5.2.a Automatic - Flow Bypass Manifold Assembly
Models PPM1, PPM1M and PPM2, PPM2M:
The AutoPilot
®
manifold is connected into the plumbing after all other equipment. Water from the
pool / spa is moved though the manifold by the circulation pump. The manifold uses four key
components:
Figure 1
l
The Tri-sensor provides data (from electronic sensors) to the Pool Pilot
®
for monitoring water flow, water temperature, and salt concentration
level. The Pool Pilot
®
uses this data to determine if conditions are
suitable for the cell to operate; the signal read from the temperature
sensor allows the automatic temperature compensation feature to
function.
l
The Cell (PPCx) receives power from the Pool Pilot
®
and converts the
salt contained in the water to chlorine.
l
The Strainer Screen prevents debris in the water from entering the Tri-
sensor or cell, and requires periodic inspection and cleaning.
l
The Bypass Check Valve allows the water flow rate to be slowed and
optimized through the cell, while permitting the pump to continue to
circulate water to-and-from the pool / spa at full flow rates. The reduced
water flow through the cell results in a more efficient "Super-Chlorination” effect, resulting in improved
overall sanitization.
5.2.b CoPilot Manifold Assembly
The CoPilot
®
system is designed to be used in conjunction with the Pool Pilot
®
to reduce
chlorine demand and extend cell life. This system is also sold separately as an upgrade to
existing Pool Pilot
®
systems.
The manifold is connected into the plumbing after all other equipment. Water from the pool / spa
is moved though the manifold by the circulation pump:

The Tri-sensor provides data (from electronic sensors) to the Pool Pilot

for monitoring water flow, water temperature, and salt concentration level.
The Pool Pilot
®
uses this data to determine if conditions are safe for the cell
to operate; the signal read from the temperature sensor allows the
automatic temperature compensation feature to function.

The Ozone Venturi Injector introduces ozone directly into the water
before the Pool Pilot
®
cell. The ozone venturi injector is connected to the CoPilot
®
via an Ozone Check Valve and Tube Assembly (not shown).
