SVRS USE AND MAINTENANCE:
1. To use the Vac-Alert
TM
Model VA-2000 properly, and to maintain the unit in good
working order, the following should be practiced.
a. Make sure that the vent screen is always in place and is clear of all obstructions
or debris. This is critical to ensure that the air vent passageway is kept clear to
allow the movement of air into the pump suction piping, in the event of a high
vacuum occurrence due to a main drain blockage.
b. Using the installed test valve, or a pole-mounted test mat, conduct routine testing
of the SVRS device to ensure proper adjustment of the unit. The Vac-Alert
TM
Model VA-2000 SVRS unit must be tested at the start of each swimming season,
and recommended thereafter at least once per month while the pool or spa remains
in use by the end user.
c. If the SVRS does not function properly during a routine test, the device may need
further adjustment. Refer to SVRS adjustment procedures detailed herein, and
follow these procedures to re-adjust the SVRS unit. Test the SVRS unit three (3)
times after re-adjustment to ensure proper SVRS operation. A mat test is required
for those installations where a hydro-static valve is present. Should the SVRS unit
still not operate properly,
immediately shut down the pool or spa
, and call your
local pool/spa professional, or call Vac-Alert
TM
Customer Service for referral
to your nearest dealer.
d. Make sure the security cap is always installed to guard against unauthorized
tampering with SVRS adjustment.
2. The SVRS unit requires no lubrication, no oil, and no grease for proper operation.
Do not
apply any oil, grease or lubricant, on or in this SVRS device.
Do not
obstruct
the vent screen on the SVRS unit with any foreign material, such as paint, aerosol
sprays or adhesive tape.
