SECTION 1 DESCRIPTION

1.1 GENERAL INFORMATION The ChlorKing® Venturi Chemical Feed System is designed to feed sodium hypochlorite to commercial pools and spas at rates up to 2 GPM. The system uses a standard venturi coupled to a flow control system. The flow control system consists of a flow meter, a solenoid and a manual flow rate control valve. The solenoid must be powered by a chemical feed controller capable of providing a 120 VAC control signal, proportional feed control, and a timeout function to prevent overfeeding. The manual flow rate control valve can be adjusted to provide any flow of chemical up to 2 GPM. 1.2 PRINCIPALS OF OPERATION

Venturi The venturi is plumbed into the pool circulation system return line, with either a bypass plumbing scheme or with the use of a booster pump. The flow across the venturi causes suction at the chemical feed port of the venturi. Flow Control System The flow control system provides a means to control both the duration and quantity of chemical that is fed to the suction of the venturi. The duration of flow is controlled by the solenoid via a chemical feed controller and the quantity is controlled by the manual flow control valve. 1.3 GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

SECTION 2 NSTALLATION

2.1 UNPACKING Units are shipped from the factory. In the event of damages during shipping, it is the responsibility of the customer to notify the carrier immediately and to file a damage claim. Open the crate or packaging carefully and examine all material inside. 2.2 STORAGE When storing units, use the original packaging and store under a shelter to protect the contents from weather. 2.3 SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WHEN INSTALLING, OPERATING, AND MAINTAINING THIS EQUIPMENT, KEEP SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS FOREMOST. USE PROPER TOOLS, PROTECTIVE CLOTHING, AND EYE PROTECTION WHEN WORKING ON OR INSTALLING THE EQUIPMENT. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL AND TAKE ANY ADDITIONAL SAFETY MEASURES APPROPRIATE. BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL IN THE PRESENCE OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES. THE PERSONNEL RESPONSIBLE FOR INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE OF THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE FULLY FAMILIAR WITH THE CONTENTS OF THIS MANUAL. ANY SERVICING OF THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE DONE WITH THE UNIT FULLY OFF AND DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE AND ALL PRESSURE BLED FROM THE LIQUID LINES.

WARNING

• CONNECT THE EQUIPMENT ASSEMBLY TO A CIRCUIT PROTECTED BY A GROUND-FAULT CIRCUIT-INTERRUPTER.

• ONLY A CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN MAY INSTALL AND SERVICE THE CHLORKING® VENTURI SYSTEM.

• MODIFYING THE CHLORKING® VENTURI SYSTEM IN ANY WAY MAY CAUSE BODILY INJURY AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.

Saline Chlorinator Install Manual Page 6 of 14 8/01/11

• DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO OPERATE THE CHLORKING® VENTURI SYSTEM.

• ONLY REPLACE COMPONENTS WITH THOSE SPECIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

• WHEN INSTALLING THE SYSTEM, ENSURE THAT POWER IS LINKED TO THE MAIN PUMP POWER SOURCE FOR THE POOL TO ENSURE THAT THE CHLORKING® VENTURI SYSTEM NEVER OPERATES WHEN THE PUMPS ARE OFF.

• THE SYSTEM HAS THE POTENTIAL TO RELEASE HIGH DOSES OF CHORINE. USE CAUTION WHEN HANDLING, SERVICING, OR OPERATING THE EQUIPMENT.

• CORD CONNECTED AT TIME OF MANUFACTURE

o DANGER – Risk of injury � Replace damaged cord immediately � Do not bury cord

2.4 PLAN AHEAD Almost every pump room encountered is different. It is imperative to have prior knowledge of the facility in which the unit is to be installed and to evaluate what type of tools, wall anchors, etc. will be needed to make the installation as problem free as possible. 2.5 FLOW CONTROL SYSTEM INSTALLATION Locate a space on the wall, in the pump room, that will accommodate the dimensions of the flow control system. The flow control panel must be mounted within 10 feet of the chemical feed controller to ensure that the cables will reach the power source. Install in an easy to access location about chest high. Using a level, mark where the board will be located. On a concrete wall installation, mark the wall (using a dot) where the first concrete anchor hole will be drilled. Install the panel directly to the mounting surface. 2.6 VENTURI INSTALLATION

The venturi injector requires at least 20GPM of filtered water to function properly. A bypass valve or booster pump is required to achieve this flow. A bypass valve schematic is shown on the next page and an installation is shown on page 9.

Plumb the inlet of the venturi to the return line of the pool after all other pool components such as heaters etc. Use at least 1-1/2 inch PVC pipe for this connection. Be sure the venturi is installed in the correct direction for flow. Use the arrow located on the venturi to confirm flow is going in the correct direction. Plumb the outlet of the venturi to the return line of the pool after the bypass valve or at least 18 inches after the inlet plumbing connection if a booster pump is used. Use at least 1-1/2 inch PVC pipe for this connection. Plumb the outlet from the flow control system to the suction of the venturi. Plumb the inlet of the flow control system to the chemical storage tank. 2.7 SYSTEM WIRING Plug the solenoid power cord into any standard chemical feed controller capable of 120 VAC output, proportional control, and adjustable timeout.

SECTION 3 OPERATION

3.1 STARTING AND OPERATNG THE SYSTEM Confirm that the chemical feed valve is open and the service valve is closed. Open the chemical flow control valve all the way. For system set up, plumb the inlet of the flow control assembly to a bucket of water. Activate the solenoid by plugging it into an outlet or by activating the feed functions on a chemical feed controller. Ensure that the flow meter will flow more than the desired flow rate of product up to 2 GPM. The bypass installed during installation can be adjusted to achieve this flow. Adjust the flow control valve for the desired rate. Reconnect the inlet of the flow control assembly to the chemical tank and readjust the flow to the desired level. If the desired flow rate cannot be achieved with this method. A booster pump will be necessary. For assistance with the booster pump, consult ChlorKing at 1-800-536-8180.

WARNING The chemical feed controller used to control the Venturi Feed System must be set to stop feeding after a set period of time. The time out function setting is calculated based on the size of the pool being chlorinated and the flow rate of sodium hypochlorite to the pool. Please contact the controller manufacturer for specific instructions or contact ChlorKing at 800-536-8180 for assistance. Failure to follow this warning may result in injury to persons.

SECTION 4 MAINTENANCE

The ChlorKing Venturi Feed System will need to be cleaned on a routine basis. The frequency of cleaning is determined by the type and quantity of sodium hypochlorite fed through the system. As a rule, the unit will need to be cleaned if flow rates drop from the initial values.

WARNING

Failure to follow the cleaning instructions exactly as written may result in damage to equipment of injury to persons. 4.1 CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS Shut the chemical feed valve. Attach the service valve to a bucket of fresh water and open the service valve. Activate the solenoid and flush all sodium hypochlorite from the system. Once all sodium hypochlorite has been flushed from the system, attach the service valve to a dilute (10:1) solution of muriatic acid. Flush the system for several seconds. Reattach the service valve to a bucket of fresh water and flush all muriatic acid from the system. Close the service valve and open the chemical feed valve. Readjust the flow with the flow control valve to the desired level.
