Important: the equipment should never be operated
without water in the pool. serious damage to the
equipment will occur.
1. Installing your cover: Your riptide pool cover
comes with tie-down straps and locking hardware to
attach the cover to the pool cabinet or decking.
2. Check drain valves: Check that the pool drain
valve is fully closed.
3. tighten equipment fittings: in the equipment
compartment, hand-tighten all PVC pipe unions,
pump bleed valve and pump drain plugs to prevent
the possibility of leakage (sometimes these fittings
loosen during shipment). Check also that all fittings
on the filter are closed (HanD tiGHt OnlY! ).
4. Check Valve: Verify that all valves aside from the
drainage valves described previously are in the fully
open position. a valve that is half closed will result in
a noisy pump due to lack of water flow.
5. fill the pool: Fill the pool to approximately the
halfway point on the skimmers.

6. Water overflow Built into the back of the skimmer
on all models except Oceana, is a water overflow. the
overflow stops rain water from over filling the pool.
excess water will flow out from the corner adjacent to
the overflow.
Note 1: the higher the water level, the less pool users
it will take to cause the water to overflow the pool
edge. also, water will splash out more easily whilst
swimming in the pool if it is over-filled.
Note 2:
if you live in a hard water area and have access to
softened water please add 20% hard to 80% soft to
achieve 250-500 parts per million.
6. Check for leaks: after the riptide pool is full, but
before turning the power on, check all the fittings and
equipment in the equipment compartment for signs of
leakage. if a leak is detected, except from fittings that
can be hand-tightened, call your authorised riptide
dealer.

4 JEt tURBO mODEL
Option 1
the 4 turbo jets are powered by 3 x 3.5hp pumps via
wide 3” plumbing, providing more water to each jet.
the controls allow the operation of the top 2 jets, the
bottom 2 jets or all 4 jets at once.
Option 2
the 4 turbo jets are powered by 3 x 3.5hp pumps via
3” plumbing. the top 2 turbo jets are run via a 10 level
variable speed drive to give more control of the water
current which can be adjusted to suit the swimmer.
the bottom 2 jets can be used on their own for a gentle
swim or in conjunction with the top 2 jets to provide a
very strong, adjustable swim current.
