1.
To prevent growth at the inlet of the ElectroStrainer basket, a chlorinated return line should be
connected from the pressure side of the pump to the Canister Assembly’s 90-degree fitting
located under the inlet port.
2.
Connect this chlorinated return line with a
tee-fitting and ball valve to the pressure side of the
pump. Note:
The source for the chlorinated return line must be after the seawater pump
(on the pressure side) and after the ClearVis Flow Sensor
.
3.
Connect the chlorinated return line tubing suppled with the Canister Assembly to the 90-degree
hose barb fitting directly under the inlet port. Secure the tubing with two hose clamps, reversing
directions, and clamp securely.
4.
Secure the chlorinated return line tubing with Strain Relief Clamp. The Strain Relief Clamp can be
connected to the feet if using the base mount or bottom wall bracket as shown.

ElectroStrainer can be installed without a
chlorinated return line. The chlorinated return line provides the
greatest protection from biofouling in the strainer basket. IF THE
CHLORINATED RETURN LINE WILL NOT BE USED, THEN USE ONLY THE
SPECIAL 2205 ALLOY PLUG PROVIDED. DO NOT USE ANOTHER TYPE OF
METAL PLUG. This will void the Warranty. Note: there may be a small
amount of biogrowth in the strainer basket if the chlorinated return
line is not used.
The chlorinated return line decreases the overall
flow rate to downstream equipment. Check downstream equipment
flow requirements and DO NOT add a chlorinated return line if this
will result in low flow to cooling equipment.
