INSTALLING THE IONIZING AND OXIDIZING PODS
MAKING THE JOINER WHEN INSTALLING PODS END-TO-END
Installation of the Spa Star Pods is very flexible,
«
and can be tailored to suit the limited space and
pipe lengths often associated with Spas.
There are several main considerations to take into
account before starting the installation :
!
Do you have 40mm (1 ⁄ ") or 50mm (2") pipe ?
For your reference, the diameter of 40mm
(1 ⁄ ")pipe is 48mm and the diameter of 50mm
(2") pipe is 60mm.
!
If you do have 50mm (2") pipe, did you purchase
the Spa Star with small Pods to suit 40mm (1 ⁄ ")
«
pipe, or with large pods to suit 50mm (2") pipe ?
Check these drawings to determine which Pods
you have :
Small Pod
Large Pod
!
If you are installing Small Pods onto 50mm (2")
pipe, then you must use 50x40 (2"x1 ⁄ ")
adaptors. These can be supplied by Bionizer, with
a 60mm length of 40mm (1 ⁄ ") pipe pre-glued
into them.

!
Will both Pods be fitted end-to-end on one
straight section of pipe, or will they be installed
onto two separate sections of pipe ?
If the two Pods can be fitted end-to-end, then
make up a joiner as per the instructions below.
Making this in advance will make installation
quicker and easier.
To install Small Pods end-to-end onto 40mm (1 ⁄ ")
pipe, requires 360mm (14") of straight pipe.
To install Small Pods end-to-end onto 50mm (2")
pipe (with adaptors), requires 530mm (21") of
straight pipe.
To install Large Pods end-to-end onto 50mm (2")
pipe requires 480mm (19") of straight pipe.

INSTALLATION
TM
1. Using the 60mm (2 ⁄ ") length piece of pipe and
two of the barrel unions supplied with the
Spa Star kit, make up a joiner for connecting
«
the two Pods end-to-end.
(a) Glue one flange to the pipe.
(b) Fit two barrel union nuts over the pipe, so
that the threads are both facing OUTSIDE.
(c) Glue the second flange to the pipe.
ALWAYS USE PVC PRIMER ON BOTH SURFACES BEFORE GLUEING ANY PVC PARTS.
