WARNING! Bypass hoses MUST be installed and supported in such a manner as to not kink.
Standard bypass installation is illustrated on page 11. If sufficient air flow cannot be achieved using this method, a ball valve may be purchased and
installed after the filter, (and heater if equipped), using one of the methods shown. Ball valve must always be installed before the bypass exit point.
Air flow requirements are discussed in greater detail in section 3 of this manual.
Verify pool pump is turned off.
First 2” PVC Tee should be installed after the pump but before the filter. 2” to 1-1/2” adapters are
supplied if using 1-1/2” pipe. This pipe is usually a vertical pipe coming out of the pump outlet.
Second 2” PVC Tee should be installed after the filter, (and heater if equipped).
Locate the Pre-Filter assembly and apply teflon tape to the threads of the 3/4” MNPT close nipple.
Screw this assembly into the first 2” tee, (after the pump, before the filter). Note arrow showing water
flow direction. Pre-Filter strainer should be at the bottom as shown in figure 5.
Locate the 3/4” MNPT by 3/4” MHT fitting. Apply teflon tape to the threads of the 3/4” MNPT.
Screw this fitting into the second 2” tee, (after the filter, (and heater if equipped)). See figure 6.
Connection method is the same for a new pool installation or an existing pool installation using saddle clamps.
Measure and cut a length of 3/4” hose to reach from the top of the chlorine cell, looping over the control box, to the bypass exit point.
Route this hose through the clamps on the left side of the control box, allowing approximately 22” above the box.
Install a 3/4” FHT by 3/4” Barb fitting in each end of this hose, and secure with metal hose clamps.
Connect one end to the top of the chlorine cell, and the other end to the 3/4” MHT fitting on the exit point of the bypass.
Measure and cut a length of 3/4” hose to reach from the bottom of the chlorine cell to the pre-filter.
Install a 3/4” FHT by 3/4” Barb fitting in each end of this hose, and secure with metal hose clamps.
Connect one end to the bottom of the chlorine cell, and the other end to the 3/4” MHT fitting on the pre-filter.
