Operation
To refill the chlorinator
1. Isolate the chlorinator.
Important:
Close the
supply valve BEFORE closing the return valve to
prevent over-pressurization of the chlorinator.
2. Open the vacuum relief valve (Models 3075 &
3150) to relieve vacuum.
3. Remove the lid. (Be careful not to inhale fumes.)
4. Fill the chlorinator with Axiall LLC Accu-Tab
®
Tablets.
5. Replace the lid, making sure the surfaces are
clean and the O-ring is seated.
(Models 3008C, 3012, 3075 & 3150. Use
silicone based oil ONLY for lubrication.)
6. Close the vacuum relief valve.
7. Open the return
valve first
,
then the
supply valve.
To operate the chlorinator
1. Start flow through the chlorinator.
Important:
Open the outlet valve BEFORE opening the inlet
valve to prevent over-pressurization of the
chlorinator.
2. Adjust the control valve to the desired setting.
Check Available Chlorine regularly to determine
the best setting.
3. Adjust the control valve and refill the chlorinator
as needed to maintain chlorine levels.
Note:
When pool circulation stops, flow to the
chlorinator will stop. This will stop chlorine delivery.
Cleaning
The chlorinator should be cleaned twice per year to
remove any residual product that may accumulate inside
the unit. Cleaning may be accomplished by soaking in a
dilute acid solution. Addition of muriatic acid will lower
the pH of the water. Be prepared to add a suitable pH
increaser after cleaning is complete.
Preparation for cleaning:
1. Have 2 gallons (24 fl. oz. for 3008C & 3012) of
muriatic acid ready to add to the chlorinator.
Wear rubber gloves and rinse all equipment
thoroughly when finished.
2. Have a clean, empty container for storage of any
tablets inside the chlorinator.
3. Always use appropriate safety equipment while
servicing the chlorinator or handling chemicals.
To clean the chlorinator while installed:
1. Isolate the chlorinator from the system by
closing both the return and supply valves.
2. Remove the lid and remove all the tablets from
the chlorinator. Temporarily place these tablets
in the clean, empty container.
3. Rinse the chlorinator with water and (with the lid
removed) open the return valve temporarily to
drain the chlorinator.
4. Close the return
valve
and
repeat step number 3.
5. Close the return valve and fill the chlorinator with
water so there is about one inch of water above
the sieve plate. Using rubber gloves and other
safety protection, carefully pour the muriatic acid
into the chlorinator including the walls of the
chlorinator.
ALWAYS ADD ACID TO WATER,
NEVER ADD WATER TO ACID.
Leave the lid
removed and do not breathe any fumes. Let
soak for 30 minutes.
6. After 30 minutes, open the return valve. Open
the supply valve and flush the chlorinator for 30
minutes at 10-20 gpm (5 gpm on Models 3008C
& 3012).
7. After 30 minutes of flushing, isolate the
chlorinator and rinse the walls with water. Drain
the chlorinator by temporarily opening the return
valve. Rinse a second time and drain.
8. For models 3008C and 3012, rinse off the tablet
canister and soak in muriatic acid to remove any
residue, making sure all the holes are open.
Rinse well with water when finished.
9. Cleaning is now complete.
