Plumbing Chemcheck - Pentair ChemCheck Installation And Service Manual

Plumbing ChemCheck

A licensed plumber should perform all plumbing installation, as they will be familiar with all local, state and national codes.
Pentair recommends plumbing ChemCheck in one of two ways, dependent on whether a heater is part of the filtration loop.
The two plumbing schemes described below (and shown in Figure 2A and Figure 2B) will provide optimal performance
and less frequent maintenance.
If these two plumbing schemes are not possible, the IN and OUT lines may be installed on opposite sides of the filter; IN
tubing positioned before the filter and OUT tubing positioned after the filter. This is NOT A PREFERRED INSTALLATION
and allows unfiltered water to enter ChemCheck. This will lead to more frequent maintenance and less accurate readings.
REQUIRED TOOLS:
• Electric Drill
• 3/8" Drill Bit
• Flat-head Screwdriver
• Utility Knife or Tubing Cutter
TO PLUMB CHEMCHECK:
1. Ensure all power to the filtration pump is turned OFF at the circuit breaker. This will prevent unexpected start-ups
during installation.
2. Relieve all pressure from the filtration system at the filter air relief valve.
Failure to relieve all pressure from the filtration system before installing this equipment may result in serious injury.
3. Close all system valves to prevent
flooding.
4. If the plumbing contains a heater:
Route IN tubing to a point between the
filter and heater (Figure 2A) and mark it.
If the plumbing does not contain a
heater: Route IN tubing to a point after
the filter and mark it. To produce the
required pressure differential a valve
must be installed after the IN tubing.
See Figure 2B.
5. If the plumbing contains a heater:
Route OUT tubing to a point after the
heater (Figure 2A) and mark it.
If the plumbing does not contain a
heater: Route OUT tubing to a point
after the newly installed valve (Figure
2B) and mark it.
6. Before preparing plumbing or cutting
tubing, verify the provided 20 ft. (6 m) of
tubing can reach both marked positions
in the plumbing.
7. Ensure the tubing is not pinched
or kinked and cut the tubing to the
necessary lengths and as cleanly as
possible.
8. Remove all fittings, gaskets, nuts and
band clamps from the bag labeled
"Installation Kit". Verify all Installation Kit
contents listed in Packaged Contents, page 1.
