POOLSIDE MODEL
1. The proper layout for the WetDek poolside plumbing is located in
FIGURE 5
.
2. The poolside version of the WetDek should run off of an independent pump from the rest of the
pool. This independent pool pump will need to provide the following gallons per minute (GPM): a
six nozzle model will require 18 GPM minimum, a nine nozzle model will require 27 GPM
minimum, and a twelve nozzle model will require 36 GPM minimum. This pump should be
powered through the WetDek AquaDirector Controller (1) in the same manner as the Stand Alone
version.
3. Alternately, if the pool equipment is controlled by an intelligent system (i.e. Easy Touch,
AquaLink) then the pool pump can be setup to provide the water flow required. This will be
covered in the WetDek AquaDirector Controller Installation section.
4. The drain must be a minimum of 6” above the
surface of the water in the adjacent pool. This will
help to eliminate puddles from forming on the
surface. The drain should run directly to the pool and
MUST NEVER BE CONNECTED TO A SUCTION
RETURN
. If bulkhead fittings are used, the 4” drain
line can be split into two 1 ½” lines that run into the
pool.
5. For existing pools, where bulkhead fittings would be
difficult, it is possible to hook up the drain line to the
pool return line as long as it is not connected to the
suction side.
6. The WetDek should have its own 1 ½” or 2” pipe
coming off of the independent pump. This should be
sized down to 1” pipe right before the valve
manifold.
7. The valve manifold for the Poolside version should
be setup as shown in
FIGURE 6
.
8. Each of the 1” Manifold Tees (4) should be attached
to one of the 1” HPV Valves (3). This is done by
threading the male portion of the manifold tee to the
female inlet side of the valve. It is important to insure
that the valve is placed in the correct direction for
the system to work properly.
