SYSTEM LOCATION
Though the system is designed for outdoor use, it is
advisable to protect electrical components from the
weather. Select a well-drained area, one that will not
flood when it rains.
For best pump performance, position the system below
the swimming pool water line. If the system must be
located above the pool water line, it can be raised as
high as 2 feet (610 mm) above the water without
affecting the pump’s efficiency.
NOTE: NSPI-4 Article V, standard for above-ground and
on-ground pools, advises that components such as the
filtration system, pumps and heater be positioned so as
to prevent their being used as a means of access to the
pool by young children.
Set the mounting platform level. Keep the cover lock,
filter bump handle, drain outlet and pressure gauge
accessible for convenient operation.
Position the system so the filter tank can be drained by
gravity.
PLUMBING INSTALLATION
Use 1-1/4
”
or 1-1/2
”
I.D. flexible plastic pipe, or hose,
joined with insert fittings and stainless steel clamps.
All plumbing connections on the system are 1-1/2
”
N.P.T. When making connections, use plastic male-end
adapters. Apply three turns of Teflon tape or plastic
pipe sealant to the male threads. Screw the fitting into
the threads hand tight; then, using a wrench, tighten
one more full turn. Additional tightening is unnecessary
and could result in damaged components.
Refer to the diagrams for suggested valving. Ball-type
valves are recommened where needed.
