• Chlorinator must be installed and operated as specified.
• Scratching or bending plates in vessel housing can reduce vessel life.
• Power to the DuoClear system should be turned off before unplugging the vessel connectors to prevent cell damage and low voltage sparks.
• Keep the electrode terminals protected with a light coating of silicone grease to allow for a positive electric connection. Use of any other type
of grease may damage the terminal seals and ‘o’ rings. Do not immerse these terminals in acid wash solution, and avoid accidental contact
with salt water.
• Water above the temperature of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C) flowing through the vessel can cause plastic vessel to discolor.
• Power pack must not be installed directly above any other heat source such as filter, pump or heater. It must be at least 1.0 Ft. (300 mm)
from the ground to allow free circulation of air around it. It must not be installed in a closed box. If the power pack is to be installed on a post,
then it must be centrally positioned on a flat panel of suitable waterproof material at least 10 inches (240mm) wide and 18 inches
(440mm) high.
• Check the cell frequently to prevent the accumulation of pool debris that for any reason may have by-passed the pool filter.
SAVE ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
ELECTRICAL HAZARD
• To reduce risk of electrical shock
- Make sure all power to pool equipment area is off prior to any installation or removal of DuoClear system components.
- Replace damaged power pack cord immediately.
- Do not bury cord. Locate cord to minimize abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers and other equipment.
• Severe shock or injury will likely occur as a result of a drill or drill cord coming in contact with water. Never allow electric drill or cord to come
in contact with water. Only plug drill into a Class A (5 Milliampere Trip) protected Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) in accordance with
the National Electrical Code Section 680 (USA only). Please see your drill owner’s manual for further safety precautions.
• Install the power pack at least 10 feet from the inside walls of a pool to prevent any possibility of the unit coming in contact with water.
• Your DuoClear system has been designed with an electronic flow sensor. This device automatically switches the chlorinator ‘OFF’ when the
water through the cell stops. To prevent vessel damage and personal injury, do not in any way interfere with this system which has been
designed for your protection.
CHEMICAL USE HAZARD
• To avoid personal injury when working with pool chemicals, always wear rubber gloves and eye protection and work in a well-ventilated area.
Use caution when choosing a location to open and use chemicals as they may damage any surface in which they come in contact.
• The addition of certain chemicals can reduce the effectiveness of chlorine. Always make sure that proper residual chlorine levels are
maintained to avoid personal injury.
• This product manufactures chlorine. Individuals with any type of chlorine sensitivity should take the appropriate precautions to avoid
injury or illness.
EQUIPMENT WATER PRESSURE HAZARD
• Always turn pump off prior to installing or removing any DuoClear system. Your pump/filter system is operated under pressure and the
pressure must be released before you begin work. Please see your pump/filter owner’s manual for further instructions.
• To avoid vessel damage and personal injury, water pressure in the vessel must not exceed 45 psi.
PREVENT CHILD INJURY AND DROWNING
• To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to operate this product.
• Do not let anyone, especially small children, sit, step, lean, or climb on any equipment installed as part of your pool’s operational system.
Unless otherwise stated, ALL components of your pool's operational system should be located at least 3 feet from the pool so children
cannot use the equipment to gain access and be injured or drown.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
