How It Works
Chemical feeders and controllers deliver sanitizer and pH adjusters consistently. Tab chlorinators and floaters dissolve tablets at a controlled rate, automatic feeders and peristaltic pumps meter liquid chemicals, and controllers measure ORP and pH to tell feeders when to run. Storage and containment products keep chemicals separated, contained and safe.
How to Choose the Right Chemical Controller
- Size feeders to the pool volume and chemical demand.
- Confirm the chemical the feeder is rated for (trichlor tablets, liquid chlorine, acid).
- For controllers, check probe types, outputs and alarms needed for your health code.
- Choose containment sized for the containers you store.
If you are replacing an existing part, the fastest way to confirm compatibility is to match the brand and model number on the old equipment. Send us the model number or a photo of the label and our team will help confirm the IPS-M820 is the right fit before you order.
Installation and Safety
Install inline chlorinators after the heater with a check valve to protect equipment. Never mix chemicals, and never put cal-hypo in a trichlor feeder; the reaction can be violent. Follow the chemical manufacturer's safety data sheet and local codes.
Maintenance Tips
- Inspect feeder lids, O-rings and tubing regularly.
- Calibrate pH and ORP probes on schedule.
- Store chemicals cool, dry, ventilated and separated by type.
- Replace worn peristaltic tubes promptly.
