1.4.a Plumbing Requirements
NOTICE
Failure to heed the following may result in damage to equipment.
l
Do not use glue on the threaded portion of the equipment’s unions. A glued-in-place union will prevent the
equipment from being properly winterized.
l
The chiller must receive water flow within the specified minimum ranges under worst-case conditions such as a
fouled water filter.
l
Failure to provide clean filtered water to the chiller can void product warranty.
l
Water flow exceeding maximum flow rates will negatively affect the total pool filtration performance and may
damage the chiller. This will not be covered under equipment warranty.
See "Water Flow Rates" on page 9.
l
Install a bypass valve whenever water-flow may exceed maximum rating.
l
See "Bypass Valve Kit (# STK0135)" on page 26.
