Week 3: Chemical Feeder Safety & Maintenance 

Chemical feeders play a critical role in delivering the right amount of sanitizer and pH control to keep pool water safe, but they require regular maintenance to function properly. Waiting until you run out of Salt, a CCH feeder is clogged or a Stenner tube starts leaking can lead to unexpected downtime, improper chemical dosing, and unsafe water conditions. Instead of reacting to problems as they arise, pool operators should take a preventative maintenance approach to avoid disruptions before they happen.

Establishing a scheduled maintenance routine is the best way to ensure chemical feeders operate efficiently. This includes regularly cleaning feeder components, checking injection points for buildup, replacing worn-out tubing or discs, and ensuring that feed pumps are primed and functioning. Proactive care not only extends the life of the equipment but also helps maintain consistent chemical levels, reducing the risk of water quality issues. A well-maintained feeder keeps operations smooth, prevents emergency repairs, and ensures swimmers enjoy a safe and balanced aquatic environment.
