The Hydro-Quip 8000 Series Solid-State Systems were designed for indoor or outdoor installations.
This equipment may be used for both inground and above ground spas/hot tubs.
SYSTEM INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
The Equipment System must be installed on a firm, level
surface (ie: concrete or plastic base)
The area where the system is installed must have adequate
drainage to prevent flooding of the equipment under all
circumstances.
For performance reasons locate the system as close to the
spa/hot tub as practical. (Consult local codes for minimum
distance between equipment and spa)
Provide adequate access around and above the System for
service and maintenance. Three (3’) of clearance around the
equipment is recommended.
The pump(s) provided with the system may or may not be
self-priming. Pumps that are NOT self priming must be
installed BELOW water level or they will not prime.
The Spaside control has a 50’ cord length. Plan routing
distance between the equipment and vessel to be less than
44ft.
PLUMBING INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
To assure adequate performance, the use of 2” piping is recommended.
There may be 3 or 4 separate plumbing systems in the spa. Verify the function of each pipe.
1) Suction System Plumbing - this plumbing will connect to the spa’s skimmer, main drain and
suction fittings. This plumbing connects to the front end of each pump.
2) Discharge System Plumbing - this plumbing will go to the spa’s hydrotherapy jet and massage
fittings. This plumbing connects to the open end of the heater on your Equipment System.
3) Air Blower Plumbing - this plumbing will go to an air channel under the floor, or to an air distribution
manifold of the spa. This plumbing connects only to an air blower.
4) Aux Pump Plumbing - When more pumps are added, this piping will not interconnect with the
heater control system. Follow the spa/hot tub manufactures instruction for connection, and safety
suction requirement
5) Understand in advance the spa manufactures plumbing design for ozone delivery and make
accommodation in your plumbing plan.
To allow for safe operation of the spa/hot tub, the suction fittings must be agency approved and rated
Max Flow capacity.
After plumbing is complete, secure the Hydro-Quip Equipment System with the appropriate
hardware.
