  • Page 2 The Fastlane can be mounted one of two ways: The Wall Mount Fastlane fastens to the wall of the pool using the bracket provided. Two 1 1/2" (38mm) PVC pipe which serve as conduits for the hydraulic hoses run under the pool deck to a remotely located, 5-horsepower, hydraulic Power Unit, as shown in Figure 1.1.
  • Page 3 The Fastlane can fit in virtually any swimming pool. For optimal water flow, we recommend that you allow at least 12 feet (3,7m) between the wall on which the Fastlane is installed and the opposing wall in line with the Swim Unit. The Fastlane has more than 9 square feet (.83m ) of water intake to eliminate any entrapment hazards.

  • Page 6 Figures 4.2 and 4.3. The area below the bracket plate should be no more than 5 degrees less than vertical down to at least 35" (89cm) below the waterline. The Fastlane is 21"...
  • Page 7 Remove the star thru-wall fittings and threaded rod pieces with hex coupling nut attachments from the 1/8" (3mm) -thick, grey PVC template. Position the PVC template where the Fastlane will attach to the pool wall and align the bottom of the template with the expected water level in the pool (which will typically be located at the centerline of the skimmer) as shown in Figure 4.4.
  • Page 8 In this application the bracket were serve primarily as a template. Position the bracket on the pool wall where the Fastlane will be placed. Align the etched mark on the bracket with the expected water line (typi- cally 1/2 way up the skimmer opening) and make sure that it is level. Temporarily adhere the bracket (using duct tape or the like) to the pool wall.

  • Page 10 It is at the junction box where a step up to 1/2" run hose occurs. The hydraulic hose from the Fastlane Swim Unit to the junction box is 3/8" (9,5mm) and the run hose from the junction box to the Power Unit is 1/2".
  • Page 11 The packaging can be collapsed and used as a protective surface upon which to assemble the Fastlane. The foam packing material can be used to wedge under the base to prevent it from tipping over. 6.2 Take care when handling or working with any of the stainless steel components of the swim unit. The ends can be sharp.
  • Page 12 F a s t l a n e S w i m U n i t I n s t a l l a t i o n ® 6.4 Remove the throat from the upper housing. There are two screws on each side of the throat. Pull the throat off of the housing and set it aside.
  • Page 13 ® 6.7 Carefully lay the Fastlane onto its front face. Run the hydraulic hoses up the back of the upper hous- ing. The two hat channels will be placed over the hydraulic hoses. Make sure that the mounting hole in the end of the hat channel is facing up and that the bottom of the hat channel has been inserted into the notch in the cylindrical base.
  • Page 14 F a s t l a n e S w i m U n i t I n s t a l l a t i o n ® 6.9 Slide the horizontal water-conditioning grill back into its track inside the housing. The horizontal grill is the wider of the two grills (Fig 6.7).
  • Page 15 F a s t l a n e S w i m U n i t I n s t a l l a t i o n ® 6.11 Reattach the throat (removed in step 4) to the upper housing. Again, there will be 2 screws on either side of the throat (Fig 6.9).
  • Page 16 (Fig 6.11). Fig. 6.11 6.14 Once the Fastlane is installed in the pool, place the housing lid onto the housing and use the provided screws to attach. There will be three screws per side, for a total of six (Fig 6.12).
  • Page 17 Using two people, carefully lower the Fastlane into the pool. Align the holes in the protective hat channels with the mounting rods and rest the Fastlane into place. The Fastlane will hang from these rods. Place the 3/8" (9,5mm) flat washer, lock washer, and nut onto each mounting rod and secure.
  • Page 18 DECK MOUNT FASTLANE HOSE COVER TRAY INSTALLATION 8.1 Choose where the Fastlane is to be placed in the pool. The water depth must be 35" (89cm). There must be a minimum of 24" (61cm) between the Fastlane and any adjacent wall or pool obstruction.
  • Page 19 Fig. 9.1 9.2 Carefully lay the assembled Fastlane down on its front face. There are six pre-drilled holes in the center of the top housing (between the protective hat channels). Align the top set of holes in the rear of the housing with appropriate number hole in the hanger bracket (if the freeboard is 6"...
  • Page 20 Once the hoses are in the hose clip, tighten the hose clip screw. 9.5 Secure the stainless steel bond wire (that exits the top of the Fastlane) to the bond lug attached to the hose cover tray. Attach a #8 AWG bare copper wire to the bonding lug (attached to the hose cover tray) and then incorporate that wire into the pool’s bonding grid.
  • Page 21 ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE UK (and countries with similar electrical requirements) The unique design of the Fastlane facilitates sales to UK and international customers. The Fastlane is shipped in kit form for easy assembly and installation into any new conventional pool following the de- tailed instructions provided.
  • Page 22 (no neutral is required). For UK and international electrical requirements, please refer to Section 11. 12.5 Turn the circuit breaker for the Power Unit off. Connect the hydraulic hoses from the Fastlane to the Power Unit. The low-pressure hose (connected to the Fastlane) will have red tape wrapped around the hydraulic fitting.
  • Page 23 (red tape). Place this hose end into an empty 5-gallon (19L) bucket. 12.8 Turn on the Fastlane, making sure to hold the hose firmly in your hand over the bucket. The returning hydraulic fluid will flow into the bucket. The system will automatically shut off when the float level switch inside the fluid reservoir is tripped.
