INSTALLATION
Plumbing the Manifold Assembly
Step 1: Select the location for installing the manifold:
The manifold is designed for a flow rate of 20 to 100 gpm (76 to 379 L/m).
•It is recommended that the manifold be installed prior to installation of the control unit. The Control Unit will need to be installed close enough to the Manifold Assembly so that the
•The manifold/cell should be installed in a vertical orientation as illustrated in the picture below. This orientation prevents hazardous gas buildup in the system if the flow switch should fail to detect insufficient flow.
•The direction of the water flow through the manifold must be as indicated for the system to work properly.
•For a Pool/Spa combination, the manifold must be located as the last component in the POOL RETURN LINE to avoid over- sanitization of the SPA.
For flow rates within the normal range:
•The manifold can be directly plumbed into the system as shown in the diagram to the right.
•If the flow rate for the system is less than 20 gpm (76 L/m),
a larger pump must be installed.
Note: Ensure that flow rates for a two-
speed pump can provide sufficient flow at low speed.
For flow rates greater than 100 gpm (379 L/m):
• A 5 lb spring bypass check valve must be plumbed in parallel with the manifold as shown in the diagram to the right.

Step 2: Install the cell into the manifold with the cell cable terminals at the bottom of the manifold as illustrated in the picture. Tighten the unions by hand for a watertight seal. The manifold will accept the
