WARNING • READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS • SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! To reduce the risk of injury and product damage:

ALWAYS be sure system is OFF before performing any maintenance. This feeder is designed to use only Chlorine (Trichloro-s-triazinetrione) or Bromine
(Bromochloro-5, 5 Dimethyl hydantoin) tablets, slow dissolving type. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MIX Trichlor OR Bromine with Calcium Hypochlorite, with other
forms of concentrated chlorine or with other chemicals. FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION MAY RESULT. NEVER use oils or grease to lubricate O-ring. Oil in contact with
Trichlor OR Bromine may result in FIRE. Caution should be used when removing feeder cap. Do not inhale fumes. No shock treatments or Algaecides containing
chemicals other than sanitizer tablets are to be used in feeder. The shock or algae treatment dissolved in water is safe with tablets. ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTION
for eyes, skin and clothing when working with chemicals. Do not smoke and avoid sparks and open flames. Turn off pump and control valve before opening
chlorinator. Use of bulk chemicals may result in damage to pool. Chemicals will dissolve very quickly and may cause bleaching to liner due to over-chlorinating,
possibly causing unsafe pool conditions. Settings in excess of the recommended control setting levels for the chlorinator can result in excess chlorine being
discharged in your pool. This can result in bleaching or discoloration of areas around the pool inlet or in some cases bleaching of the entire pool liner or paint. Check
chemical residuals regularly.
