Loop Plumbing Diagram
The IntelliChlor Electronic Chlorine Generator is designed to operate with water flow rates from 25 gallons per
minute (gpm) up to 105 gpm. Do not exceed 105 gpm or pipe manufacturers recommended flow rate,
whichever is less. For flow rates over 80 gpm you must use a bypass loop (as shown below) for best chlorine
production. Installations with flow rates over 80 gpm include those that have in-floor cleaning systems or
booster pumps. These systems MUST use a bypass loop with the IECG with a flow control valve that assures
that the flow through the IECG is maintained within its designed operating water flow rates.

IntelliChlor Plumbing Diagram
Plumbing the IntelliChlor Electronic Chlorine Generator (IECG):
•
Always install the IntelliChlor Electronic Chlorine Generator AFTER the filter and heater (see
"System Diagram" on page 4). The ICEG should be no closer than three (3) feet away from the
heater outlet.
•
If the IECG is installed on a pool/spa combination system, install (see diagram below) the IECG
BEFORE the pool/spa return valve to allow proper chlorination of both the pool and spa and also to
avoid creating gas traps in the pipes.
Note: For best flow
sensing, provide at
least 12"-18" of straight
pipe in front of the cell
inlet.
