1.
Choose location for the Fountains. Note 1: If pool
is to be winterized go to Page 2 -
Plumbing For
Pools That Must Be Winterized. Note 2: Maximum
water depth that they can be installed is 38
inches, and the fountain can be plumbed no
closer than 6 inches from the front edge of the
step or shelf area or 11 inches from the back or
side of the step or shelf area. (See Figure 1)
2.
Dig trenches for 1-½“ Sch. 40 plumbing to the
location of the Fountain allowing for the top of
the tee to be 8” below top of finished gunite level.
3.
You may cut the Fountain Housing Shaft at the
marker indicating your water depth to minimize
the need for digging a deep hole for the shaft,
however this step is optional. Keep the top end of
the pipe and discard the lower end with the
higher numbers. (See Figure 2)
4.
Remove the sticker from the Fountain Housing
Shaft to ensure proper seal to the Tee and the
cap.
5.
Glue the Fountain Housing Shaft and Paramount
Riser Pipe to opposite ends of the Tee, and a 2”
Cap to the bottom of the Housing Assembly.
(See Figure 3)
6.
At the location of the fountain dig a vertical shaft
deep enough below the trench to accommodate
the Fountain Housing Assembly.
7.
Each Fountain must be fed by a separate 1-½“
Sch. 40 pipe and gate valve to allow each
fountain to be adjusted separately. Glue the
Fountain Housing to the feed pipe so that it is
plumb.
8.
Glue the Cap onto the Paramount Riser for
pressure testing. (See Figure 3)
9.
Pressure-test the Fountain Housing to code
(pressure to remain on system until plaster).
