These GMX devices can
be easily placed on the outside of CPVC,
PEX, PVC, or any type of Copper, Rubber
or Plastic pipe.
You will be installing
all four of these devices in a "Clam
Shell" configuration (see
picture below) at the same location.
Selecting the Proper
Location for These Four Devices.
You should mount these
four devices on the main pipe that
returns the water to your pool or spa, before
the return water valves or manifold.
These devices must be mounted after the
filter, but can be placed before or after
the heater. You can bury these devices
underground, if needed.
These four GMX Model 848
devices, mounted in the "clam shell"
configuration, take up a total of 12"
of pipe space and there must be at least
3" of straight pipe (no elbows or Ts)
before and after these four devices. This
is to minimize the turbulence in the
water as it flows through each device.
You will need a minimum of 18" of
straight pipe to install all four of
these devices.
Additional
Considerations:
This location
MUST be at least 6" upstream
or downstream of the pool heater.
This location
MUST be at least 12"
downstream of (after) the pool
filter.
This location
MUST be at least 24"
downstream of (after) the pool
pump.
