CH100 Chlorine/Bromine Inline Chlorinator
FEATURES:
•For permanent installation in return line on pressure side of pump, downstream of all equipment, in new or existing pools or spas
•Completely enclosed system – no escaping gases so no special venting required
•Standard with 2" slip PVCfittings and adapters for 11/2"
•50 PSI maximum operating pressure
•Includes an external, fine, no-clog controlvalve that letsyou adjust the feed rate to meet specific pool or spa needs
•All parts are replaceable.
•Top-load large or smallTrichlor or Bromine slow-dissolving tablets enable an effective, trouble-free way to sanitize your pool or spa
•When used with time, chlorinator is designed to automatically lower the water level so tablets are not soaking during off period of pump. This allows more efficient use of tablets.
•Noequipmentdamagebecausesanitizerisfeddirectlytopoolorspa.
•To prevent over-chlorination during use, completely close the control valve and the built-in checkvalve will stop chemicals from being fed into pool or spa.
Your ChemStar™ chlorinator is the most efficient and trouble-free automatic chlorinator you can buy, but it can also be dangerous to you and your equipment. Please follow instructions exactly and heed all cautions.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
It is important to read all information BEFORE proceeding with the installation. The information will guide you in installing your chlorinator properly and help you avoid problems due to improper installation.
If your pool or spa has copper plumbing . . . Stop!!
Never install the chlorinator into copper plumbing, as pipe damage will occur. (See Equipment Safety CAUTION sheet enclosed).
NOTE: If heaters are used, a fireman’s switch or equivalent must be installed to prevent possible damage and improper operation of checkvalve and
other equipment subject to heat damage.
Installation instructions
Make sure all pumps and timer switches are in the OFF position.
Where to install your chlorinator
The CH100 chlorinator is designed for permanent installation in the return line ofyour new pool or spa and must always be installed after the heater, pool cleaner, valves, etc. Ifyour pool does not have a heater, then it must be installed after the filter or any other piece of equipment.
Damage to the heater and other equipment could result if highly chlorinated water flows through it. Your chlorinator may be 
installed in existing PVCplumbing but will require a union and/or other fittings. The chlorinator comes complete for installation
with 2" or 11/2" PVCplumbing. Choose a site in the return line where chlorinator can be installed in a vertical position. Always install as far from any metal equipment as practical since fumes, etc. can corrode them.

Basic plumbing installation instructions
2" or 11/2" PVC pipe: If chlorinator is being installed on a pool, spa or pool/spa combination, correct plumbing procedures must be followed to ensure proper flow through chlorinator. If pool or spa is plumbed with 2" PVCpipe, be certain the pump, filter and heater all have 2" inlet and outlet fittings. If any part of the equipment has less than 2" fittings or pipe, then a minimum of 6"x11/2" reducer bushings must be installed directly into the inlet side of the chlorinator using the 2"x11/2" reducer bushings supplied. This will build pressure directly into the chlorinator insuring proper operation. Continue with 2" PVCpipe on the outlet side of the chlorinator.
Pool/spa combination: If plumbing and equipment is a full 2" and the chlorinator is being installed on the pool return line after the diverter valve, with a portion of the water diverted to the spa, install a minimum section of 6" x 11/2" PVC pipe directly into the inlet side of the chlorinator using the 2" x 11/2" reducer bushing supplied. Continue with 2" PVC pipe on the outlet side of the chlorinator. This will compensate for that portion of water being diverted to the spa.
90° elbows: Plumbing a 90° elbow directly into the inlet side of the chlorinator may cause turbulence inside the elbow. This will prevent water from being scooped into the chlorinator. A minimum of a 6" length of PVCpipe should be installed between the 90° elbow and the inlet side of the chlorinator.
2" PVC: Simply glue chlorinator to the return line using PVCsolvent cement. Be sure arrows on chlorinator point in the direction of water flow returning to the pool or spa.
11/2" PVC: Remove two 2"x11/2" slip reducer bushings packed inside the chlorinator and glue into 2" slip tee on bottom of chlorinator. Complete installation by gluing into 11/2" return line, making sure the arrows on chlorinator point in the direction of water flow returning to the pool or spa. Use only PVCsolvent cement. Follow directions on solvent cement label. Allow to dry. Installation is now complete.

For example, the winter setting may be #2 while the summer setting is #3. Checkthe chlorine residual daily to find the ideal setting.
Higher numbers dispense more chemicals.Small, gradual changes are imperative for control.
How to recharge chlorinator
1.Turn controlvalve to the closed position.Shut off pump.
2.Wait one minute. This will allow water and fumes to drain from chlorinator.
3.Leave controlvalve closed and turn on pump. The checkvalve will prevent water from entering the chlorinator.
4.Remove cap and fill with proper size tablets or sticks. (See Operating Instructions #1)
5.Making sure O-ring is clean, lubricated with silicone and is in place, replace cap. Hand-tighten only.
6.Open controlvalve to original setting. Inspect inlet line below controlvalve each time chlorinator is recharged. Replace linesyearly if necessary.
