The Vantage System offers several levels of cleaning, starting with basic floor circulation. Options are available to fully clean the floor, steps, and manage (water curtain) and contain (canister) leaf debris.

It is permissible to use 1-1/2" sch40 pipe to join the step and seat heads together. The pipe run from the Water Valve to the first Tee must be 2". Try to minimize pipe runs and use of 90° elbows. Excess pipe and 90° elbows cause a drop in efficiency. Each 90° elbow is equal to the pressure drop of about 3 feet of pipe. Using 2 -45° elbows in place of a 90° elbow doesn't really help on the pressure side as 2-45° elbows causes slightly more pressure drop than 90° elbow. Location of the Water Valve: Position the Water Valve as close to the pool as practical. This has several benefits: It reduces the cost of installation, in terms of both time and materials, as only one pipe covers the greater distance from the equipment to the valve and six the less er distance from the Water Valve to the pool. It allows the owner (as well as the Pool Technician) to adjust the Pause/Run Control with the pool in view. Numbering the Water Valve Ports: The Water Valve ports are number 1 to 6 clockwise when looking down at the Water Valve Base. Start the numbering at any port. Plumbing the valve out of sequence may cause a drop in the system's overall efficiency. 1 6 2 5 3 4 FROM FILTER 4 INSTALLATION 2" VALVE BASE PLUMBING GUIDE NOTICE: All pipe fittings MUST be staggered. (See pictures next page) All plumbing should be 2". The water valve is normally set 6" above water level in a convenient location poolside. This results in dramatic reduction in plumbing runs and increased cost savings. The center port of the bottom housing is the inlet to the valve. Cut all pipes square, this allows maximum gluing surface to the bottom housing. USE PRIMER AND GLUE ON BOTTOM HOUSING AND ON PVC PIPES. (IPS WELDON 2943 PRIMER and 1007 GLUE or 4052 GLUE or EQUIVALENT) Glue pipe all the way into the stop and allow at least 24 hours drying time before pressure test. To prevent glue damage to internal ribs always glue with he valve right side up. If not all six (6) ports are required, use one of the ports twice to feed one return line. The common ports should not be plumbed next to each other, always skip a port when double firing. The pipes from the water valve should be connected together underground. Gluing Instructions 1. Remove Clamp 7. Allow 24 hour before pressure testing. 2. Lift off dome (save 0-ring) 8. Reposition o-ring in groove in the valve base. 3. Remove pressure gauge and T-handle from inside valve 9. Replace dome and V-Clamp and tighten until snug. housing assembly. 10. Thread the pressure gauge to the top of 4. Pipes and valve base should be treated with primer. the dome. DO NOT USE TEFLON TAPE 5. Make sure pipes are glued all the way into the stop. Be 11. Pressurize with pool plumbing (do not exceed careful not to allow glue to run into module area.* 35 psi.) 6. The center port is the inlet to the valve and should be 12. Store the module assembly in a safe place and approximately 3" longer than the perimeter pipes.
