Plumbing The Flow Cell - Pentair intellichem Installation And User Manual

Plumbing the Flow Cell

To connect the Flow Cell to the system plumbing: See page 37 for plumbing diagram.
1. At the equipment pad, switch off the filter pump and release the pressure
from the system by opening the valve on top of the filter.
2. Close all valves to prevent flooding.
3. Attach the IN and OUT tubes to the Flow Cell Inlet and Outlet
(see Tubing Installation Diagram shown below).
4. Run the end of the IN tube to the chosen pressure line. Choose a location
that provides enough space to drill and to tighten the clamp (must be after
the filter, but before the heater). Be sure the tube is not pinched or kinked.
Mark a spot on the pipe.
5. Locate where the water will be supplied from and returned for each flow
cell. The most common location for the water inlet to the flow cell is
AFTER the main filter and BEFORE the heater. See page 37.
6. Drill a 3/8" hole for the flexible tubing fitting on the mark and immediately
place the fitting into the pipe. Align pipe clamp with the fitting and tighten
the pipe clamp.
7. Run the end of the OUT tube (with the pipe clamp) to the chosen return
line. Choose a location that provides enough space to drill and to tighten
the clamp (must be after the heater - see page 37). Be sure the tube is
not pinched or kinked. Mark a spot on the return line pipe.
8. Drill a 3/8" hole for the flexible tubing fitting on the mark and immediately
place the fitting into the pipe. Align pipe clamp with the fitting and tighten
the pipe clamp.
9. Open any closed system valves. Close the filter valve and turn on the
circulation system. Check that the system is working properly.

Be sure to have a licensed plumber perform all plumbing;
this is important, as they will be familiar with all of the
codes in the local area.
WARNING CHEMICAL BURN HAZARD: Make sure all pumps are
switched off at the main circuit breakers at the house before drilling
into any pipes. Securely fasten all electrical, water and chemical
lines. Locate chemical feed pumps and chemical storage tanks in a
safe and secure area.
