Part Number R171096 Pool Feeder Overview The R171096 pool feeder is engineered to deliver reliable chemical feed performance with an upgraded design that improves sealing and reduces the risk of leakage. Built from durable materials, the unit features a stable internal structure and a reinforced water inlet hose to extend service life and reduce maintenance time. Key benefits Improved tightness and leak prevention due to an upgraded sealing design. Durable construction with a stable internal structure for consistent operation. Reinforced water inlet hose for extended service life and fewer replacements. Simple integration into existing pool circulation systems for reduced installation time. Features and attributes Function: Pool chemical feeder designed to introduce chemicals into circulation after filtration and heating where applicable. Part number: R171096 for easy identification and replacement. Material: Quality materials throughout the unit to maintain internal stability and prolong component life. Performance: Designed to minimize leaks and maintain a secure connection under normal pool operating conditions. Compatibility: Suitable for installation behind the heater, cleaner, and filter. If no heater is installed, the feeder can be placed directly after the filter. Please note the installation sequence to improve conversion rates. Installation guidance Install the feeder downstream of the filter and heater when a heater is present. If no heater is installed, position the feeder directly after the filter. Follow the indicated installation sequence to achieve correct flow and performance. Practical use scenarios Residential pool with heater and cleaner: Install R171096 downstream of the heater and filter to introduce chemicals into a properly conditioned flow. Pool system without a heater: Mount the feeder directly after the filter to ensure chemical contact with filtered water before to the pool. Routine maintenance setups for community pools or small commercial pools: Use the feeder as part of a scheduled chemical delivery system to reduce manual dosing and lower maintenance frequency. Why choose this unit Focused on reliable sealing and robust construction to help prevent common issues such as hose failure and leaks. Straightforward compatibility with standard pool system layouts simplifies installation planning. Durable materials and a reinforced inlet hose reduce downtime and can lower ongoing maintenance effort. Notes Keep the installation sequence in mind to ensure correct operation.
