#300 & #302 CHLORINEIBROMINE FEEDERS

Transcription

1 #300 & #302 CHLORINEIBROMINE FEEDERS R~M%' Features: No special venting required. Completely enclosed-no escaping gases. Positive external no-clog control valve. Feeder is designed to automatically lower the water level so tablets are not soaking during off period of pump. This allows more efficient use of tablets. No equipment damage. Feeds sanitizer directly to pool or spa. All parts replaceable. To prevent over feeding during use, completely close the control valve and the built in check valve will prevent chemical from being fed into pool or spa. It is important to read all information BEFORE proceeding with the installation. The information will guide you in installing your feeder properly and to avoid problems due to improper installation. IFYOUR POOL OR SPA HAS COPPER PLUMBING... STOP!! Never install the feeder into copper plumbing as pipe damage will occur. (See Equipment Safety CAUTION sheet enclosed). 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. WHERE TO INSTALLYOUR FEEDER Series #300 and #302 are designed for EXISTING pools or spas or new pools or spas where conditions are such to make permanent installation into the return line impractical.the outlet line must be installed after the heater. If your pool does not have a heater, then it must be installed after the filter. (see Fig. A & B) DAMAGE TO YOUR HEATER COULD RESULT IF HIGHLY CHLORINATED WATER FLOWS THROUGH IT. If your pool has a heater, install the line to the feeder between the filter and heater. If your pool does not have a heater, install the inlet line between the pump and the filter. Refer to installation drawings A & B for your particular condition. Choose a site where feeder can be installed in a vertical position. Always install as far from any metal equipment as practical since fumes, etc. can corrode them. If optional corrosion resistant check valve is required, refer to installation instructions before next step. Position feeder close to filter and cut tubing to desired lengths. Be careful to cut ends straight. AlTACH INLET LINETO FEEDER Screw control valve into side of feeder. Use teflon tape to seal threads. Push compression nut over tubing and then push tubing onto tapered end of control valve. Tighten nut.firmly by hand. AlTACH OUTLET LINETO FEEDER Screw Combination check valve elbow into bottom of feeder. Refer to drawing on other side. Use teflon tape to seal threads. CAUTION, do not overtighten. Damage to threads or check valve could occur. Push compression nut over tubing end. Then push tubing onto tapered end of elbow.tighten nut firmly by hand. INSTALL INLET LlNE IN PLUMBING (Line to side of feeder). Turn off pump and timer switches. Drill 3/8" hole in plumbing, remove burrs and install saddle clamp assembly. See drawing on other side. Attach inlet line by first pushing compression nut over tub end. Then push tube onto tapered end of tube fitting. Tighten nut firmly by hand. INSTALL OUTLET LlNE IN PLUMBING (Line from feeder.) Drill 3/8" hole in plumbing (AFTER the heater. If no heater, drill after filter.) and remove burrs. See drawing on other side. Install saddle clamp assembly. Attach outlet line by first pushing compression nut over tube end. Then push onto tapered end of tube fitting. tighten nut firmly by hand. Installation is now complete. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Before start up of feeder, your pool should be properly conditioned and the residual should be 1.0 to 1.5 ppm, (Bromine ppm).the water in a newlyfilled 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. Series 300 uses 1" or 3" dia. tablets Series 302 uses 1 " dia. tablets in Spa Chamber. 2. Making sure 0-Ring is clean, lubricated with Lifegard Silicone and is in place, replace cap. Hand tighten only. 3. Turn on pump and timer switches. 4. Adjust control valve according to your poollspa size. Use a test kit. It is recommended that the chemical residual be checked daily for the first 5 days. Remember... hot days, higher water temperature or increased pollspa activity will cause your poollspa to use more sanitizer. When possible, increase the feed rate a day or two in advance. Because the sanitizer demand in your poollspa 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. For example, the winter setting may be #2 while the summer setting is #3. Check the 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 0-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 and outlet line each time feeder is recharged. Replace lines yearly if necessary. BELOW WATER LEVEL INSTALLATION 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 splash back of high chlorinated water during recharging. Drill and tap a %" 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 optional drain valve, Part R172060, or 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 0-Ring is clean, lubricated with Lifegard Silicone and in place, replace cap. 7. Turn on pump and timer switches. 8. Reset control valve to original setting. lnspect inlet and outlet line each time feeder is recharged. Replace lines yearly if necessary. READ CAREFULLI This feeder is designed to use only Trichloro-s-triazinetrione OR Bromine tablets-slow dissolving type UNDER NO CIRCUM- STANCES mix Trichlor OR Bromine with Calcium Hypochlorite, with other forms of concentrated chlorine or with other chemicals FIRE AND EXPLOSION MAY RESULT. NEVER use oils or grease to lubricate O-ring. Oil in contact with Trichlor OR Bromine may result in fire. Lubricate O-ring with Lifegard Silicone O-ring Lubricant only, available at your dealer. Caution should be used when removing feeder cap. Do not inhale fumes. If shock treatments or Algaecides containing chemicals other than sanitizer tablets in feeder must be used, turn off Feeder OR remove tablets until the shock or Algae treatment is complete and all granuals have dissolved. Failure to do so may result in granules mixing in feeder causing FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION. The shock or algae treatment dissolved in water is safe with tablets.

