create a higher level of gasses. Wear protective glasses and gloves when operating the feeder. Always follow product label directions for handling chemicals. Before starting the feeder adjust chlorine level to 1-4 ppm. Check with your chemical dealer for more information on proper water care. Sanitizer demand can depend on many environmental factors. Valve settings may need adjustment at times to accommodate changing conditions. Attempt to increase the feeder rate a day or two in advance of anticipated increases in demand. Test water to determine proper Chlorine residual levels; it is recommended that the. levels are checked daily for the first week after start-up to adjust to the ideal rate. Higher numbers dispense more sanitizer. Small, incremental changes are recommended to best control sanitizer levels.
WARNING
Th.is feeder is designed to use only slow-dissolve cal-hypo tablets. NEVER MIX slow-dissolve cal-hypo tablets ‘!”!!h other forms of chlorine or with other chemicals. FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION MAY RESULT. Lubricate o-ring wi.th silicone o-ring lubricant. 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 CAUTlON SHOULD BE USED WHEN REMOVING CAP.
DO, NOT INHALE FUMES.

CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS
