NOTE

Retain the gaskets supplied and keep them accessible.

3.Use the Teflon™ tape provided. Snugly wrap the threaded wall flange in a clockwise direction (as viewed from the back) starting at the edge of the threads; see Figure 2. Work towards the flange lip (overlapping 1/2 of the tape width with each wrap) then back towards the starting point.

If you have a new pool, move on to step 10.

If the water level is below the return fitting on an existing pool, remove the old fitting and move on to step 10.

If the pool is full of water, follow steps 5 through 9.

NOTE

Steps 4 through 8 require two (2) No. 9 winterizing plugs (not supplied).

4.Remove the existing eyeball fitting from the return fitting on your pool wall, see Figure 3.

5.Place a winterizing plug in the front side of the existing return fitting and disconnect the return hose and clamp from the existing fitting.

6.Place a winterizing plug in the front side of the Quasar threaded wall flange

7.While holding the existing return fitting from the inside of the pool, remove the large nut or the existing fitting body on the outside of the pool wall.

8.Using a folded rag in the palm of your hand, push the old return fitting out of the wall from the outside of the pool; see Figure 4. Hold the rag firmly against the wall to prevent water spillage.

9.Insert the flange and gasket from the inside of the pool through the hole cut out for the inlet fitting. Ensure that the threaded wall flange is centered on the hole.

10.Take the remaining gasket and put it on the threaded wall flange from the outside of the pool; see Figure 5. Standard sheet metal walls will have one gasket and one spacer left over. Do not use these two items, as they are for use on narrow interlocking wall panels only.

Quasar specifications

Pentair Quasar is an innovative pool and spa filtration system designed to enhance water quality while providing exceptional energy efficiency and ease of use. Known for its advanced engineering and robust features, the Quasar series stands out in the competitive world of pool maintenance.

One of the key features of the Pentair Quasar is its advanced filtration technology, which integrates multi-layer filtration media to effectively capture both large debris and microscopic particles. This results in exceptionally clean water, ensuring that pool owners can enjoy crystal-clear swimming conditions. The multi-layer system minimizes the need for frequent filter changes, thus significantly reducing operational costs and environmental impact.

The Quasar utilizes cutting-edge pump technology, designed to operate efficiently at varying flow rates. This dynamic performance allows for optimal circulation without wasting energy, catering to different pool sizes and requirements. The variable-speed pumps are engineered to deliver silent operation while achieving significant energy savings compared to traditional single-speed pumps. This aligns well with the growing trend towards sustainability in pool management.

Another standout characteristic is its user-friendly control system, which features intuitive touchscreen interfaces that allow for easy adjustments to temperature, filtration schedules, and maintenance alerts. The user-centric design ensures that operators, regardless of experience level, can manage water quality effectively. Moreover, this system can seamlessly integrate with modern smart home technologies, allowing users to monitor and control their pool environment remotely via mobile applications.

The Pentair Quasar also emphasizes durability and reliability. Constructed from high-quality materials resistant to corrosion and UV damage, the system is built to withstand the rigors of outdoor environments. Maintenance is simplified further by design elements that facilitate easy access to internal components, making routine servicing more convenient.

In addition, the Quasar series features advanced water sanitization technologies, including options for salt chlorination systems which promote a more natural swimming experience, free from harsh chemicals. This enhances swimmer comfort while maintaining the highest water sanitation standards.

In summary, the Pentair Quasar represents a leap forward in pool filtration technology. With its multi-layer filtering capabilities, energy-efficient pumps, intuitive control systems, and enhanced durability, it offers an optimal solution for homeowners looking to maintain pristine pool conditions with minimal effort and environmental impact. The Quasar is a testament to Pentair's commitment to innovation in water technology, making it a preferred choice for discerning pool enthusiasts.
