Page 5: General Information
Carefully select the Clear installation location based on the requirements specified in this section. Locate the Clear as close to the waterbody as possible in a 5 ft x 5 ft (1.5 m x 1.5 m) open area of level ground. Use the guidelines shown in Figures 1 and 2 to locate the intake structure. - Page 6 Tables 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Tables are divided by pump type, if applicable. Failure to install the Clear within the limits specified in Tables 1, 2 and 3 may void the system warranty and result in poor nanobubble production and pump cavitation.

Page 7: Parts And Accessories
All parts necessary to assemble up to 40 linear feet (12 linear meters), each, of suction and discharge piping are provided with purchase of a Clear Installation Kit. The actual length of pipe required will vary by installation. Additional pipe lengths may be purchased with the Clear in 10-foot (3-meter) increments. -
Page 8: Installation Guidelines
The installation diagrams for the Clear are shown in Figures 3 and 4. Using a shovel, dig a hole approximately 5 ft (1.5 m) Long (L) x 5 ft (1.5 m) Wide (W) x 1 ft (0.3 m) Deep (D). The Clear will be installed with the pressure gauges facing away from the waterbody. - Page 9 Refer to the pipe connections extending from the base of the Clear that are shown in Figure 3. Using PVC primer and cement, glue elbows to the first straight, horizontal pipe segments of suction and discharge piping and lay these pipe segments in the pipe trench with the elbows facing up.

Figures 1, 2, and 6, and in the Appendix. Use available fittings as necessary to route the suction piping from the Clear to the waterbody. Do not remove the bell end of the PVC pipe. The bell end can be used as a coupling for connecting straight pipe segments. -
Page 11: Discharge Piping Installation
Locate and install the discharge pipe following the recommendations detailed in Figures 1 and 2. Use available fittings as necessary to route the discharge piping from the Clear to the waterbody. Do not remove the bell end of the PVC pipe. The bell end can be used as a coupling for connecting straight pipe segments. -

Clear into the dedicated, weather- resistant power receptacle. Pump Priming Instructions Step 1. Open the enclosure of the Clear by lifting the latch hasp to open the lid and double-leaf doors. Step 2. Remove the lid from the pump strainer basket by turning it counterclockwise. -
Page 13: Suction And Discharge Operation
Suction and Discharge Operation Turn the Clear on and observe the suction and discharge locations in the waterbody. The intake should not create a vortex at the surface. If a vortex is visible, the intake screen is not properly submerged. Verify that the intake screen is resting on the floor of the waterbody and extend the suction pipe as required to position the intake screen in a deeper location of the waterbody. -
