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.

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 #1
Extension hose connected to the hydrant with the
deChlorinator on the ground and a diffuser connected
to outlet.
Connect female end of extension hose to hydrant or
1
hydrant adapter. In this case the hydrant adapter is
connected to the end of the extension hose.
Connect female end of deChlorinator to male end of
2
extension hose.

Connect diffuser to male end of deChlorinator.
CONFIGURATION #2
deChlorinator connected to a hydrant, and a diffuser
connected to the deChlorinator outlet.

CONFIGURATION #3
This conguration is used when you wish to use the deChlorinator unit between hoses leading to
the hydrant adapter and diffuser.
NOTE: Keep in mind the extension hose needs to be extended straight out with no kinks or bends.
Connect female end of the extension hose to hydrant adapter.
Connect female end of deChlorinator to male end of extension hose.

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.

Connect deChlorinator to male end of hydrant adapter.
Connect exhaust extension hose to male end of deChlorinator.
This hose needs to be 3” ID, and no longer than 20 ft.

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.

Now that you have the feed tubes connected properly you’re ready to start 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.
