POOLSIDE MODEL
1. The proper layout for the WetDek poolside plumbing is located in FIGURE 5.
2. The poolside version of the WetDek should run off of an independent pump from the rest of the
pool. This independent pool pump will need to provide the following gallons per minute (GPM): a
six nozzle model will require 18 GPM minimum, a nine nozzle model will require 27 GPM
minimum, and a twelve nozzle model will require 36 GPM minimum. This pump should be
powered through the WetDek AquaDirector Controller (1) in the same manner as the Stand Alone
version.
3. Alternately, if the pool equipment is controlled by an intelligent system (i.e. Easy Touch,
AquaLink) then the pool pump can be setup to provide the water flow required. This will be
covered in the WetDek AquaDirector Controller Installation section.
4. The drain must be a minimum of 6” above the
surface of the water in the adjacent pool. This
will help to eliminate puddles from forming on
the surface. The drain should run directly to the
pool and MUST NEVER BE CONNECTED TO
A SUCTION RETURN. If bulkhead fittings are
used, the 4” drain line can be split into two 1 ½”
lines that run into the pool.
5. For existing pools, where bulkhead fittings would
be difficult, it is possible to hook up the drain line
to the pool return line as long as it is not
connected to the suction side.
6. The WetDek should have its own 1 ½” or 2” pipe
coming off of the independent pump. This
should be sized down to 1” pipe right before the
valve manifold.
7. The valve manifold for the Poolside version
should be setup as shown in FIGURE 6.
8. Each of the 1” Manifold Tees (4) should be
attached to one of the 1” HPV Valves (3). This is
done by threading the male portion of the
manifold tee to the female inlet side of the valve.
It is important to insure that the valve is placed
in the correct direction for the system to work
properly.
