Installation Tips to Ensure Proper Performance
WARNING
• Do not exceed maximum operating pressure of 50 psi.
• Do not install automatic or fast shut off valves
downstream of feeder.
• Always install the Sparco System AFTER the
heater (if applicable) on the return line.
• Always install any additional sanitizing equipment
AFTER and NEVER BEFORE the Sparco System is
installed on the return line.
Before installing, read all directions carefully and contact your dealer for installation support.

1) If using a multi-speed pump, run pump for at
least 6 hours per day at high speed (at least 40
gpm).
If the pump will run on low speed
24 hours per day or less than 6
hours per day on high speed, you
must bleed the air while the pump
is on by unscrewing the cap knob
until water appears. Then screw the
knob back on. Repeat this process
each time the cap is removed for any reason.
2) Install Sparco System with 4-8 psi back pressure.
Lower back pressures could result
in under chlorination. Change the eyeball
fittings in the return jets to a smaller
size to increase back pressure. Contact
King Technology at 800-222-0169 for a
specially designed pressure gauge
to determine back pressure at
pool start-up.
3) Special installation Requirements:
IMPORTANT:
Over chlorination or damage to the
Sparco System or other equipment could result if
special installations A, B or C are not used in these
situations.
•
If water flow is higher than 80 gallons per minute
(gpm), see diagram A.
•
If an in-floor cleaner is included with pool,
see diagram B, with two options. Preferred
installation is Option 1 with two separate lines.
•
If set-up is a pool and spa combination with
common equipment, see diagram C.
