Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Designed specifically for variable-speed and two-speed pump systems.
  • Manual provides a PowerClean Ultra VS performance chart by system GPM.
  • Can use 1 in. or 3 in. tablets depending on desired erosion and residual.

Watchouts

  • Use only slow-dissolving Trichlor or Bromine tablets; the manual warns not to mix with calcium hypochlorite or other concentrated chemicals.
  • Manual says not to install on pools or spas with copper plumbing.
  • Requires correct return-line placement so highly chlorinated water does not damage heaters or other equipment.

Error Codes & Troubleshooting

Low Chemical Residual
Manual special instructions say to switch from 3 in. tablets to 1 in. tablets when the feeder does not provide enough residual.
Cloudy Glass Lid
Manual instructions say to shut off the feeder, remove the lid, wipe it clean, and use a temporary replacement if the lid must be left off to clear.
Chlorine Residue In Grate
Manual notes the grate can be removed when chlorine gums up inside the bottom of the unit and may affect feeder performance.
