INSTALLATION

INSTALL THE VARIABLE FLOW

VALVE ASSEMBLY

NOTE: ￿o not use flexible tubing for this tubing section￿ and do not add additional elbows or fittings between the variable flow valve and the pump elbow and union assembly. If water does not completely drain from the tower and variable flow valve assembly￿ the resulting air pocket will prevent the pump from priming￿ and the ￿odySpa will not work.

Loosely hand tighten the mounting frame union nut to the variable flow valve assembly so the elbow faces toward the pump outlet. Loosely hand tighten the pump elbow and union assembly to the pump outlet so it faces toward the variable flow valve assembly. Measure and cut a length of

161/46inch (I.￿.) rigid PV￿

tubing to connect the

variable flow valve to the

pump outlet. ￿o not

solvent weld

the PV￿ connections at this time. Use

a level and

measuring tape to ensure a minimum

1/46inch per

foot pitch toward the pump.

CAUTION: Risk of personal injuryThe.

red and black wire leads must be connected

exactly

as

instructed to prevent the variable

flow valve

from

operating

in reverse.

Locate the

red

and

black wire

lead cable at the

back of the pump. ￿onnect the red wire lead to the positive <+> variable flow valve terminal. Then connect the black wire lead to the negative <->

terminal. ￿heck

that the wire leads are connected

to the correct

terminals before proceeding.

Check Point #3

-Pump box is positioned within 36:inches of tower mounting

frame, and is oriented toward suction (water intake) line.

- Suction bracket assembly removed from pump box, if necessary.

-Variable flow valve is oriented toward the pump.

-Rigid 1:1/4:inch (i.d.) pvc tubing measured, cut, and fit, but no solvent welded.

-Pitch of 1/4:inch per foot from tower mounting frame to pump outlet connection.

-Variable flow valve assembly attached.

-Red lead (+)

-Black lead (-)
