Electronic Water Leveller

07

INSTALLATION PROCESS AND CONSIDERATIONS:

•  The sensor requires a 50mm class 9 or class 12 PVC pipe to be installed as a balance line 

from the project’s wall to the pump and filter area.  

ALWAYS USE 50MM PIPE FOR THE 

SENSOR HOUSING TO ENABLE ADEQUATE FLOW AROUND THE SENSOR AND 

FUTURE SERVICABILITY.

• 

THIS PIPE MUST BE PLACED AT LEAST 300MM BELOW WATER LEVEL

 and can be 

dressed with a push-in eyeball to match the project’s other wall fittings.

•  The pipe is usually run along the suction and return trench and elbowed up within the 

equipment area.  

THIS PIPE MUST BE LEVEL TO AVOID AIR LOCKS

 which will affect 

flow and performance.

•  A 50mm cap is provided to cover the sensor pipe housing and protect the Sensor  

from dust, debris, pests and foreign materials.  The cap fits neatly onto the 50mm  

sensor pipe housing. 

• 

DO NOT GLUE THE CAP TO THE SENSOR HOUSING PIPE.

•  If the Sensor is to be located away from the equipment area, 

ALWAYS RUN THE LEAD 

THROUGH ADEQUATELY SIZED CONDUIT THAT WILL ENABLE THE COMPLETE 

SENSOR TO BE REPLACED AT A LATER DATE.

 

• 

NEVER CUT EXCESS SENSOR CABLE.

  Roll excess cable and bind together with the 

Velcro straps provided.

NOTE 

:

 Sensor and Solenoid 

plugs must face backwards when 

 inserted into the new Water 

Witch Control Box.
