NOTE: For new installations other than Jandy DEL48 or DEL60, use the SVLV2 and the Versa Coupler Kit, p/n 8044 (See Figure 4).

If using the Slide Valve with a Pentair filter, use Pentair Pool Products™ Union Set #27002, and then proceed to section B. If using a Sta-rite filter, use Sta-Rite®Union Set #PKGM188, then proceed to section B.

5.Hold the Slide Valve upright and place onto the filter bulkheads (see Figure 3).

6.Tighten both union nuts to secure the valve on the filter.

7.Place filter and valve in proper location on the equipment set pad.

8.Plumb the discharge of the pump into the Slide Valve inlet labeled PORT B.

9.Plumb the Slide Valve outlet labeled PORT A to the heater or pool return lines.

10.Plumb the Slide Valve outlet labeled PORT E to the waste line as needed. Allow the connections to dry for 24 hours.

CAUTION

Do not let any adhesive get inside the Slide Valve body. Adhesive inside the valve body will prevent the piston from moving freely, or cause the valve to leak.

11.When the glue is dry, start the system and check for proper water flow.

CAUTION

To avoid costly equipment damage, after verifying proper water flow and prior to putting system into normal operating conditions, flush the system using Backwash mode until the waste water is clean. Refer to Section 4 for Backwash mode operation instructions.

Section 2. SVLV2 and Versa-Coupler

Installation

NOTE Certain filters may require only one (1) versa- coupler (p/n 8044).

1.Slide one versa-coupler into PORT C and one into PORT D on the Slide Valve.

2.Hold the Slide Valve up to the filter and twist the versa-couplers until they slide into the filter inlet and outlet ports.

NOTE Make sure to align each versa-coupler to the filter and the Slide Valve prior to gluing the assembly. When the parts are in alignment, mark each piece to ensure correct reassembly.

3.Remove the valve from the filter. Clean the versa- couplers and glue them onto the valve using the alignment marks as a reference.

4.Clean the versa-coupler and glue onto the filter. Hold the coupler in place for a minimum of one

(1) minute.

5.Plumb the discharge of the pump into the Slide Valve inlet labeled PORT B.
