CMD POWERclean ULTRA Manuel D'installation

OFF-LINE CHEMICAL FEEDER
INSTALLATION & OPERATION
CMP# 25280-300
No special venting required.
Completely enclosed - no escaping gases.
Positive external no-clog control valve.
To prevent over chlorination during use, completely close the control
valve and the built in check valve will prevent chemical from being fed
into the pool or spa.
Read all information before proceeding with any installation. The
information will help you install your feeder properly and avoid problems.
IF YOUR POOL OR SPA HAS COPPER PLUMBING DO NOT INSTALL.
This will damage the feeder. NOTE: If heaters are used, and Fireman's
Switch or equivalent must be installed to prevent possible damage and
improper operation of Check Valve and other equipment subject to heat
damage. This product is designed to be installed above the water line.
DO NOT INSTALL BELOW WATER LEVEL.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
The POWERclean Off-Line Chlorinator is designed for use on existing
pools and spas or new pools and spas that are impractical for permanent
installation into the return line. The outlet line must always be installed after the
heater, pool cleaner, valves, etc. Note: Heater and other equipment may be
damaged by highly chlorinated water. If the pool has a heater, install the line to
the feeder between the filter and heater. If there is no heater then install the
feeder after the filter and all other equipment. Install the feeder in an upright
position. Always install feeder as far from and metal components as possible as
fumes can cause corrosion.
Position the feeder close to the filter and cut tubing to desired lengths
being careful to cut the ends straight.
Attach the inlet line to the feeder by pushing the black compression nut
over tubing and then push tubing onto the tapered end of the feeder.
Tighten the nut firmly by hand.
For using hard PVC pipe (not included) use the white nut and 1/2" schedule 40
PVC pipe.
Refer to the drawing on the next page to attach the outlet line to the
feeder. Be sure not to overtighten - this may cause damage to the
threads. Push the compression nut over the end of the tubing then push tubing
onto tapered end of the elbow. Tighten the nut firmly by hand. Install the inlet
line in the plumbing (line going to feeder). First, turn off the pump and timer
switches. Drill 3/4" hole in plumbing, remove burrs, and install the clamp
assembly (refer to drawing on next page). Attach the inlet line by pushing the
compression nut over tube end then push tube onto the tapered end of the tube
fitting. Tighten nut firmly by hand. Install the outlet line in the plumbing (line
from feeder).
Note: Be sure this hole is after the heater, filter, valves, etc. Install clamp
assembly. Attach outlet line by pushing the compression nut over tube
end then push tube onto the tapered end of the tube fitting. Tighten nut firmly
by hand.
This feeder is designed to use only Trichlor-s-triazinetrione OR Bromine tablets- slow dissolving type.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MIX Trichlor or Bromine with Calcium Hydrochlorite, 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. Lubricate o-ring
with approved silicone o-ring lubricant only. If you are not the original owner of this feeder, or not sure
which chemical was used, be SAFE and flush thoroughly with fresh water. CAUTION SHOULD BE USED
WHEN REMOVING CAP. DO NOT INHALE FUMES.

WARNING
Your CMP POWERclean Feeder is the best automatic feeder
that you can buy, however it can be dangerous! Please follow
the instructions exactly and note all warnings. Your safety and
the protection of your system are at stake!
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
Fill the feeder with water making sure to bleed out any entrapped air in any of
the lines. Before starting the feeder, to ensure maximum effectiveness of the
feeder the pool should be properly conditioned and the residual should be 1.0 to
1.5 ppm. Consult your local dealer for water conditioning information in your
area.
1. Remove cap of feeder and fill with proper size tablets. (For pools: 1"
or 3" diameter tablets. For spas: 1" tablets)
2. Replace cap making sure o-ring is clean, lubricated, and in place.
3. Turn on pump and timer switches for a minimum of 6 to 8 hours.
4. Adjust the control valve according to the size of the pool/spa. Use a
test kit to determine the chemical residual. It is recommended that the
chemical residual be checked daily for the first five days. Note: Hot
weather, high water, and increased use will cause the pool/spa to use
more chemical. Increase the feed rate a few days in advance when
possible. The valve settings may require changes depending on the
conditions.
RECHARGING THE FEEDER:
1. Turn control valve to the closed position. SHUT OFF PUMP.
2. Wait one minute allowing the water and fumes to drain from the
feeder.
3. Leave the control valve closed and turn on the pump. (The check
valve will prevent water from entering the feeder).
4. Remove cap and fill with tablets.
5. Replace cap making sure o-ring is clean, lubricated, and in place.
(Hand tighten only).
6. Open control valve to original setting. Inspect the inlet line below the
control valve each time the feeder is recharged. Replace the lines
yearly if needed.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:
If the feeder does not provide enough chemical residual when using 3"
tablets, switch to 1" tablets. Smaller tablets erode faster producing
more residual.
