DISINFECTANT FEEDERS
Disinfectant feeders shall comply with applicable require- ments established by the NSF/ANSI 50-2010 performance standard effective August 2010 for disinfectant feeders. In addition to the requirements for chemical feeders as indi- cated in Section 3133B, the following apply to disinfectant feeders.
3134B.1 Minimum capacity.¶
All feeders shall be capable of supplying not less than the equivalent of 3 pounds (1 kg) of 100 percent available chlorine per day per 10,000 gallons (37,850 L) of pool water capacity.
3134B.2 Rate of flow adjustment.¶
A visible means of deter- mining the rate of flow through the device shall be provided for each disinfectant feeder.
3134B.3 Compressed chlorine gas disinfectant equipment.¶
Chlorine gas shall not be dispensed directly into the water of a pool except as an aqueous solution through the return line of the recirculation system.
3134B.3.1 Compressed gas containers. Each container or cylinder shall be secured to prevent accidental movement. A valve protection cap shall be provided to cover the discharge valve at all times when the cylinder is not connected to the dispensing system.
3134B.3.2 Container scale. Compressed gas chlorine con- tainers in use shall be on a scale in the gas chlorinator room.
3134B.3.3 Chlorine feeding device. The chlorine feeding device shall be capable of delivering chlorine in an aqueous solution at the maximum design rate. The device shall not allow the backflow of pool water into the chlorine container. The device shall not allow the release of chlorine gas to the atmosphere under normal operating conditions. The device shall be designed and installed to conduct chlorine gas leaks to the outdoors during a release of chlorine gas or an inter- ruption of the water supply.
3134B.3.4 Piping. Piping carrying chlorine gas under pres- sure shall not be located outside the gas chlorination equip- ment room.

Notes for Figure 31B-1 and Table 31B-1: 1. Maximum radius shall equal D2 minus D1 dimensions. 2. Radius at the shallow end shall not be more than 12 inches. 3. The length of a section is based on the maximum slope and other maximum and minimum dimensions. 4. Where there is a break in slope, the break shall be located at a water depth equal to 4'-6". 5. The springline depth at (4) shall not be more than 4'-0". 6. The maximum water depth shall be 3'-6". 7. Each pool shall be provided with a main drain submerged suction outlet typically located at the bottom of the pool that conducts water to a recirculating pump.
