Claims
- 1. A method of installing a water purifier in a pool of water, wherein said pool of water is in communication with a fluid flow conduit which contains a fluid under pressure and extends outside of the pool, said method comprising:
- locating at least a portion of said water purifier beneath a surface level of water in the pool;
- threading first and second electrical wires through the fluid flow conduit such that said electrical wires extend from within the pool to a location outside the pool;
- connecting one end of said first electrical wire to said water purifier and the other end of said first electrical wire to a power terminal of a power supply at said location outside said pool; and
- connecting one end of said second electrical wire to said wire purifier and the other end of said second electrical wire to a return terminal of said power supply.
- 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the step of threading comprises the steps of:
- providing a spool of line which is housed within an internal cavity of a reel;
- providing a leader at a free end of said line;
- connecting said reel to said fluid flow conduit so that said internal cavity fluidly communicates with said fluid flow conduit;
- filling said internal cavity with fluid such that the fluid pressure within said internal cavity is approximately equal to the fluid pressure within said fluid flow conduit;
- inserting said leader into an opening in said fluid flow conduit;
- using a fluid flow through said fluid flow conduit to carry said leader and said line through a portion of said fluid flow conduit and into said pool;
- attaching said wire to said free end of said line without removing said line from said fluid flow conduit; and
- dragging said wire back through said fluid flow conduit by pulling said line out of said fluid flow conduit.
- 3. The method of claim 1, wherein said threading comprises:
- forming a hole in the conduit at said location outside the pool of water; and
- pulling said electrical wires through the conduit and through the hole.
- 4. The method of claim 3, additionally comprising the step of forming a fluid-tight seal between said electrical wires and the conduit at the hole.
- 5. The method of claim 4, wherein said first and second wires are individually protected by protective sheaths.
- 6. A method of installing a water purifier in a pool of water, wherein said pool of water communicates with a fluid flow conduit containing a fluid under pressure, said method comprising:
- locating at least a portion of said water purifier beneath a surface level of water in the pool;
- threading an electrical wire through the fluid flow conduit such that said electrical wire extends from within the pool to a location outside the pool;
- drilling a hole in the conduit at said location outside the pool of water;
- pulling said electrical wire through the conduit and through the drilled hole; and
- connecting one end of said electrical wire to said water purifier and the other end of said electrical wire to a power supply at said location outside said pool.
- 7. The method of claim 6, additionally comprising the step forming a fluid tight seal between said electrical wire and the conduit at the drilled hole.
- 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the seal is formed using a compression fitting.
