The Parascope fountains require approximately 10
gpm at 20 psi on the filter to operate each fountain.
This can vary with the desired height and the desired
water height coming out from the fountain.
Paramount Fountain Manifold Plumbing w/
Infloor Cleaning System (Fig. 9)
1. The feed line to the Paramount Fountain should
draw water from the line to the wall returns. Do not
plumb the Paramount Fountain in line with the infloor
cleaning system. A 3-way valve should be used
to turn on either the returns or the infloor cleaning
system.
2. Each Fountain that is installed should be run with its
own 1-½" gate valve to allow adjustment of water
flow to each fountain individually for the desired
effect.
3. Do Not use a 2-way or 3-way valve in place of the
gate valve to the Fountains. 2-way and 3-way valves
do not easily make minor adjustments and may
damage the Fountainheads.
4. A 2-way ball valve must be plumbed between
the tee to the last Fountain and the wall returns
so the Fountains water heights may be adjusted
individually.
