Seahunt Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 I just intalled it new and it is leaking both where it goes into and exits the chlorine feeder (fittings). It said use teflon tape in the fittings and I did. I don't want to tighten it too much to break the inlet or exit (with checkvalve) fitting. Any recimmendations? THanks!

pooltech9 Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Follow the directions and use the teflon tape that comes with it. It says to put 4 wraps of tape on the threads, wrapping in the direction that the threads go. You will be able to tighten them in until the fitting is flush with the chlorinator body.

Seahunt Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Thanks. It turns out the directions that came with it were very vague and only said "Don't Overtighten." I finally found them on the side of the unit itself and it said to tighten 1-1.5 turns after hand tighening. Turns out it was not tight enough.
