INSTALL THE VARIABLE FLOW
VALVE ASSEMBLY
NOTE: Do 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 BodySpa
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
1Ć1/4Ćinch (I.D.) rigid PVC tubing to connect the
variable flow valve to the pump outlet. Do not
solvent weld the PVC connections at this time. Use
a level and measuring tape to ensure a minimum
1/4Ćinch per foot pitch toward the pump.
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury. The
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. Connect the red wire lead to the
positive <+> variable flow valve terminal. Then
connect the black wire lead to the negative <->
terminal. Check that the wire leads are connected
to the correct terminals before proceeding.
