WARNING! To reduce the risk of injury and product damage:
Feeders are designed to use only Chlorine (Trichloro-s-triazinetrione) or Bromine
(Bromochloro -5, 5 Dimethylhydantoin) tablets, slow dissolving type.
UNDER NO
CIRCUMSTANCES
MIX Trichlor OR Bromine with Calcium Hypochlorite, with other
forms of concentrated chlorine, or with other chemicals
FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION
MAY RESULT
.
NEVER
use oils or grease to lubricate 0-ring. Oil in contact with Trichlor
OR Bromine may result in
FIRE
. 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, then turn off feeder OR remove tablets until the shock or algae
treatment is complete and all granules 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.
ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTION
for eyes, skin and clothing when working with
chemicals. Do not smoke and avoid sparks and open flames. Turn off pump and control
valve before opening chlorinator. Use of bulk chemicals may result in damage to pool.
Chemicals will dissolve very quickly and may cause bleaching to liner due to over-
chlorinating, possibly causing unsafe pool conditions.
Settings in excess of the recommended control setting levels for the chlorinator can
result in excess chlorine being discharged in your pool. This can result in bleaching or
discoloration of areas around the pool inlet or in some cases bleaching of the entire
pool liner or paint (
CHECK CHEMICAL RESIDUALS REGULARLY
).
