Flow Determination
Generally, domestic swimming pool require a combined flow rate of 6.0 –
10.0m
3
h and typically have between one to three return inlets. However, there
is no one way to build and design a swimming pool – differences in pipe runs,
the number of inlets, pumps sizes, etc. We have therefore taken this into
consideration when designing FlowBright. FlowBright operates on the same
6.0 – 10.0m
3
h of flow, and if installed correctly should have no, to very little,
effect on the back pressure and flow of your filtration system. However, again,
as no two pools are alike you may need to configure your FlowBright and/or
filter return inlet configuration to achieve the best performance.
If your flow is below 6.0m
3
h, you have insufficient flow and will subsequently
need to alter your pool filter return inlet configuration to make your
FlowBright function – information about how to do this is below. If you have
flow above 7.0m
3
h then you have an excess of flow and you should use the
gate arrangements on your FlowBright. Again, the information about how to
do this is below.
A low flow battery assisted FlowBright will be available soon, designed
specifically for very low flow rates, usable when no flow is available. Suitable
for variable speed pumps.
Insufficient Flow
When multiple inlets have been adopted in your pool construction the flow to
your installation inlet may be too low for FlowBright to function optimally. It
may be necessary to reduce the flow at the other inlets, which will
subsequently increase the flow at your designated installation inlet. This can
be done by restricting the flow through the other inlets. We recommend three
ways of doing this.
If your return lines are on separate pipe runs away from the plant room.
1.
Reduce the flow to the undesignated inlet by valve manipulation.
If your inlets are piped in a manifold configuration, creating a common feed
from the plant room.
