PLUMBING INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)
10.
Backfill the plumbing trenches with dirt to
maintain its vertical alignment. If there is a
vertical trench in the side wall of the pool, pack
dirt around the bottom end of the Fountain
Housing to hold it plumb and stabilize it. Note: If
the Fountain Housing is not plumbed vertically it
will not retract properly
11.
DO NOT HEAT BEND OR ANGLE the riser for
the Fountain when installing on a sloped surface,
such as a beach entry. Doing so will not allow
you to install the fountain or may cause the
Fountain Shaft to bind and not raise or lower.
(See Figure 4)
1.
Choose location for the Fountains.
NOTE: Maximum water depth that they can be
installed is 38 inches, and the fountain can be
plumbed no closer than 6 inches from the front
edge of the step or shelf area or 8 inches from
the back or side of the step or shelf area.
(See Figure 5)
2.
Dig trenches for 1-½“ Sch. 40 plumbing to the
location of the Fountain allowing for the top of
the tee to be 8” below top of finished gunite level.
3.
Cut the Fountain Housing Shaft at the marker
indicating your water depth to minimize the need
for digging a deep hole for the shaft, however
this step is optional. (See Figure 6)
4.
Cut another 2” pipe to this same length.
5.
Remove the sticker from the Fountain Housing
Shaft to ensure proper seal to the Tee and the
elbow.
