Looking for the decision guide? The Pulsar Precision 30 flagship page covers problems solved, scenarios, process, and FAQs in depth. This page is the specification and fit reference.
Overview
Precision 30 (model PS-1HCE30) brings dry calcium hypochlorite feed to pools far smaller than the full-size Precision serves. Its standard installation is flow-based through a Venturi bypass, with no booster pump, and its ~50 lb operating weight fits tight mechanical rooms.
Pulsar's product page now publishes a single recommended pool size for Precision 30: 10,000–300,000 gallons. Its installation manual gives more detailed guidance by exposure: up to 200,000 gallons indoor and 90,000 gallons outdoor non-stabilized (the relevant outdoor figure in New York, which prohibits stabilizer). That 300,000-gallon ceiling leaves a gap against the full-size Precision's published 500,000-gallon floor: pools in the 300,000–500,000-gallon range fall between the two models' stated ranges. FreyTech sizes by measured chlorine demand rather than either headline figure, and will tell a facility in that gap which model, if either, actually fits.
Is this a fit for your facility?
Usually a fit when
School, YMCA, hotel, and municipal pools moving off liquid bleach
Facilities with limited storage or delivery access
Mid-size pools whose demand exceeds small tablet feeders
Look elsewhere when
Very large or high-load pools (see Pulsar Precision)
Small warm therapy pools and spas where controls matter more than feed capacity
Ideal facilities and conditions: Mid-size lap pools; Hotel and resort pools; Camp and seasonal pools; Outdoor municipal pools within demand range.
Indoor up to 200,000 gal; outdoor non-stabilized up to 90,000 gal; outdoor stabilized up to 150,000 gal (not applicable in NY); spas up to 15,000 galSource: O&I Manual Rev 1.1, Table 12

Installation requirements and retrofit considerations
Prerequisites
Adequate filter pressure for the Venturi bypass, or booster-pump variant
Controller with chlorine-demand output and flow interlock
Dry-oxidizer storage per fire code
Plan review with the engineer where treatment equipment is modified
Retrofit and replacement notes
Frequently replaces liquid metering pumps at mid-size pools
Expect calcium hardness to rise; plan pH control
Confirm demand from a season of records before sizing
Integration with other equipment
BECSys3 / BECSys5Controller demand output drives the feeder solenoid.

Documented pairing
Pulsar Plus Calcium Hypochlorite BriquettesCalcium hypochlorite briquettes for Pulsar Precision and Precision 30 feeders. Pulsar's warranty requires Pulsar Plus briquettes.
Documented pairing
“Commonly considered together” means the pairing is typical in practice; technical compatibility is confirmed for each project.

What pool size does Pulsar recommend for Precision 30?
Pulsar's product page states a recommended pool size of 10,000–300,000 gallons. Its installation manual adds detail by exposure: up to 200,000 gallons indoor and 90,000 gallons outdoor non-stabilized, which is the relevant outdoor figure in New York. We size by measured chlorine demand, not headline gallonage.
What about pools between 300,000 and 500,000 gallons?
That range falls in a gap between Pulsar's two published model ranges: Precision 30 tops out at 300,000 gallons and the full-size Precision's stated range starts at 500,000 gallons. We evaluate those pools by measured chlorine demand and tell you honestly which model, if either, fits, rather than defaulting to one.
Expandable water-chemistry controller: pH, ORP, and temperature standard; free-chlorine PPM, alkalinity, flow, pressures, inventory, VFD, UV, and heater control optional. Ethernet, alarms, and BECSys Live included.
Entry-level BECS controller with a two-line display, pH/ORP control, optional free-chlorine sensor, and an optional Communications module for BECSys Live.
Patented high-capacity erosion feeder for calcium hypochlorite briquettes; manufacturer-rated for 500,000 to 1,000,000+ gallon pools; up to 189 lb/day available chlorine.
