5.2.1
Automatic-Flow Bypass Manifold Assembly
(models PPM1, PPM1M and PPM2, PPM2M)
The AutoPilot
®
patented manifold is connected into
the plumbing after all other equipment. Water from
the pool/spa is moved though the manifold by the
circulation pump. The manifold uses four key
components:
The
Tri-sensor
provides data (from electronic
sensors)
to the
Digital
Nano/Nano+
for
monitoring water flow, water temperature, and
salt concentration level. The Digital Nano/Nano+
uses this data to determine if conditions are
suitable for the cell to operate; the signal read
from the temperature sensor allows the
automatic temperature compensation feature to function.
The
Cell
(PPC1 or PPC2) receives power from the Digital Nano/Nano+ and converts
the salt contained in the water to chlorine.
The
Strainer Screen
prevents debris in the water from entering the Tri-sensor or cell, and
requires periodic inspection and cleaning.
The
Bypass Check Valve
allows the water flow rate to be slowed and optimized through the cell,
while permitting the pump to continue to circulate water to-and-from the pool/spa at full flow rates.
The reduced water flow through the cell results in a more efficient "Super-
Chlorination” effect,
resulting in improved overall sanitization.
5.2.2
CoPilot
®
Manifold Assembly
The CoPilot
®
system is designed to be used in
conjunction with the Digital Nano/Nano+ to reduce
chlorine demand and extend cell life. This system is also
sold separately as an upgrade to existing Digital
Nano/Nano+ systems.
The manifold is connected into the plumbing after all
other equipment. Water from the pool/spa is moved
though the manifold by the circulation pump:
The
Tri-sensor
provides data (from electronic sensors)
to the Digital Nano/Nano+ for monitoring water flow,
water temperature, and salt concentration level. The
Digital Nano/Nano+ uses this data to determine if
conditions are safe for the cell to operate; the signal
read from the temperature sensor allows the automatic temperature compensation
feature to function.
The
Cell
(PPC1 or PPC2) receives power from the Digital Nano/Nano+ and converts the salt
contained in the water to chlorine.
The
Strainer Screen
prevents debris in the water from entering the Tri-sensor or cell, and
requires periodic inspection and cleaning.
The
Bypass Check Valve
allows the water flow rate to be slowed and optimized through the cell,
while permitting the pump to continue to circulate water to-and-from the pool/spa at full flow rates.
The reduced water flow through the cell results in a more efficient "Super-
Chlorination” effect,
resulting in improved overall sanitization.
The
Ozone Venturi Injector
introduces ozone directly into the water before the Digital
Nano/Nano+ cell. The ozone venturi injector is connected to the CoPilot
®
via an Ozone Check
Valve and Tube Assembly (not shown).
