9. It is also important to insure that the valves are all in the same orientation before attaching the
Manifold Tees (4) as shown in FIGURE 6.
10. The Manifold Tees (4) should first be wiped with a PVC Primer and then given a liberal amount of
PVC Glue on one of the surfaces before connecting the male and female ends.
11. The first three valves will each connect to one of the zones controlled by the WetDek
AquaDirector Controller. The order is not important.
12. The last portion of the valve manifold should connect the 1" Globe Valve (5) from the end of the
valve manifold back to the pools return line, as shown in FIGURE 6. This will work as a bypass
and will allow you to manually adjust the heights of the water spray for the whole system.
COMMON INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. The nozzles can be placed in any of the examples presented in the WETDEK CONFIGURATION
EXAMPLES & GUIDELINES section. Please note: all nozzles must be approximately the
same distance from the valves to assure that the height of the water streams remains
constant.
2. The slope of the surface needs to have a minimum two degree slope toward the drain. This
means that for every foot of radius there needs to be a quarter inch drop, e.g. 14 ft. diameter pad
means a 7 ft. radius, so the pad should drop 1 ¾ in. from the edge of the pad to the drain.
20. The nozzles must be at least two feet from the edge of the pad to prevent overspray. The nozzles
have adjustable ball valves that can be aimed in any direction, up to 60 degrees.
21. The distance from the pump to the valves and from the valves to the nozzles is important.
Depending on the distance, the diameter of pipe needs to vary for optimal performance. TABLE 1
and FIGURE 7, below, show the size of pipe required for varying distances of pipe.

5. The valves should be placed either in the pump house or in a valve box near the intended
WetDek surface. The valves can only be placed in a pump house if the pad is within 50 feet of the
WetDek surface.
6. The drain requires a 4" pipe to drain the surface efficiently.
7. The nozzles are designed with a 1" male threaded connection. The valves are designed with 1"
female threaded connections.
8. The valves should be attached to the control box with a minimum of 16 gauge electrical wire. The
valves are 24 Volt AC, so each valve needs to be attached with two separate wires; there is no
common ground. The first three valves can be attached in any order, but the fourth valve is
designed as the recirculation line and should be attached accordingly.
