General summary of the documentation:

the parts shown in grey are still under construction.

APRIL 2024 Until this section is updated, here are some of the main diagrams, which can be enlarged as required .
This is a transportable but functional model, to be powered by two or three photovoltaic panels, to be installed as a bypass on a swimming pool recycling circuit, or to be powered (for demonstration purposes) by a garden fountain pump immersed in a can or barrel.
