INSTALLATION
Installation must be performed in accordance with Local NEC codes.
Preparing Pool Water:
The pool’s chemistry must be balanced BEFORE activating the SPS. It is recommended that you consult a
pool professional for the initial balancing each season. NOTE: At the beginning of each season, add metal
remover and polymer based (non copper) algaecide to the pool, per manufacturer’s instructions. This ensures
a quick, trouble free transfer to the SPS system.
Mounting the SPS Control
The SPS is contained in a rain tight enclosure that is suitable for outdoor mounting. The control must be
mounted a minimum of 5 ft. (2 meters) horizontal distance (or more if local codes require) from the pool/spa.
The control is designed to mount vertically on a flat surface with the knockouts facing downward. Because
the enclosure also acts as a heat sink (disperses heat from inside the box), it is important not to block the four
sides of the control. Do not mount the SPS in a panel or tightly enclosed space.
Plumbing
Ensure that the SPS installation does not constitute a cross connection with the local potable water supply.
Consult local plumbing codes. The cell and flow switch are plumbed in the return line to the pool. Install
after (downstream) all the pool equipment (filter, heater, solar, etc.). The kit included in the SPS provides the
necessary plumbing components for:
2” (51mm) rigid PVC piping installation for in ground pools
1 1/2-1 1/4〞(38-32mm) flexible hose connections for above ground pools
For proper plumbing, refer to the overview diagram below

IMPORTANT:
To insure proper operation, verify that the arrow on the flow switch (located on the side) points
in the same direction of water flow.
