1.
The Canister Assembly has directional IN and OUT labels. Seawater MUST enter at the IN port
and flow through and exit at the OUT port.
Failure to route seawater in the direction of the IN and OUT labels
will result in improper operation of the ElectroStrainer System.
2.
The ClearVis Flow Sensor has a flow direction arrow and seawater must enter and exit
according to the marked arrow. ClearVis Flow Sensor MUST BE installed on the same
seawater line/pipe as the ElectroStrainer Canister. The Flow Sensor tells ElectroStrainer
how much chlorine to generate. DO NOT install the Flow Sensor on a separate or ancillary
seawater line/pipe from ElectroStrainer.
The Flow Sensor is made of glass filled nylon for superior strength.
However, this makes the threads less malleable and rougher than other plastics. When
sealing to the Flow Sensor, it is recommended that thread sealant, without PTFE, is used.
The ClearVis Flow Sensor measures the velocity of seawater using
speed of sound technology. It is preferable to have 12” (30.5cm) of straight hose before and
after the ClearVis Flow Sensor. This decreases seawater turbulence and improves the speed,
accuracy and precision of the ClearVis Flow Sensor measurement.
DO NOT place a 90° elbow or other flow restrict plumbing fittings
immediately after the ClearVis Flow Sensor output.
The Flow Sensor will
be unable to obtain a consistent reading and Control Unit may be unable to enter the
CLEANING mode. The flow sensor can be placed either upstream (suction side) or
downstream (pressure side) of the seawater pump that ElectroStrainer resides on.
