Pool Installation

​

UltraPure™ Automatic Water Cleaners™ are best mounted horizontally, with the label oriented correctly. Our units are designed for use under suction only. Each unit comes equipped with a Dial Flowmeter Suction Side Parts Package (DFSSPP) for installation.

External Safety Air Bleed Kit (ESABK) (Available separately) is recommended for pools with solar heating and/or in-floor cleaning. This kit allows air drawn in on the suction side of the pump to be taken off the top of the filter and injected into the water return line at a desired point. This kit is necessary when: the filter is old and does not have an internal bleed; there is a solar system on the pool; there is a pressure side cleaner; or with a booster pump.

There are two ways that your UltraPure™ Automatic Water Cleaner™ can be plumbed into your system:

 

Retrofit Installation into the Strainer Basket Drain Plug (Hair and Lint Trap):

​

Remove the drain plug and screw in (hand tighten) our 1 1/2 lb. Compression Check Valve; apply Teflon tape on the check valve for a secure fit. The straight compression fitting and reducing coupling is not required for this method. Connect the 3/8” OD PVC tubing to the compression check valve and run the tubing back to the Dial Flowmeter on your UltraPure™ Automatic Water Cleaner™.

​

Builder Standpipe Installation (Pre-installed ¾” Pipe):

​

While the pool is being built or during renovation work, it can be made (Ozone) ready. With this installation, a suction side standpipe runs from below water level on a suction line, back to a convenient location on the equipment pad. This will stop the pump from draining down when shut off. Since the ¾” line originates from below water level, there is no possibility of losing prime because there is a water lock below grade. The 1 1/2 lb. Compression Check Valve is NOT required and should NOT be used with this method.

Setting The Ozone Draw:

​

Using the Dial Flowmeter, the airflow is set by simply adjusting the dial on the gauge until the float is between 1/3 to 1/2 way to the top. Make sure that the Dial Flowmeter is in a straight vertical position. Turn the dial all the way to the right (clockwise) to close it. The flow can be set and re-adjusted with ease. No special parts, tools or procedures are required.

​

A small amount of condensation may become apparent inside the Dial Flowmeter. This may cause the ball to temporally stick in the flowmeter. This is normal and does not indicate any malfunction of the flowmeter. To verify an Ozone draw, you can visually check the pump basket or pool returns for air bubbles.
