Installation Manual Pump Assembly – need to be within 6’ of furthest Aqua-Lab panel 1. Drill 3/8” holes in wall for bottom slots (20” on center pump nose down, 3.5” on center pump nose sidewise – Dual stand) 2. Insert concrete anchors, set pump on bolts and tighten down. 3.
Installation Manual Feed Water Connection **PRIOR TO CONNECTION, ENSURE THAT THE FEED LINES ARE FREE OF DEBRIS BY FLUSHING OUT THE LINES FOR 15 MINUTES • Connect pre-run main water supply line to pump inlet with hose supplied.
Installation Manual Electrical Connections 1. Electrical Connections a. Wire yellow homerun control cables to car wash control panel (See diagram below for wiring schematic) Manifold position below designates which port is associated to what color wire. • Example: if you want Presoak 1 to be on manifold port 2, connect the green wire to your controller relay for Presoak 1.
