Setup of Stenner pump and tank
Refer to the included Stenner manual for specific information on installing, securing
and use of the pump and tank.
Install the Feed Tube and Injector assembly into the return
pipe
1. Drill 7/16" hole on the UNDERSIDE of the pool's return pipe AFTER the electro-
lytic cell and flow switch.
Be sure there is at least 10" of clearance under the pipe before drilling. Clear out any
PVC shavings and make sure there are no sharp edges within the hole.
OPTIONAL: The injector assembly (saddle fitting, check valve, short length of feed
tube, and flow indicator) should be installed on the underside of the plumbing to
ensure that the flow indicator maintains a vertical orientation. If there is not enough
space underneath the plumbing, the assembly may be mounted on the top or side of
the plumbing as long as the flow indicator is in a position that has enough feed tube
length to allow it to be oriented vertically when flow reading is required.
2. Connect the Flow Indicator to the Injector
NOTE: Two injector valves are included with the AQL-CHEM-3. Discard the shorter
injector as it does not included a flow-check system and must not be used. The
correct injector has a flow direction indicator as shown in the diagram below.
Cut a 2" piece of 1/4" tubing to connect the injector to the flow indicator. With the
fittings loose, insert the tubing firmly into each component and handtighten fittings
until tubing is secure. Note that the flow Indicator and the injector are directional and
must be assembled in the proper orientation according to the diagram below.

3. Fasten the Injector assembly to the return pipe and install the Feed Tube
Fasten the injector assembly to the return pipe by pushing the injector fitting into the
7/16" hole. Tighten the hose clamp until the assembly is snug against the return pipe.
Do not overtighten.
Cut the 20' feed tube to the desired length. Connect one end of the feed tube to the
injector assembly by firmly pushing it into the flow indicator and handtightening the
fitting. Connect the other end of the feed tube to the output side of the Stenner pump
as shown below.
Fill the tank
Fill the tank with acid based on the guidelines provided in this manual and the Stenner
manual.
Use a diluted mixture of 4 parts water to 1 part Muriatic acid (20º Baume hydrochloric
acid 31.45% by weight). Always add acid to water, and do so slowly. Fill the 15 gallon
tank to the following levels:
•
5 gallons of 4:1 solution for pools up to 15,000 gallons of water
•
10 gallons of 4:1 solution for pools up to 30,000 gallons of water
•
15 gallons of 4:1 solution for pool above 30,000 gallons of water
Connect the AQL-CHEM-3 to the Aqua Rite Pro or Pro
Logic control
Plug the Stenner pump's linecord into the pH Dispense pigtail of the Aqua Rite Pro or
Pro Logic. This pigtail is provided with the AQL-CHEM. If the pigtail isn't already
installed, refer to the AQL-CHEM product manual for installation instructions.
Program the Aqua Rite Pro or Pro Logic
The pool control must now be programmed to operate the AQL-CHEM-3. Refer to the
Aqua Rite Pro or Pro Logic operation manual for specific programming instructions.
