Following the procedure outlined below will ensure a smooth start-up of the Pulsar 3 Chlorinator. For

seasonal operation, perform this procedure each spring.

IMPORTANT!!

Do NOT put Pulsar Plus Briquettes in the chlorinator during the start-up operation

Inlet Water Flow

e inlet water ﬂ ow system is designed to provide a steady side-stream of clean ﬁ ltered pool water to the

chlorinator.

1. Switch on the pool recirculation system and open all valves to the chlorinator.

2. Check the ﬂ ow indicator (if present) of the Pulsar system to see that water is ﬂ owing into the

chlorinator

3. Check to see that the three nozzles are

spraying water onto the Briquette-Tank grid

and water is ﬂ owing from Solids Removal

Manifold.

4. Check all lines leading to the Chlorinator

for leaks. hand tighten all ﬁ ttings if any leaks

are found.

Outlet Water Flow

e ﬂ oat on the Discharge Valve rises with

the water level and allows the pump suction

to draw the chlorinated water into the pool's

recirculation system as the Discharge Tank ﬁ lls

with water. When the water level drops, the

ﬂ oat falls, shutting o

Valve also contains a check valve to prevent

pool water from backing up into the Discharge

Tank. Use the following procedure to ensure

that the outlet water ﬂ ow system is operating

properly.

1. With the briquette hopper and deﬂ ection

plate of the chlorinator temporarily out

of the way, ﬁ ll the Discharge Tank with

su cient water to open the Discharge Valve

- use a hose or pail.

e ﬂ oat should rise, opening the Discharge

Valve, allowing water to be drawn out by

the Pulsar evacuation system (or venturi on

2" or less piping).

3. Check the system for leaks. If small air

bubbles are visibly moving, there may be

an air leak. Tighten the connections and

make sure the tubing is properly installed in

the ﬁ ttings. (NOTE: Air bubbles near the

Pulsar 3 Chlorinator body that do not move

are normal and do not indicate leaks.)

4. Check to see that water is ﬂ owing through

both nozzles of the solids removal system.

5. Check for air leaks after the Discharge

Valve closes.
