Darlly spa and pool filtration parts

Darlly is a name most spa owners meet through filtration: cartridges, filter accessories and the small components that sit inside a filter housing and quietly do their job until they stop. The parts carry SC reference numbers, which makes them straightforward to identify once you know where to look. Here you will find the Darlly items listed for use with Jacuzzi filter assemblies, including the bromine feeder for J400 filters.

How SC reference numbers work

Every Darlly part is given an SC code, such as SC782. That code is the fastest and most reliable way to confirm a match, because the same physical component is often listed under several different original equipment numbers depending on the spa model and the year it was built. If you can find the SC number on the part itself, on its packaging, or on the paperwork from a previous order, quoting it removes most of the guesswork.

Where no SC number is visible, the next best approach is to work from the filter assembly. Note the spa series, the shape of the filter housing, and how the component attaches — by thread, bayonet or push fit — then compare that against the part description before ordering.

The bromine feeder for Jacuzzi J400 filters

A bromine feeder is a tablet holder that sits in the circulating water and releases sanitiser gradually as water passes over the tablets. Rather than dosing by hand each day and watching the residual rise and fall, the feeder maintains a steadier background level between water tests. The version listed here, SC782, is made for use with Jacuzzi J400 filter assemblies, where it fits into the filter compartment alongside the cartridge.

The usual elements of a feeder of this type are:

• Tablet chamber — the body that holds bromine tablets and allows water to pass through them.
• Adjustable collar or dial — opens and closes slots so the rate of release can be turned up or down.
• Cap — removed for refilling, and usually sealed so water enters only through the metered openings.
• Mounting feature — the thread, clip or spigot that locates the feeder in the filter assembly.

Checking you have the right part

Feeders look similar across brands but differ in the detail that matters — how they mount and how big they are. Before ordering, it is worth checking a few things:

• Spa series — confirm that the filter assembly is a J400 type, since other Jacuzzi ranges use different filter layouts.
• Position on the exploded view — if you have a parts diagram for the spa, note the position number for the feeder and the cap, as they are sometimes sold separately.
• Overall length and diameter — measure the old feeder, including the cap, so it will clear the cartridge and the compartment lid.
• Mounting type — a threaded base and a push fit are not interchangeable, so compare before removing the original.
• Seals — measure any O-ring or gasket on the cap before ordering a replacement, as a worn seal lets water bypass the metering slots.

Photographing the assembly before dismantling it is a small habit that saves a great deal of time when the new part arrives.

Getting the best from a bromine feeder

Start with the collar only slightly open, test the water, and increase the setting gradually; it is much easier to raise the release rate than to clear an overdose. Use bromine tablets only, and never load tablets of different chemistries into the same feeder, as mixing sanitiser types in a confined space is unsafe. Rinse the feeder when you change or clean the cartridge, and empty it before any long shutdown so that tablets do not sit in stagnant water. A body that has gone brittle, chalky or cracked, or a cap that no longer seals, is a sign the feeder has reached the end of its service life.

Here we list Darlly filtration accessories for Jacuzzi filter assemblies, including the SC782 bromine feeder for J400 filters. These are the small parts that are easy to overlook until the sanitiser level becomes hard to hold, at which point a tired feeder is often the cause.

Keeping them available alongside cartridges and seals means a filter compartment can be brought back to proper working order in one go, rather than replacing the cartridge and leaving the dosing side to carry on struggling.
