    The contents of this manual are intended to provide information regarding the installation, operation, 

maintenance and troubleshooting of Hydro Instruments’ VPH-10000-2 vaporizer.  It is critically important 
to read and become familiar with the contents of this entire manual before proceeding to install or operate 
the unit.  If you have any questions please consult Hydro Instruments.

    In certain instances throughout this manual, reference may be made specifically to chlorine.  However, 

the information may also apply to sulfur dioxide and ammonia systems.  Please consult with Hydro 
Instruments if using this product for a chemical other than chlorine.

    For more information on chlorine safety and handling practices, please refer to the following documents

  1. Safety Information

   Warning

 

  •  Chlorine is a hazardous chemical that can cause injury and death if not handled properly.  It is 

critically important to take all necessary precautions when handling.  This manual is not intended 
to replace or limit safety procedures in your facility.

 

  •  Safety procedures must be designed in accordance with all governmental regulations and national 

safety codes, after giving full consideration to the specific needs of the facility involved.  Under no 
circumstances should the information in this manual be construed as substituting or superseding 
any local, state, or federal laws and regulations.

 

  •  Hydro Instruments cannot anticipate the specific safety procedures required at every facility.  

Accordingly, Hydro Instruments does not guarantee that safety procedures designed in accordance 
with this manual will completely eliminate hazards and thus assumes no liability for accidents that 
may occur in your facility.

 

  •  Read this entire manual and be fully familiar with your equipment and your entire system so that 

the safety procedures you establish will meet the needs of the employees in you facility.  Reading 
only part of the manual will not help you analyze the needs of your facility.  Contact your chlorine 
supplier, the chlorine institute, and other similar organizations to obtain MSDS sheets and more 
information.

 

  •  All information in this manual was current at time of printing.  Please note the date of printing 

and possible obsolescence of material as a result of scientific and medical developments after the 
date of publication.  This applies to all materials you review in the course of developing safety 
procedures for use at your facility.
