SECTION 5. SYSTEM INSTALLATION

The following tools are recommended for installation:

Drill (Cordless preferred)

3/8" Drill Bit

1/4" NPT (National Pipe Tapered) Tap

Masonry Drill Bit & Anchors (if required)

13/16” Wrench or Channel-Lock Pliers.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

The key to a successful flow cell installation is in the plumbing. A pressure

differential is required to allow clean, untreated water to pass through the cell and

across the sensors. We recommend using the enclosed tubing and fittings to create a

pressure-suction “loop” line.

1. Turn off heater, chemical feeders, pump, and any other related equipment.

Relieve pressure from filtration system.

2. Select a convenient mounting location for the controller unit which will meet the

following criteria:

A. Facilitates a combined (influent and effluent) maximum tubing run of 30’.

B. Located a minimum of ten feet from pool or spa.

C. GFI protected power source available.

D. Easily accessible to pool or spa operator.

E. Away from corrosive materials and physical hazards.

3. Securely mount PVC Backboard on vertical wall.

4. Drill and tap a 1/4” NPT port at a location just down-stream of the filter, but up-

stream from any chemical injection point. Install a tubing connector, and run flex

tubing to the influent flow cell port.

5. Drill and tap a 1/4” NPT port at a location subject to vacuum or reduced pressure.

Install the remaining tubing connector and run flex tubing to the effluent flow cell

port.

6. Cut a 3” length of flex tubing and insert into the sample stream port.

7. Remove pH and ORP sensors from the plastic storage bottles and save bottles and

storage fluid for future use. Thread sensors into flow cell.

8. Remove BNC protective covers from left side of controller unit and store for

future use. These covers protect the controller unit from electro-static discharge

(ESD) and should be used whenever handling or transporting the controller unit.
