Section 1. –  Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a 

Chemflo

feeder.

The

Chemflo

dosing unit is designed for maximum reliability to give you many years of service. 

The

Chemflo

is easy to operate. This manual provides all the details required for correct 

installation and operation of the unit. If at any stage you require assistance, please contact your 

local dealer. 

Please note that the 

Chemflo

 must be serviced or repaired by authorised personnel only. Opening 

the unit by unauthorised persons may cause an electrical shock, resulting in serious injury or 

death. If the power lead becomes damaged, the unit must be returned to your dealer or repaired by 

an authorised person only.

1.

Dosing Pump

.................... This can be used for either Chlorine or Acid. 

2.

LED Display

...................... The display provides a visual indication of the dosing rate. 

3.

Dose Rate Control

............ Set the control to add more or less chemical, turn dosing 

OFF or allow the pump to operate continuously (eg. for 

pool start-up or super-chlorinating). 

4.

Piggy-back power Plug

... Plug this into a 240V AC power outlet which is controlled 

by a timer. The main pool pump then plugs into the piggy-

back plug. This ensures that the 

Chemflo

 only adds 

chemical when the main pool pump is on.
