Plumbing
Ozone and air is drawn into the water by the pump’s suction. It is mixed into the water by the pump’s
impeller. Ozone is then driven into the water by the pressure in the pipe between the pump and the
filter. The filter acts as an Ozone reaction-vessel. The air, with a very small amount of active Ozone,
is taken off the top of the filter sent to the pool through the returns. The ‘Champagne bubbles’ you
see returning in the pool are air and not hazardous to the environment or the pool equipment.
There are two ways your Inground UltraPure
™
Automatic Water Cleaner
™
can be plumbed into your
system. Please choose which method would be most appropriate for your pool. See Retrofit instal-
lation for Above ground pools.
BUILDER STANDPIPE INSTALLATION – INGROUND
When the pool is being built or during renovation work, it can be made (Ozone) ready. With this
installation, a 3/4” suction side standpipe runs from below water level on a suction line, back to a
convenient location on the equipment pad. This will stop air from entering the pump. The 3/4” line
originates from below water level and there is no possibility to lose prime because there is a water
lock below grade.
“Tee in“ a 3/4” standpipe from (one of) the suction line(s) below water level and run it to a pro-
tected location behind the filter on the equipment pad. Cap the standpipe for pressure testing the
plumbing. When you are ready to install the UltraPure
™
Automatic Water Cleaner
™
, cut the cap
from the 3/4” standpipe and glue on our 3/4” FSL x 1/4” FPT reducing coupling. Apply Teflon tape
and screw in the 1/4” MPT x 3/8” straight compression fitting into the reducing coupling. The 1 1/2
lb. compression check valve is not required and should NOT be used with the method. Connect the
3/8” black tubing to the straight compression fitting and run the tubing back to the UltraPure
™
Automatic Water Cleaner
™
.
RETROFIT INSTALLATION – INGROUND AND ABOVE GROUND
Apply Teflon tape and screw the 1 1/2 lb. Compression Check Valve or 1/2 lb. Compression Check
Valve for above ground units into the bottom drain plug hole of the strainer basket portion of the
pump. The straight compression fitting and reducing coupling are not required for this method.
Connect the black 3/8” tubing to the 1 1/2 lb. or 1/2 lb. compression check valve and run the tub-
ing back to the UltraPure
™
Automatic Water Cleaner
™
.
Note:
On inground pools, the possibility exists that air can enter the pump and water line through
the UltraPure
™
Automatic Water Cleaner
™
. Ensure that the 1 1/2 lb. Compression Check
Valve is not allowing air to bubble back into the pump basket when the pump is turned off.
If the check valve allows air to bubble back into the pump basket, call UltraPure Water Quality
Inc. at 877 281 7603.
