II

 assembly package contains 

all necessary parts for the installation of the unit 
into concrete, gunite, liner or fiberglass pools.

                          :  All  necessary  screws  and  bolts  included 
with  the 

B

  are  stainless  steel  or 

plastic. 

ALL

  screw  threads  and  threaded  inserts  are 

METRIC! ONLY METRIC

 bolts and nuts may be used! 

The  two  exceptions  are  the  connecting  thread  for 
the  intake  and  delivery  connections  on  the 

B

 and pump housing and the hardware 

for the air regulator assembly. The intake and delivery 
connections  on  the  pump  model  21-80  are  3"  NPT 
threads  and  4"  slip  (3"  on  pump  model  98).  The  air 
regulator  assembly  hardware  is  US  standard  thread.

                          :  The  center  of  the  housing  (the  nozzle) 
should  be  10" 

BELOW  water  level  for  maximum 

efficiency.

 The air regulator should be approximately 

4" 

ABOVE

 the water level. (See fig. 3.)

                  : When connecting the pressure line to the 
pressure connection on top of the 4 HP Pump Model 
21-80,  first  install  a  15  cm  (6")  riser  (fig.  1)  before 
installing  an  elbow  and  leading  the  pressure  line 
downward to the pressure connection at the jet housing. 
This will guarantee trouble-free priming of the pump. 
(Not required for the 3.5 HP Model.)

               : The suction line should run below water 
level right up to the pump location.

               : In areas with soft soil conditions or with 
frequent  earth  movement,  a  flexible  section  of  hose 
should  be  attached  to  the  back  of  the  jet  housing  to 
prevent housing breakage.

                       : Throughout the entire installation, make 
sure plumbing connected to the
