One Pump Systems:
The pump must be a high head pump capable of 60
gpm at 70 ft. of head and the filter should be a mini-
mum of a 4.9 sand filter with a two inch valve, 36 sq.
ft. DE filter with a two inch valve, or a 200 sq. ft.
cartage filter. This will be sufficient to give the
required 50 gpm flow to the cleaning system and
allow 10 gpm for the possible fixed nozzle. Any addi-
tional water needed for spa spill ways, water falls or
other water features must be factored in to both pump
and filter sizing.
If a fixed nozzle is required on the pool then it is not
plumbed thru the water valve. It will need its own
return line plumbed in before the water valve. If the
pool is of a size that it does not need to use all six
ports of the water valve then the extra port may be
plumbed to returns or doubled up on one of the other
in-floor circuits.
NOTE: ALL SIX PORTS ON THE VALVE MUST BE PLUMBED TO HEADS OR RETURNS TO AVOID DEAD HEADING
THE PUMP.
Two Pump Systems:
The selection of the filter and its pump is somewhat simpler as it is not driving the water valve and cleaning heads. The fil-
ter pump will draw from the active main drain (via the optional debris canister is used) AND MUST HAVE A LINE FROM
THE SKIMMER AS WELL. Both suction lines need a separate line and valve so they can be adjusted. This is necessary
so the pool has a way to add DE on a DE filter and to regulate the skimmer suction so the proper active main drain flow
can be obtained.
The filter pump must have return fittings in the pool to return the filtered water to the pool and if the in-floor system
includes a fixed nozzle(s) then it will also need a separate valve on the return line going to the fixed nozzle(s). Many
Vantage designs do not have fixed nozzles. Use
your design plan from Paramount to determine
whether or not you will have a fixed nozzle(s). If
you did not get a head layout plan call Paramount
at 800-621-5886 with the size and type of pool
you have.
The Booster pump for the cleaning system will pull
from the second port of the skimmer or from a
second skimmer. It must be a high head pump
capable of 50 gpm at 60 ft. of head.
