Before Installation 

Read all Important Safety Information and note the following precautions. The DuoClear must be installed
and operated as specified. Failure to adhere to proper installation and maintenance procedures may

2.

Do not scratch or bend the electrode in the housing.

Turn power to the DuoClear off before unplugging the electrode connectors.

4.

Use only silicone grease on electrode terminals.

5.

Do not use PVC Primer or PVC Primer/Cleaner on the PVC pipes or DuoClear vessel 
during plumbing.

Do not immerse terminals in acid wash solution, and avoid accidental contact with salt water.

7.

Water above the temperature of 104˚ F must not flow through the DuoClear vessel.

8.

Water pressure in the DuoClear vessel must not exceed 45 psi.

9.

Check the electrode frequently for accumulation of pool debris or scale build-up.

10. Do not install power pack directly above any other heat source and make sure air circulates freely

around it. Mount in a shady spot, not in direct sunlight.

Plumbing the Sanitizing System

The DuoClear vessel MUST be installed level,
with ports down, as the last piece of pool
equipment on the return line.

The inlet and outlet ports are labeled.
The Nature2 cartridge is located on the
inlet side, the chlorinating electrode is on
the outlet side.

There are no height restrictions or
requirements.

Install vessel close to the power pack 
to accommodate the output cable.
A 12' extension cable is available.

The ports are 2" slip ports. PVC reducing
bushings may be used to reduce the port
size. ImportantDo not use PVC Primer
or PVC Primer/Cleaner on the PVC 
pipes or DuoClear vessel.
