Pumps with plastic pump housing mounts (see
Figure 7) should be attached by aligning the
openings with the two holes outside the raised area
(see Figure 8a). This type of mount will require the
use of TWO mounting bolts from the hardware bag
(H)
.

If there are NO THREADS on the inside of your pump inlet or on the inside of
the pump basket, attach to bottom of thru-wall skimmer (in place of standard
fitting). This valve will allow you to stop the flow of water FROM the pool in the
event of filter maintenance (see Figure 9).
Place tank on top of round opening on base and rotate until the holes in the tank bottom line
up with the holes in the base. Use remaining mounting bolts from hardware bag
(H)
to secure
in place. BEFORE bolting down, make sure that the port labeled “TO PUMP” (open port,
without slide valve) is facing the back of the base (longer part of base indicates back).
See Figures 10 and 11.

Cover threads of slide valve entirely
with Teflon tape

to protect from
leaks at the connection. Thread the
slide valve into the FRONT of the
pump or pump strainer basket if
applicable (see Figure 8b).
