Paramount Fountain Manifold Plumbing w/ Water Feature
Booster Pump
(See Figure 11)
1.
Fountains using a Booster Pump must have a strainer
such as a Jandy Energy Filter (Part# 3456) between the
pump and the fountains.
2.
If a Booster Pump is used to run Water Features in the
pool it is imperative to have a means of bleeding off the
excess water that does not go through the Fountains.
This can be accomplished by adding other water features
and wall returns.
3.
Each Fountain that is installed should be run with its own
1-½“ gate valve to allow adjustment of water flow to each
Fountain individually for the desired effect.
4.
DO NOT use a 2-way or 3-way valve in place of the gate
valve to the Fountains. 2-way and 3-way valves do not
easily make minor adjustments and may damage the
Fountainheads.
5.
A 2-way ball valve must be plumbed between the tee to the
last Fountain and the wall returns so the Fountains water
heights may be adjusted individually.
