POWERCLEAN™ MAX
CHLORINE/BROMINE HIGH CAPACITY CHEMICAL FEEDER
®
DANGER: READ CAREFULLY!
Read all information before proceeding with any installation. The information will help you install your
feeder properly and avoid problems. IF YOUR POOL OR SPA HAS COPPER PLUMBING DO NOT INSTALL.
This will damage the feeder. 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.
INSTALLATION
PowerClean Max 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 in the feeder. The inlet side connects
to the plumbing between the pump and filter. The outlet line connects to the pool return. It should be
installed after the filter, pool cleaner, diverter valves, heater (if installed) and any other installed equip-
ment to prevent damage. A corrosion resistant check valve such as CMP HydroCheck 25830-350-000
(1.5”) or 25830-400-000 (2”) should be installed between the Powerclean inlet and outlet and the
equipment to prevent any equipment damage. HEATER DAMAGE OR OTHER EQUIPMENT DAMAGE MAY
OCCUR FROM HIGH SANITIZER CONCENTRATION BACK FLOW WHEN THE PUMP IS SHUT OFF. The
feeder should be installed bolted down..
OPERATION
Always use extreme caution when operating or servicing the PowerClean Max 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 your chemical manufacturer’s instructions for handling chemicals. NEVER introduce
chemicals via your pool’s skimmer.
Before starting the feeder properly balance pool water to
1.0-1.5ppm Chlorine or 2.0-2.0ppm Bromine. 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. It is
recommended to start-up on setting #1. Use testing kits to
determine proper Chlorine or Bromine 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.
This feeder is designed to use only Trichlor-s-triazinetrione OR Bromine tablets- slow dissolving type.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MIX Trichlor or Bromine with Calcium Hydrochlorite, with other forms of
concentrated chlorine or with other chemicals. FIRE AND/OR 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 approved silicone o-ring lubricant only. 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. CAUTION SHOULD BE USED
WHEN REMOVING CAP. DO NOT INHALE FUMES.
