Material selections such as Viton and Hastelloy c-276 ensure that FlowVis® will provide many years of trouble-free 

operation in normally treated, sanitized pool water conditions. However, certain brands and designs of inexpensive 

chlorine feeders are known to fail and release high concentrations of chlorine or even chlorine gas into the 

surrounding filtration system. When this occurs, any equipment that comes into contact with these abnormal levels 

of chemicals, will experience rapid and catastrophic damage. Inspection of any failed components will quickly and 

conclusively confirm the cause of the damage, and under these circumstances, the product’s 

warranty will be void

.

Under no circumstances should FlowVis® be used as a ‘check valve’ to prevent the effects of these Chlorine Feeders 

damaging other equipment such as Heaters.

COMPATIBILITY

When using the ‘retrofit’ models listed in 

Table 3

 on 

page 3, it is important to note that each manufacturer’s 

valve body design has a unique hydraulic 

characteristic that will result in a specific FlowVis® 

calibration scale being required. It is therefore 

important that you select the correct FlowVis® model 

for the particular valve body that is installed in your 

system.
