GENERAL INFORMATION
It is imperative that there be not less than two (2) suction drain
outlets on the installation. These must be installed on the suc-
tion side of the pump with no valves between them.
CAUTION: The installation must conform to the
recommended plumbing as indicated in this installation in-
struction sheet and accompanying diagrams. Alterations
to the specified plumbing recommendations could create
the potential for serious bodily injury (See plumbing dia-
gram). This is a through-the-wall, front load skimmer that is
designed to operate between 5 and 30 gallons per minute.
The pump should be sized and adapted so the skimmer will
operate in this designated range. The flow capacity of the
suction drains must exceed the capacity of the pumping
unit(s).
LOCATION
You should locate a flat surface on the inside spa wall to mount
the skimmer. The center of the opening should be approxi-
mately where the water level will be maintained.
