SECTION 13: FILTER AND PLUMBING
STEP 1: IN SOME AREAS THE LOCAL BUILDING DEPARTMENT MAY REQUIRE THE POOL PLUMBING TO BE OF A SPECIFIC MATERIAL, SUCH AS COPPER OR RIGID P.V.C. THE PLUMBING PACKAGE SUPPLIED (OPTIONAL) WITH YOUR POOL CONTAINS ALL THE NECESSARY MATERIAL TO HOOKUP THE FILTER TO THE POOL WITH THE BLACK POLY PIPE.
THE FOLLOWING PLUMBING SEQUENCE PERTAINS TO HOOKING UP THE OPTIONAL PLUMBING PACKAGE ON AREAS WHERE PERMISSIBLE.). FOR ASSEMBLY WITH OTHER MATERIALS, CONSULT WITH YOUR DEALER.
INSERT A PLASTIC 11/2" MALE ADAPTER INTO THE BOTTOM OF EACH SKIMMER AND A 11/2" MALE COMBO ELL INTO EACH RETURN OR SUCTION FITTING. USE TEFLON TAPE TO SEAL THE FITTINGS. FIRST CLEAN THE THREADS AND APPLY TWO (2) LAYERS OF TAPE OVER THE ENTIRE THREAD. ASSEMBLE AND TIGHTEN UNTIL SNUG. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
THE POLY PIPE IS RUN FROM THESE FITTINGS TO THE FILTER UNIT (DESCRIBED LATER). IF A MAIN DRAIN IS USED, SEE SECTION 18 ON MAIN DRAIN INSTALLATION AND NOTE: "OPTIONAL HOOKUP FOR MAIN DRAIN".
LOCATE THE FILTER AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO THE POOL TO KEEP THE LENGTH OF PLUMBING TO A MINIMUM. INSTALL THE FILTER AS CLOSE TO THE ELEVATION OF THE POOL AS POSSIBLE. WE RECOMMEND THAT THE PUMP INTAKE BE NOT MORE THAN 24" ABOVE THE WATER LEVEL.
NOTE: AN IDEAL SETUP IS TO HAVE THE PUMP SUCTION AT THE SAME LEVEL AS THE
POOL WATER. THIS IS VERY EFFICIENT AND EASY TO PRIME. DAMP, NON-VENTILATED AREAS SHOULD BE AVOIDED FOR THE FILTER. THE MOTOR WILL RUST AND NEEDS A FREE CIRCULATION OF AIR TO COOL THE UNIT. THE FILTER AND HEATER OF (IF SUPPLIED) SHOULD BE PLACED ON A CONCRETE PAD. A 36" x 42" PAD WILL SUPPORT THE FILTER AND A 42" x 90" PAD SHOULD BE USED FOR A FILTER AND HEATER.
THE POOL PIPING BELOW GRADE SHOULD BE ON FIRM EARTH TO PREVENT SETTLING AND DAMAGE TO THE PIPE. ALSO THE PIPE SHOULD NOT BE RUN OVER THE
"A" FRAME HORIZONTALS TO AVOID DAMAGE DUE TO SETTLING. TWO (2) STAINLESS STEEL BAND TYPE CLAMPS SHOULD BE USED ON EACH CONNECTION 180 DEGREES ROTATED AROUND. THE CLAMPS MUST BE LOCATED OVER THE SERRATED PORTION OF THE FITTING AND MUST BE RETIGHTENED AFTER TEN HOURS.
THE BASIC POOL PACKAGE COMES EQUIPPED WITH HAYWARD SP-1085 SKIMMER (S)
AND HAYWARD SP-l048 RETURN(S). THE 16' x 32' POOL THRU 18'x 36' POOLS HAVE ONE (1) SKIMMER AND TWO (2) RETURNS. IF A MAIN DRAIN IS ADDED, THE SUCTION LINE SHOULD BE PLUMBED AS SHOWN IN FIGURE 24.
THE 20' x 40' POOL HAS TWO (2) SKIMMERS AND TWO (2) RETURN LINES. A MAIN DRAIN MAY BE ADDED TO THE 20' x 40'.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT A MINIMUM NUMBER OF FITTINGS AND JOINTS WILL PROVIDE LESS FLOW RESTRICTIONS, EASIER SIMPLER PLUMBING, AND CLEAN THE
POOLMORE EFFICIENTLY.
NOTE: USE CAUTION SO NOT TO KINK THE POLY PIPE, AS THIS WILL CREATE A FLOW RESTRICTION. IF THE FILTER IS LOCATED FAR FROM THE POOL OR MAIN DRAIN IS
USED, ADDITIONAL POLY PIPE MAY BE NEEDED. ORDER THIS BY PART NUMBER TI081. 100' COIL.
ASSEMBLE THE FILTER UNIT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS PACKED INSIDE THE UNIT. USE TEFLON TAPE ON ALL SCREW IN FITTINGS AS PREVIOUSLY
EXPLAINED.
