• Installing more cells will impact the warranty
• Cells should be installed in parallel ONLY
See diagram on page 31 of this manual for dual cell layout.
Installing the ‘CELL HOUSING’
Once the correct location for the ‘Cell’ has been est ablished, the ‘Cell Housing’ must be installed into
the plumbing at that sele cted location. The clear pl astic ‘Cell Housing’ is PVC compatible, so use
ordinary PVC solvent (glue) to attach the ‘Cell Housing’ to the plumbing.
Remove the ‘Cell’ from the
‘Cell Housing’ before attempting to install the ‘Cell Housing’.
IMPORTANT The ‘Cell Housing’ must be installed as follows:
* ‘Cell Housing’ must be installed in a HORIZONTAL position.
* Water flow should be in the di rection indicated by the ARROW on the clear plastic ‘Cell Housing’
(in the direction flowing away from the ‘Cell’ head).
* The Inlet and outlet pipes must be pointing vertically DOWN, to form an inverted ‘U’ c onfiguration
with the ‘Cell Housing’.
* The vertical inlet and outlet PVC piping must be a minimum of 15cm (6”) in length (refer Sketches
3a, 3b)
* The ‘Cell Housing’ s hall be free standing and not secured to any rigid backing surface (such as a
wall).
* Installation should allow easy removal of the cell from the housing.
* Saltline USA recommends using uni ons on each of the legs of the cell so that the cell hous ing
can be replaced if required.
Water Flow: In most cases for 5cm (2”) PVC the tota l water flow c an be directed through the ‘Cell
Housing’ (as shown in Sketch 3a) without significantly affecting the flow rate and/or back-pressure on
the filter etc. However , if flow rate is a conc ern (high horse-power pump, la rge diameter piping etc),
the ‘Cell’ can be installed on a by- pass (as shown in Sketch 3b). Note the need for a valve to ensure
a correct flow of water through the by-pass.
