The Operator’s Guide has been pre-

pared to acquaint the owner/opera-

tor with this water ltraon unit, its

various controls, maintenance and

safety instrucons. It is valuable for

the proper use of The Flex-Chlorina-

tor and should be kept with the unit

at all mes.

Make sure you read and under-

stand the content of the Operator’s

Guide.

For any quesons pertaining to the

warranty and its applicaon, consult

the WARRANTY secon in this guide

and/or a First Water representave.

Operaon and Maintenance Safety

NEVER posion the Flex-Chlorinator directly over the Chlorine Diluon

Container. The sucon hose from the Chlorine Diluon Container to the

Flex-Chlorinator should fall below the top of the container, then rise back

up to the injector (see installaon diagrams).

NEVER leave the Flex-Chlorinator or water lines full of water during freez-

ing temperatures. Visually inspect the Flex-Chlorinator and water system

for leakage.

Warning! Risk of Chemical Overdose

To reduce risk, follow proper installaon methods and instrucons. The

point of chemical injecon should be beyond all pumps, lters and heat-

ers.

NEVER use chlorine with fragrance, perfume of detergent addives.

Noce:

This injecon system and its components have been tested for use with

Sodium Hypochlorite (5-15%).

The Flex-Chlorinator provides a means of delivery for chemicals in gen-

eral. First Water Systems, Inc. does not suggest or recommend ways or

procedures for using any chemical.

First Water Systems, Inc. is not responsible for injury incurred by the mis-

use or improper handling of chemicals.

Chemical Preparaon

The presence of chlorine residual in drinking water indicates that:

1) a sucient amount of chlorine was added inially to the water to inac-

vate the bacteria and some viruses that cause diarrheal disease; and

2) the water is protected from recontaminaon during storage.

The presence of free residual chlorine in drinking water is correlated with

the absence of disease-causing organisms, and thus is a measure of the

potability of water.

The recommendaons of the CDC Safe Water System (SWS) are as fol-

lows:

1. At 30 minutes aer the addion of sodium hypochlorite there should

be no more than 2.0 ppm of free chlorine residual present (this ensures

the water does not have an unpleasant taste or odor).

2. At 24 hours aer the addion of sodium hypochlorite to containers

that are used by families to store water there should be a minimum of 0.2

ppm of free chlorine residual present (this ensures microbiologically clean

water).

Further, the CDC Safe Water System recommends tesng residual chlo-

rine by the following methods:

1. Pool test kits

2. Color wheel test kits

3. Digital Chlorimeters

Note: This informaon is provided as a courtesy of First Water Systems,

Inc. First Water Systems, Inc. does not suggest or recommend ways or

procedures for using chlorine in drinking water. Local regulaons should

be consulted before the use of chlorine in drinking water.

Chemical Preparaon

The Flex-Chlorinator is designed to inject a chlorine diluon into your

water supply to provide a residual amount of chlorine in your water.

Because First Water Systems can not guarantee the quality of water going

through the Flex-Chlorinator, the following guidelines are for the total

chlorine demand of your water, not the nal desired residual chlorine.

1. Open the case and remove the Chlorine Diluon Containers.

2. Follow the chart below to achieve the proper diluon of household

bleach. CAUTION: never use bleach with fragrance, perfume, detergent

or any other addives.

3. Posion the Flex-Chlorinator in line with your water treatment sys-

tem aer all pumps, lters and heaters; before your distribuon/storage

point.

4. Place the Chemical Pump Sucon Tube into the Chlorine Diluon Con-

tainer.

5. Make appropriate connecons as shown on the next page.

Operaon

Starng the Unit

1. Be sure the chemical pump is locked into the boom of the water mo-

tor. (1/4 turn to the right).

2. Open any valves between the Flex-Chlorinator and distribuon points.

3. Open any valves between the water source and the Flex-Chlorinator.

4. Open air vent unl all trapped air is released.

5. Warning! The Chlorine Diluon Container must be connually moni-

tored to ensure your water treatment system does not connue to oper-

ate aer the chlorine soluon is depleted.

6. When the water motor is working properly, you should hear a clicking

sound.

Stopping the Unit

1. Close any valves between the water source and the Flex-Chlorinator to

stop the ow of water.

2. Close any valves between the Flex-Chlorinator and water distribuon

points.

Installing the Pump to the Water Motor

1. Lubricate “O” rings on pump

housing with any food grade lubri-

cant when pump is removed from

motor.

NOTE: a light coang of lubricant is

all that is required.

2. Make sure the pump stem is

pulled all the way out (about 2”).

Push the pump up into the water

motor, and turn 1/4 turn clockwise,

port to front.

NOTE: the guide slot must be

aligned to t into the key on the

inside of the water motor.

3. Aer installing pump into boom

of water motor - loosen Jaco nut on

pump and insert hose into ng.

Re-ghten Jaco nut.

1. Make sure the water is turned

o, and water pressure in the water

motor is released - this is done by

loosening the Air Vent (pressure

relief valve) on the top of the water

motor and turning o the water

ow.

NOTE: Do Not Remove Air Vent.

2. Turn pump counter clockwise

1/4 turn, then pull down.

NOTE: always disconnect hose from

pump before removing.

Removing the Pump from the Water Motor

Pump Maintenance

Pump Motor Diagram:

Problem: Water Motor does not click. Water does not ow past unit.

• Cause: No water ow to motor.

• Soluon: Check that water is owing to Flex-Chlorinator.

• Cause: Incoming water is connected to the outlet side of the pump

motor.

• Soluon: Verify that the incoming water is connected to the inlet

(right side) of the pump motor.

Problem: Water Motor does not click. Water does ow past unit.

• Cause: Water motor is in “bypass” due to damaged parts on the in-

side of water motor or excessive wear of moving parts.

• Soluon: Contact First Water for support.

Problem: Motor click a few mes then stops.

• Cause: Unit is in bypass condion.

• Soluon: Shut o water. Relieve pressure at the air vent. Restart wa-

ter.

• Cause: Clogged chemical feed tube.

• Soluon: Inspect tube for blockage.

• Cause: Motor may be in bypass due to damaged internal parts.

• Soluon: Contact First Water for support.

• Cause: O-Ring on pump stem may have excessive wear.

• Soluon: Contact First Water for support.

Troubleshoong

Problem: Motor clicks, but chlorine is not drawn up the sucon hose.

• Cause: Pump cap is loose.

• Soluon: Hand ghten pump cap.

• Cause: Pump stem is not engaged into the piston clip in the water mo-

tor.

• Soluon: Remove pump, check for broken or worn pump stem at p.

Pump stem must be pulled out completely before being inserted into

the water motor.

• Cause: Damaged pump.

• Soluon: Contact First Water for support.

Problem: Chlorine is drawn up in the sucon hose, but them falls back

down.

• Cause: Vacuum leak.

• Soluon: Check sucon hose to ensure a ght t. Prime pump by

hand and verify that the soluon stays up in the sucon hose.
