IMPORTANT: Ensure that the pool pump and all electrical power are
turned off before installation.
TIP: Confirm installation layout and measurements first before cutting
and gluing! Double-check that Cell and Flow Switch cables can reach the
Control Panel (approximately 14’).
Installing the Electrolytic Cell and Flow Switch
The Cell and Flow Switch are to be fitted into the return line as the last
pieces 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 there is enough pipe space available.
When positioning the Flow Switch, ensure at least 6 to 12” (30cm) of
straight pipe before the Flow Switch. If installed after the Electrolytic
Cell, the Cell provides this space. The raised arrow on the black plastic
hex-top must be pointed with the direction of water flow as it returns
to the pool. If installed horizontally, ensure that the wire-side faces
upwards. The Flow Switch is approximately 4" in length; the typical
plumbing gap required is 1 ¼".
When positioning the Cell, you can consider the side of the cell with
the cord the "inlet" side. If installed horizontally, ensure that the wire-
side faces upwards. From end to end, the Cell with both Unions is
approximately 15 ¾" in length; the typical plumbing gap required is 13
¼".
Refer to the overview diagram on page 16 for alternate configurations.
For combined pool and spa systems with a spillover, configurations #2
or #3 allow chlorination for both the pool and spa during spillover but
preventing possible over-chlorination when operating the spa only.
Vertical Installation Kits are also available to minimize plumbing space
required and increase ease of installation (sold separately, available at
www.circupool.com).
TIP: When gluing PVC, parts will slip in place easier once glue is applied.
Be sure to apply firm, constant pressure between both glued parts for
up to a minute to prevent potential slippage.
