Installation Instructions for Pools
The ClearBlue Ionizer system install requires three components that are included in the kit. You will also
need a hacksaw or reciprocating saw, PVC primer and PVC glue that are not included.
System Controller
Clear PVC Tee
Mineral Cell
Install the Tee
The tee is installed by gluing it into your pool PVC plumbing. The ideal spot for it is on the return line,
after the pump, filter, and heater (if applicable). If you have a salt or inline chlorinator installed, the tee
should go
before
the chlorinator. If you do not have space on the return line for the tee, it can go
anywhere in the plumbing that it fits.
The tee should be oriented such that it looks like a capital T if possible. If it is not possible to install
in this manner, it can be installed in any orientation other than an ‘upside down’ capital T.
Cut plumbing and glue in the tee
1)
Turn off the pool pump and let the water drain out of the pipe
2)
Cut a 2.5
”
(63mm) section out of the PVC plumbing using a hacksaw or reciprocating saw
3)
Remove any dust and burrs from the pipe
4)
Apply PVC primer and glue both to the outside of the pipe and the inside of the tee
5)
Slide the tee over the pipe on one side as far as it will go and then other side
6)
For each glue joint, hold the tee in place for 30 seconds
7)
Let the glue dry for 2 hours before turning on the pump
