Ensure that the water contains 3 -5 ppm of chlorine OR bromine and check that the UV ozone generator is properly working. - Page 8 Pre-Site Grading Always check before digging to be sure the site is free from utility lines or other obstructions. We recommend that you contact a local utility detection company or call 811 within the United states to locate a certified utility detection company in your area. It is recommended that you spray paint the splash pad location, valve location, tank location, plumbing runs, electrical runs and equipment location before construction begins.

- Page 19 Once the system is primed and running, slowly divert the water to the splash pad using the 3-way diverter valve until the desired pressure is achieved. This should be done before inserting the Rain Deck spray noz- zles to cause any debris in the system to be flushed. Attach the Rain Deck spray nozzles by screwing them into the Rain Deck housings.