2 CAUTION Do not install feeder into copper plumbing. Pipe damage could occur. Never install feeder before heater. Heater damage could occur. Bromine Standpipe Installation To increase errosion of small Bromine tablets install Bromine Standpipe as follows: 1 Insert adapater (25) into check valve (20) opening end at bottom of chamber. 2. Push end of 6" tub (26) supplied into 14 adapater opening.

(There is no chance for 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. Water velocity too high. 2. Water ph less than 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, #R172323* and #R172324* 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 listed above. *Note: Valve size and tubing size must match. 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.

5 #300=29X CHLORINEIBROMINE FEEDER For commercial-size applications Features: No special venting required. Completely enclosed-no escaping. -- gases. positive external no-clog chlorine control valve. No equipment damage. Feeds sanitizer directly to pool or spa. All parts replaceable. WHERETO INSTALLYOUR FEEDER IFYOUR POOL OR SPA HAS COPPER PLUMBING... STOP!! Never ~nstall Ihe feeder into copper plumbing as pipe damage could occur. Feeder should be installed ABOVE POOL WATER LEVEL whenever practical If installed below water level these special instructions must be followed for safe and proper operation. When the feeder is installed below water level, two conditions must be overcome 1, ISOLATION OFTHE FEEDER FROM POOL WATER: The control valve when shut off to "off" isolates it on the side. A one way check valve such as the Rainbow R172324NS or other chemicallv resistant check valve will have to be attached on the discharoe line at the top of the feeder. NOTE: Never use any type of isolation valve on the d~scharge or outlet side of the feeder. Damage to the feeder will occur due to pressure build up Use only a one-way corrosion resistance check valve. If isolation valves are used, remember to open them as soon as possible following recharging. Never leave closed for long periods of time as pressure will bu~ld up. Isolation is necessary to accomplish "DRAINING" in condition #2 which follows 2. DRAINING: To prevent dangerous splash back of highly chlorinated water during recharging, the feeder will have to be emptied There is a %" MPT plug on side of feeder (see drawing) that can be removed for draining To facilitate draining: A dram valve IS available from your dealer. Details on back drawlng. The outlet lhne must be installed after the heater. If your pool does not have a heater, then it must be installed after the fllter. DAMAGE TO YOUR HEATER COULD RESULT IF HIGHLY CHLORINATED WATER FLOWS THROUGH IT. REFER TO INSTALLATION DRAWING FIGURE A Install the inlet llne between the pump and filter. Detailed installation instructions follow ~n the next section. IMPORTANT PLUMBING HINTS All male pipe fittings must be wrapped with 3-4 turns of teflon tape to act as a thread sealant Always wrap counter-clockwise (opposite of direction to tighten) Never overtighten fittings, they are plastic and can be broken. Usually 2-3 turns past finger tight will prevent any leaks. A fitting can always be tightened more 11 it leaks but not once it IS broken Additional saddle clamps (Part No. R172264) may be required if plumbing is over 2" in diameter. Clamps can be interlocked For plumbing 3" to 6" diameter, order saddle clamps (Part No R172264XL). It is recommended that the Feeder be bolted down.) 1 Position feeder close to the filter and cut tubing to desired length. Be careful to cut tubing ends straight 2. AlTACH INLET LlNE TO FEEDER. Wrap %" x short nipple with teflon tape. Screw nipple into bottom %" FPT hole in side of feeder. Screw control valve onto other end of nipple Be careful not to overtighten. Wrap 90 degree tube fitting with teflon tape and screw into valve Push compression nut over tubing end of elbow. Push tubing onto tapered end of elbow. Tighten nut firmly by hand. SEE DRAWING ON OTHER SIDE OF INSTRUCTION SHEET. 