Re: Inspect Cell AquaTrol
I am correct about the Canadian units not having the recepticle for the pump. Here is a Canadian manual and it shows that there is no pump receptacle on the unit on page 10.

It seems that the Canadian unit does not use a flow switch and uses the 'in return' installation. My concern is the unit being on with the pump not operating but the way the unit is installed is is supposed to allow the hydrogen gas to vent out the return. It would seem that the unit is always supplying power to the cell and that would be a waste of electricity, IMHO. I would also be concerned about a local buildup of high chlorine levels if the unit is generating and the pump is off. I cannot see how the unit can determine if the pump is on or off with out a flow switch or without the pump being controlled by the unit istelf as in the US models. I guess you will need to run the pump 24/7.
