FIRST, MOUNT THE FLOW CELL TEE

1.) Locate a space for the electrode flow cell tee (the 2" slip/slip/threaded tee). The tee should be installed after the pump and either 
before or after the filter. After the filter is preferred, but it will work fine if installed before the filter. 

NEVER INSTALL THE TEE 

NEXT TO THE POOL'S HEATER

2.) Turn off the pump and close all valves. Disconnect all sources of power going to the timer or pump. 

3.) Using a hacksaw or backsaw, cut a 4-inch gap in the section of pipe if 1 1/2" pipe exists, or cut out a 3" gap if a 2-inch pipe exists. 

4.) Sand the burrs off the pipe. Dry the pipe and clean the ends with PVC primer/cleaner. 

5.) If 1 1/2" pipe exists, cement the 2" to 1·1/2" reducer bushings into the tee (included with· the unit). 

6.) The tee should be mounted on the return line after the pump and 

mounted slightly downward so that no air-pocket can form in 

the electrode chamber (below a horizontal position). THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.

 If there is not enough "give" to 

allow insertion of the tee, install unions. 

7.) Screw the electrodes into the tee. Generously wrap teflon tape around the threaded part of the electrode assembly several times 
before installing to prevent leaks. 

MAKE SURE THERE IS ENOUGH ELECTRODE WIRE COMING FROM THE CONTROL BOX LOCATION TO REACH THE 
ELECTRODES WHEN INSTALLED ON THE RETURN LINE. 

INSTALLING THE CONTROL BOX

1.) Before installing the control box, you must determine the voltage at the installation site. By using your voltage meter, determine if 
the voltage is 110VAC or 220VAC. 

ALL UNITS ARE FACTORY SET AT 220 VAC. IF THE INSTALLATION CALLS FOR A 110 VAC SETTING, YOU WILL 
NEED TO MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE UNIT.

CHANGING VOLTAGE FROM 220 VAC TO 110 VAC 

a.) Open up the clear control box panel. 
b.) Unscrew the four (4) screws holding the faceplate assembly in place. 
c.) Lift the unit out of the enclosure and turn over. Do not disconnect any wires! 
d.) Locate switch on circuit board (between fuse and transformer) where 220V - 110V wording is located. (see page 10)
e.) Slide switch from 220VAC to 110VAC. 
f.) Place the faceplate assembly back in its place.
g.) Retighten four (4) screws to hold in place. 

FAILURE TO SET UNIT ON PROPER VOLTAGE CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS:

If the actual voltage was 220VAC, and the unit was set on 110, the internal fuse will blow. 
If the actual voltage was 110VAC, and the unit was set on 220, the unit will not work at 100% efficiency. 

2.) Mount the brackets to the back of the control box. Use enclosed screws. 

3.) Mount the control box to the wall allowing for the power cable wire to reach the source of power and the electrode wire to reach 
the electrode chamber. Use proper anchors and screws to mount. 

4.) Make sure the surface is flat, firm, and as close to the power source as possible.

5.) Connect the two-conductor gray wire coming from the purifier to the electrodes two terminals. It does not matter which wire is 
connected to the terminals.

CHOOSING THE POWER SOURCE 

When locating the power source, the unit should turn on and off when the pump and motor does. The best location is the pool's timer 
box. If no timer box exists, you can use the pump motor as its power source by removing the back plate.
