5.
Turn off the pump and isolate the equipment
(to prevent
drain ing the pool) by plugging all lines running from the pool
to the equipment, closing in-line valves, and/or using the
winterizing line plugs to seal off the skimmer pipe and all
return inlets. You are now ready to insert the purifier into the
pool’s lines.
6.
Disconnect the hose
on the outlet side of the filter. Connect
it to the outlet side of the purifier.
7.
Install a new section of connector hose
between the outlet
side of the filter and the inlet side of the purifier. Use the hose
clamps from the parts bag to secure the two ends of the new
hose.
NOTE
If your pool uses large diameter hose (1-1/2”) cut
off the ends of the adapter (the 1-1/4” stubs) as
marked on each adapter, so they do not block the
flow of water.
The new installation should be: Pool → Pump → Filter →
Nature
2
Purifier → Pool.
8.
Remove plugs or open all valves
used to isolate the filter.
Screw on the cap until it is snug.
Do not over tighten.
Check
that all connections are secure.
IMPORTANT Do not install the Nature2 Cartridge until the
purifier installation is complete.
9.
Turn on the pool pump
and check for and repair any leaks
you find.
10. Compare the pressure reading on the filter gauge with the
pressure reading recorded above.
If the pressure increased by:
Between 1 and 2 psi:
Pressure is good. Some increase is
necessary for water to be forced into the vessel. The vessel
installation is complete and ready for cartridge start-up.
More than 2 psi:
There is too much pressure for the
circulating pump, filter and vessel to work efficiently. The
vessel may need to be connected via partial bypass. Consult
your dealer.
Less than 1 psi:
Use the Flow Restrictor Installation.
Flow Restrictor Installation
1. Plug any lines (or close valves) to prevent pool from losing
water.
2. Disconnect hoses from vessel.
3. Remove cap and hose adapters.
4. Remove flow restrictor from the parts bag.
5. While holding the vessel with the inlet port facing up, reach in
and place restrictor (fingers facing down) into the flow control
collar (hole approximately 1” in diameter).
NOTE
You may need to reach into the outlet port side of
the unit to help position the restrictor.
6. Once the restrictor is positioned properly, place the unit on a
flat, firm surface keeping the inlet port face up.
7. Apply downward pressure on restrictor using a blunt-handled
tool such as the end of a broom handle until it snaps into
place.
8. Reinstall the vessel and recheck the system pressure.
Bypass Installation
This 38 mm (1 1/2 in.) Nature
2
Purifier system may need to be
installed in bypass to the filtration system if plumbing size is
greater than 38 mm (1 1/2 in.) diameter or if flow rates are greater
than 303 L/min (80 gpm).
The Nature
2
Purifier is installed on a bypass loop after the filter
and always before a chemical dispenser, if equipped, as shown
below.

Purifier
To Create the Bypass:
1.
Install a “T” in the return line
to allow water to divert to the
Nature
2
Purifier. This “T” is then connected to the inlet of the
purifier.
2.
Install a control valve in the return line
after the first “T”
and before the second “T”.
3.
Fully open any valves (including the control valve) that
were closed
to isolate the purifier.
4.
Start the pump
allowing water to pass through the newly
plumbed system. The control valve in the return line
between the two “T”s will controll the flow through the
purifier.
NOTE
For flows in excess of 303 L/min or 80 gpm with the
Nature
2
in bypass, do not exceed a 10.3 kPa increase in filter
backpressure. Once 10.3 kPa is reached in this situation the
flow is corrected through the purifier.
5.
Check the purifier
for leaks and fix or replace any fittings.
6.
Follow the start up procedures.
