Roughen the inside of the ports on the vessel with the
emory cloth provided.

Cut pipe as square as possible. Remove the electrode
from the vessel before gluing to pipe. Any standard
PVC cement may be used. Allow adequate drying 
time before pressurizing system.

When plumbing the DuoClear, do not install a valve on the discharge side of the sanitizing system.

If a valve is required, due to a flooded plumbing situation, use a one-way check valve on the outlet side.

The maximum flow rate for the DuoClear is 80 GPM. If flow exceeds this, the unit must be plumbed on 
by-pass. Install a control valve on the inlet side, or between the inlet and discharge side of the vessel, and
use the valve to adjust flow. Proper flow is achieved when the red NO FLOW light goes out.

The DuoClear is available in three different sizes to sanitize pools up to 45,000 gallons. If conditions
require multiple installations, plumb the units in parallel, providing equal flow to each unit.

Installing the Power Pack

Use the anchors provided to mount the bracket onto the wall. Hang the power pack on the bracket. If the
power pack will be mounted on a post, a waterproof backing of at least 14" wide X 13" high must be used.

Install power pack a minimum of 10 feet (3 m) from the inside wall of the pool. Refer to local building
codes for requirements.

Do not enclose the power pack in any box.

Do not install it above any heat source.

The power pack is 220-240 VAC ONLY. Wire it to the LOAD side of a pool timer, or the pump
circuit of the controller, so that when the pool pump comes on the DuoClear comes on.

Attach the green ground wire to the grounding screw or grounding bar to inhibit electrical shock.

Ensure the electrode cap is firmly pressed onto the electrode connectors.
