8 PreventaveMaintenance
8.1 PreventaveMaintenanceSchedule
Roune maintenance of the Pulsar® Precision Feeder is minimized when proper pool water balance is maintained. Maintain pool water
chemistry as follows:
TotalAlkalinity 60 – 80 ppm
CalciumHardness 200 – 1800 ppm
PH 7.2 - 7.6
LSI –0.3 - +0.5
Note: Adherence to these recommendaons at all mes will ensure the most eecve and
economical performance of the feeder
Note: The use of Carbon Dioxide gas (CO2) to lower pH will raise the Total Alkalinity
signicantly. High total alkalinity (over 80 ppm) will increase scale and solids buildup in
feeder.
Complete each of the following tasks during the rst week of each month.
