Plumbing
Ensure that the AquaRite S3 installation does not constitute a cross connection with the local potable
water supply. Consult local plumbing codes.
The AquaRite S3 is packaged with a TurboCell, flow switch and cell unions.
The flow switch and cell should be plumbed in the return line to the pool/spa. The preferred instal-
lation is after (downstream) all the pool equipment (filter, heater, solar, etc.). The electrolytic cell and
flow switch tee fitting are designed to be plumbed into 2” (51mm) PVC pipe. Adapters (not included)
can be used for systems with 1½” (38 mm) plumbing.
For proper plumbing, refer to the overview diagram on page 6. Alternate configuration #1 shows the
flow switch can also be in front of the cell. Configurations #2 and #3 allow for chlorination of both
the pool and spa during spa spillover operation, but prevent overchlorination of the spa during “spa
only” operation. Never use configuration #4.
Flow Switch:
IMPORTANT: There must be at least a 12” (25cm) straight pipe run before
(upstream) the flow switch. If the switch is plumbed after the cell, the cell can
by counted as the 12” (25cm) of straight pipe. To ensure proper operation,
verify that the arrow on the flow switch (located on top of gray hex) points in
the direction of water flow.
Electrolytic Cell:
Install using the unions provided. Tighten unions BY HAND for a watertight
seal. For pool/spa combination systems with spillover, use configurations #2
or #3 above to allow chlorination of both the pool and spa during spillover but
preventing overchlorination when operating the spa only.
