Installing the Electrolytic Cell
The Cell is to be fitted into the return line as the last piece of equipment the water passes through before returning to
the pool: always after the pump, filter, heater (if applicable), etc. If a heater is present, all equipment must be a
minimum distance away, per heater manufacturer recommendations.
Lay out your equipment to ensure adequate pipe space, and that the Cell cable (approximately 10’) can reach back to
where the Control Panel will be installed.
The Cell should be positioned 6” above the highest plumbing point (includes filter ports or height of heater, if present),
installed in the return line using two 90° elbows (not included) and two straight pieces of PVC pipe as risers (not
included). The Cell must be installed horizontally with ports facing down. When positioning the Cell, the inlet side of the
Cell Housing is imprinted with an arrow pointing up.
1) After determining the section of plumbing to install the Cell, measure out and mark the selected area. Cut a gap in
the plumbing, so that you will be able to glue two 90° elbows on either side of the gap with a center-to-center
distance of 5 ½". Using standard 2” elbows, usually this gap is approximately 8 ⅛”.
2) Glue each 90° elbow to the end of each pipe stub on either side of the cut gap; ensure correct center-to-center
distance. TIP: dry-fit riser pieces into Housing, and use the ends of the risers as a guide to align 90° elbows.
3) Glue each riser into top of 90° elbows.
4) Glue Cell Housing down onto risers, ensuring that Cell is level.
5) Ensure that the O-Ring is seated into the receiving channel in the Cell Housing. Slide the Cell into the Cell Housing,
making sure to carefully align the raised key on the plastic head of the Cell with the matching slot in the clear Cell
Housing. For a watertight seal, slide the Cell Cap into place and only tighten by hand- do not use tools or over-
tighten, do not use lubricants on O-Ring
