PLUMBING INSTRUCTIONS
1. The helix™ is designed for a water supply line of 1" pipe.
Plumb from pool return line with a 1" PVC pipe "stubbed up"
at the deck positioned at the base of the ladder. Refer to
Figure 1 on page 2. Figure 1 is for reference only.
Assembled slide should be placed in its correct location and
the "stub up" location marked and installed before mounting
the slide to the deck. "Stub up" should be dark grey PVC to
match the plumbing assembly of the slide. Note: "Stub up"
should extend above the deck 18" in height; it will be cut
down later in the installation process.
2. If a garden hose is to be used, a garden hose adapter fitting
is included with the slide. Assemble the pieces as shown in
Figure 14 and attach to the end of the PVC plumbing
assembly at the base of the ladder.
3. Proceed to the following section for ON-DECK MOUNTING.
After the slide has been mounted to the deck, attach the
"stub up" to the plumbing assembly installed in the ladder.
4. The helix™ can handle up to 20 gallons per minute. Water
flow to the main water supply is to be regulated using the ball
valve (16) near the center of the ladder. The fountain feature
can be regulated via the small ball valve just under the top of the ladder. Figure 13 shows the
location of the small ball valve.
5. The fountain feature and the main water supply can be either used together or alone.
a. To use only the main water supply, shut off the small ball valve. Adjust the large ball valve
for the desired water flow.
b. To use only the fountain, shut off the large ball valve. Adjust the small ball valve for desired
flow.
c. To use both the fountain and the main water supply together, the large ball valve must be
partially closed. In general, closing the large ball valve more will increase the flow to the
fountain. Adjust the small and large ball valves to obtain the desired flow from each water
feature.
