Balboa Water Group 1/2 Slimline Air Control 10-2510 - Manual

1/2” SLIMLINE AIR CONTROL INSTRUCTIONS
10-2510 & 10-2510 H
The correct hole size for the 1/2” Slimline Air Control is 1-1/8”.
1. Before drilling a hole for air control make sure surface is flat, so the air body (#3) will have the best surface to seal
against.
2. Drill a 1 1/8” hole.
3. Align window on the handle (#7) with the “MIN” position. Place the palm of the hand against the top of the Slimline
Air Control handle (#7), and press down firmly, rotating the handle counterclockwise about a quarter turn.
4. Grasp the outer edges of the handle with your fingertips and pull the handle from the outer body (#3). Remove
check valve ball (#4) from outer body (#3).
5. Place silicone on backside of flange of outer body (#3) and install through hole in spa/bathtub.
6. Place gasket (#2) onto body on the outside of spa wall.
7. Hand tighten nut (# 1) onto body.
8. Glue 1/2” pipe in socket of air control.
IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE CHECK VALVE BALL (#4) WAS REMOVED TO AVOID
EXCESS GLUE FROM INTERFERING WITH CHECK VALVE OPERATION.
9. Remove excess silicone from around flange of air control and surface of spa/bathtub.
10. Once glue is dry reinstall check valve ball (#4).
11. Make sure handle/stem assembly (#8) is in the fully closed position by aligning the
window on the inner body (#5) and making sure the foam is not showing. Insert
handle/stem assembly (#8) into outer body (#3) with the window on the handle (#7) in the
“MAX” position.
12. Once the handle/stem assembly (#8) is in the outer body (# 3), press on the top surface of
the handle (#7) firmly and rotate the handle clockwise until it stops (approx. 1/4 turn).
13. Check the MAX and MIN position through the window on the top of the handle, and
match with the operation of the jets. If aeration occurs in the “MIN” position, the Slimline
Air Control has been improperly assembled. To correct, press down firmly on the handle
and rotate again clockwise. Recheck the “MAX/MIN” position with the operation of
the jets.
