INSTALLATION
Installation must be performed in accordance with Local NEC codes.
Preparing Pool Water:
The pool’s chemistry must be balanced BEFORE activating the SPS. It is recommended that you consult a
pool professional for the initial balancing each season. NOTE: At the beginning of each season, add metal
remover and polymer based (non copper) algaecide to the pool, per manufacturer’s instructions. This ensures
a quick, trouble free transfer to the SPS system.
Mounting the SPS Control
The SPS is contained in a rain tight enclosure that is suitable for outdoor mounting. The control must be
mounted a minimum of 5 ft. (2 meters) horizontal distance (or more if local codes require) from the pool/spa.
The control is designed to mount vertically on a at surface with the knockouts facing downward. Because
the enclosure also acts as a heat sink (disperses heat from inside the box), it is important not to block the four
sides of the control. Do not mount the SPS in a panel or tightly enclosed space.
Plumbing
Ensure that the SPS installation does not constitute a cross connection with the local potable water supply.
Consult local plumbing codes. The cell and ow switch are plumbed in the return line to the pool. Install
after (downstream) all the pool equipment (lter, heater, solar, etc.). The kit included in the SPS provides the
necessary plumbing components for:
2” (51mm) rigid PVC piping installation for in ground pools
1 1/2-1 1/4〞(38-32mm) exible hose connections for above ground pools
For proper plumbing, refer to the overview diagram below

IMPORTANT: To insure proper operation, verify that the arrow on the ow switch (located on the side) points
in the same direction of water ow.
