NOTE: For a pool/spa combo with 2” PVC plumbing and equipment, install the feeder
on the pool return line after the diverter valve that diverts water to the spa. Then
install a minimum section of 6” x 1.5” PVC pipe from the diverter valve into
the inlet side of the feeder using 1.5” unions. Continue with 2” PVC pipe on the
outlet side of the feeder. This will compensate for the water being diverted to
the spa.
2. Glue Jandy Universal Unions into 2” or 2 1/2” PVC pipe.
3. When plumbing 90 degree elbows directly into the feeder inlet it may cause
turbulence inside the elbow which prevents water from entering the feeder. A
minimum of 6" PVC pipe should be installed between the elbow and the inlet of the
feeder.
4. Ensure valve nuts are hand tight.
5. The arrows on feeder body should point in the direction of the water ow returning to
the pool.
6. Use only PVC cement. Follow the directions on the cement label. Allow time for the
PVC cement to completely dry.

Section 5. Operation
NOTE: The consumption of chlorine in swimming pools varies according to use,
temperature, exposure to sunlight, and other factors. Initially you will need to
experiment with the control valve to ensure that the unit doses enough chemical
to maintain an adequate residual. Start with the valve in the 50% position. Test
the residual regularly using instructions below.
Elevated Chemical Concentrations and Hazardous Gas - The introduction
of potentially hazardous gas or elevated chemical concentrations into the
pool or spa during backwash and periods of no flow in the circulation system
may cause serious personal injury, or death. To avoid, use the following
guidelines:
• Set dosage indicator to zero before stopping water ow through the
chlorinator.
• Minimize backwash time.
• Do not shut off pump for extended periods.
• Do not allow bathers into the pool or spa area until full ow through
the circulation system has been established.
WARNING
1. This tablet feeder is designed to help you maintain a chlorine residual. Always start
a new feeder installation by ensuring that the chlorine is already at a proper residual
level. Consult your local dealer for water conditioning information in your area. The
residuals should be 1-3 ppm of free chlorine.
2. Remove cap of feeder and ll with proper size tablets. For pools use 1" or 3" diameter
tablets. For spas use 1" tablets.
3. Completely ll body with water, and bleed out entrapped air in all system lines.
Replace cap making sure o-ring is clean, lubricated with silicone lubricant and in
place.
4. Turn on pump and timer switches for a minimum of 6 to 8 hours. The water level
inside chlorinator will be 3 – 5 inches under normal running conditions.
5. Adjust the control valve counter-clockwise for more ow through the erosion feeder
and more chlorine. Or adjust clockwise for less chlorine according to the size of
the pool/spa. Use a test kit to determine the chemical residual. Check the chemical
residual daily for the rst ve days.
Page 11
Jandy® TruChlor Erosion Feeder | Installation & Operation Manual ENGLISH
NOTE: Hot weather, high water temperature 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 adjustment depending on the
conditions.
NOTE: If the feeder does not provide enough chemical residual when using 3" tablets,
switch to 1" tablets for faster erosion and increased residual.
NOTE: When maintaining the chlorinator, always check o-rings for damage, breaks,
swelling, etc. Replace if necessary. (see Replacement Parts list)
Replacing Tablets
In order to prevent risk of serious property damage, injury or death:
• Wear eye and skin protection while maintaining or servicing this unit.
• Do not inhale fumes from the chlorinator or chemical container.
• Chlorine feeder may be under pressure. Use caution removing cover.
WARNING
1. Shut off the pump and turn the control valve to the closed position. The check valve
will prevent water from entering the feeder.
2. Loosen cap but do not remove. Wait one minute to allow water and fumes to drain
from feeder.
3. Leave the control valve closed. Slowly remove the cap by tilting it away from
yourself, such that any remaining gas that escapes is directed away from you. Check
the position of the internal grate after each relling. The grate may come out of its
resting place when tablets are added to the chlorinator.
4. Fill the feeder with tablets. NEVER MIX CHLORINE TABLET TYPES. DO NOT
USE WITH CALCIUM HYPOCHLORITE OR BROMINE.
5. Completely ll body with water, and bleed out entrapped air in all system lines.
6. Replace cap making sure o-ring is clean, lubricated with silicone lubricant, and in
place. Lubricate o-ring with approved silicone o-ring lubricant only. (Hand tighten
only).
7. To maintain knob range of motion and o-ring seal, fully rotate control valve before
setting output level. Turn knob clockwise to 0 (closed), then counter-clockwise to
100 (fully open) and then open control valve to desired setting.
NOTE: Keep an eye on the tablet level in the unit, preferably reload BEFORE they run
out.