3. AlTACH OUTLET LlNE TO FEEDER. Wrap 90 degree fitting with teflon tape and screw into top 'iz" FPT hole on side of feeder. Push compression nut over tubing end, then push tubing onto tapered end of elbow. Tighten nut firmly by hand. 4 INSTALL INLET LlNE IN PLUMBING. (Line to bottom side of feeder).turn off pump and tlmer switches. Drill 9/16" hole in plumbing, remove burrs and install saddle clamp assembly. Secure tubing to saddle clamp f~tting by tightening clamp. Make sure clamp is below rib at end of saddle fltting. SEE DRAWING FIGURE A. 5. INSTALL OUTLET LlNE IN PLUMBING. (Line from top of feeder.) Drill 9/~6" hole in plumbing AFTER the heater and remove burrs. SEE DRAWING FIGURE A. Install saddle clamp assembly Attach tubing as in #4 above, Installation is now complete. SEE INSTALLATION DRAWING FIGURE A ON OTHER SIDE. DIRECTIONS FOR USE Before start up of feeder, your pool should be properly conditioned and the chlorine residual should be 1.0 to 1.5 ppm, (Bromine ppm). The sanitizer demand in a pool varies and is dependent (upon many factors; sunlight, bather load, water temperature, etc. As a result, the valve setting may have to be changed from time to time to conform to conditions. For example, the winter setting may be 2 and the summer setting may be 3. Recommended start setting #3. Check residual daily to find ideal valve setting. Note: Higher numbers dispense more sanitizer. START UP INSTRUCTIONS Exerclse extreme caution when opening or servicing feeder. Do not inhale fumes. Wear protective gear. Follow manufacturer's suggestions for handling the chemical. 1. If below water level, close the control valve and drain any water in feeder by removing '/in NPT plug in bottom, or by opening valve on optional drain kit. After draining, reinstall plug (use teflon tape) or close drain valve. 2. Remove cap of feeder and fill with Trichlor or bromine tablets. For maximum dispensal rate use 1" diameter tablets, 3" tablets produce less than 40% of 1" tablets. 3 Making sure 0-Ring is clean, lubricated with Lifegard Silicone and is in place, replace cap Hand tighten only. 4. Turn on pump and timer switches. Open control valve to #5 for one minute; which will allow feeder to fill with water. Adjust control valve according to your pool's size. Larger numbers dispense more sanitizer. The water in a newly filled pool should be properly conditioned to ensure maximum effectiveness of the Lifegard Automatic Feeder. Consult your local pool dealer for water conditioning information in your area. Refer to tablet container for recommended residual. It is recommended that the sanitizer level be checked daily for the first 5 days. Remember that on hot days higher water temperature or increased pool activity will cause your pool to use more sanitizer. When possible, increase the feed a day or two in advance. HOWTO RECHARGE 1. SHUT OFF PUMP AND TIMER SWITCHES. OPEN CONTROL VALVE TO #5 (I: below water, level, see special instructions below.) 2. Remove cap; this will allow water and fumes to drain from feeder. 3. Fill with PROPER SIZE TABLETS (SEE START UP INSTRUCTIONS #2) 4. Mak~ng sure 0-Ring is clean, lubricated with Lifegard Silicone and is in place, replace cap. Hand tighten only 5. Turn on pump and timer switches. 6. Leave control valve on #5 for one minute, this will allow feeder to fill with water. Reset control valve to original settlng, lnspect inlet and outlet lines each time feeder is recharged. Replace lines yearly if necessary Model X may require drain kit part #R and a corrosion resistant check valve part #R (See illustration) 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.
