Hazardous conditions to avoid:

DURING BACKWASHING CYCLE

Prior to beginning the backwash cycle, turn booster pump off and close the inlet and outlet ball
valves to prevent water flow into the feeder during the backwash cycle.  Once backwashing cycle is
completed, return valves to previous setting and resume booster pump operation.  

SHOCKING OR SUPERCHLORINATING

Prior to the application of shock or superchlorinating product to the pool, turn booster pump off and
close the inlet and outlet ball valves to prevent water flow into the feeder.  Do not reopen valves for
at least 2 hours following application of shock or superchlorinating product to prevent contamination
of tablets.

WINTERIZATION OF FEEDER

If the pool circulation system is shut down during the winter the following procedures are recom-
mended:

1.  Operate the feeder until all the Vantage Calcium Hypochlorite Tablets are dissolved. 
2.  Flush the feeder with fresh water.  Follow cleaning procedures to remove any residue in the

feeder.  Be careful when handling the float assembly and level switch.

3.  Drain feeder completely of water.  
4.  Disconnect feeder from power and water supply.  
5.  Store feeder out of sun in a clean, dry location.
