As a routine practice, check gas connections for leaks once a day. Green or
reddish deposits on metal parts indicate possible leaks. No gas odor should
be in evidence around equipment, except when a joint is temporarily opened.
CAUTION: When any connection is broken even for a short time, immediately
plug the resultant openings with a rubber stopper or equivalent to prevent
the entrance of moisture. Moisture must be excluded from any part of the
equipment that is normally exposed to dry chlorine only. While dry chlorine
is non-corrosive, moist chlorine is extremely corrosive to common metals,
such as brass or steel.
• WATER LEAKS
As a matter of routine maintenance, tolerate no water leaks. Repair all
water leaks as soon as they are discovered.
4.1.2 Plastic Parts
Whenever threaded plastic parts are assembled, use Teflon tape or Halocarbon
grease on the threads to prevent the parts from freezing together. In general,
do not use tools to make up plastic connections. Make this type of connection
by hand.
4.2 Cleaning Parts
If the rotameter tube, the rotameter float, the V-notch plug, or any valve
seats or passages become contaminated with impurities sometimes found in
chlorine, remove and clean them. Most of the residue that accumulates on
the chlorinator parts can be removed with warm water and a detergent. Pipe
cleaners or soft brushes may facilitate cleaning but wire brushes, scrapers,
and the like should be avoided as they will damage the parts. Refer to the ap-
propriate section in this instruction book.
WARNING: DO NOT USE HYDROCARBONS OR ALCOHOLS BECAUSE RESID-
UAL SOLVENT MAY REACT WITH THE GAS. SOLVENTS CAN PRODUCE SERI-
OUS PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS UNLESS USED IN STRICTEST COMPLIANCE
WITH THE SOLVENT MANUFACTURER’S SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS.
All traces of detergent or moisture must be removed from the parts before
they are returned to service. Do not use heat on plastic parts.
4.3 Inspection
After the disassembled parts are cleaned, and prior to reassembly, perform
the following:
a. Check for physical damage to removed parts (chipped, cracked, damaged
threads, etc.). Replace damaged parts.
