If you
Turn control valve toward 0

Decrease the V-D-C mix amount
You will
Decrease the ow of feed solution
Increase the ow of feed solution
Be able to decrease the feed solution ow
Have to increase the feed solution ow
And
Increase the amount of time between solution batch mixing.

Decrease the amount of time between solution batch mixing.
Keep in mind
You might not be adding enough feed solution to dechlorinate the water.
You might be using too much V-D-C mix and overdosing the discharge water.
More V-D-C will be used and less time spent making solution batches.
Less V-D-C used. More time spent making solution batches.

FLOW RATE in gallons per minute (GPM)
Needle Valve Setting 150-200 GPM 200-300 GPM 300-400 GPM 400-600 GPM 600+ GPM
FULL OPEN 22 gph (14 min) 45 gph (7min) 64 gph (5 min) 90 gph (3 min) 110 gph (3 min)

Connect the hydrant adapter, control valve, or extension hose directly to the hydrant. Thread the hydrant adapter onto the end of the control valve or extension hose if used. This step is done regardless of which set-up is used.

Set-Up
NOTE: When using deChlorinator at very
high ows, be sure to place pin in hole (shown below) to prevent the camlock from
blowing off.

CONFIGURATION #4 If you want to connect the deChlorinator to a re hydrant, using 20 feet of 3” ID exhaust hose connected to the deChlorinator outlet. Follow these steps.
NOTE: It is NOT recommended that the deChlorinator be connected directly to a hydrant with an exhaust hose connected to the outlet for use under 300 gpm.

Operation
Once you have completedyour set-up, the last steps are simple. This section of the manual deals with your deChlorinator’s gauges, valves and hoses. It will outline and explain the ow direction, vacuum gauge and feed solution valve.
The ow direction for dechlorinating is clearly marked on the top of your deChlorinator.
Feed solution ow begins as needle starts moving Vacuum = Suction Suction = Suction Flow
Counter clockwise rotation opens valve. Note color coding under valve handle: Color under valve handle denotes how open the valve is. RED = one turn BLUE = two turns ORANGE = three turns GREEN = full open
TM
To install tubes on the Make Up Water Port and the Feed Soution Ports, just push tube in.
Removal is just as easy. To remove tubes, push in on outside collar while pulling away from unit on tube. Be sure not to force or overpull on the ttings.
• Connect the sampling tube to MAKE-UP WATER PORT
• Connect the feed solution tube to the FEED SOLUTION PORT.
• Connect the opposite end of the feed solution hose into the solution control valve located at the bottom of the bucket.

Operation
Now that you have the feed tubes connected properly you’re ready to start the ow of water.
Begin the ow of water
TM
Control valve will ne-tune the ow of the feed solution
The feed solution ow can be ne-tuned with the control valve. This allows just enough dechlorinating solution to be fed to the water ow and extends the time between making up more batches of feed solution.
NOTE: Frequently check chlorine content of the discharge water and adjust the feed solution as needed.

Problem
deChlorinator not producing enough suction
Make-up/Sampling water not producing enough water ow
deChlorinator
Troubleshooting
Possible Solutions
• Open up feed solution valve. Rotate valve in counterclockwise direction to open.
• Increase water ow rate.
• Check for blockage.
• Elevate bucket above deChlorinator. This will create a siphon.
• You might have too much exhaust hose length, too small an ID on your exhaust hose, or too much restriction on your diffuser. Shorten the exhaust hose length, and increase the exhaust hose ID.
• Increase the amount of water ow, by opening hydrant more
TM
Outlet water not dechlorinated.
Youʼre at zero residual Cl, but your suspect youʼre using too much dechlorinating agent
• Increase the amount of dechlorinating reagent by scooping more into the feed solution mix.
• Slowly rotate the needle valve in the clockwise direction until you see just a trace of Cl., then rotate back half a turn. Check to make sure your residual is at zero.
