  • Page 16: Uxili Ry Equipment Connections

    UXILI RY EQUIPMENT CONNECTIONS Suction from Pool: For safety and to fine tune the system, the pump driving the Water Valve must have suction lines from both the Skimmer and the Debris canister (&/or Active Drain). Additionally, these suction lines must each have a Two-Way valve in-line or a Three-Way Valve to permit correct adjustment to the suction flow.

    PUMP INST LL TION One Pump Systems: Single Pump System The pump must be a high head pump capable of 60 gpm at 70 ft. of head and the filter should be a mini- mum of a 4.9 sand filter with a two inch valve, 36 sq. ft.
  • Page 18: St Rt-Up

    ST RT UP General Observations Concerning Water Valve and Nozzles: As a rule, do not install the module until after filling the pool and running the pump for at least ten minutes. After installing the module run the valve for several cycles to clear the plumbing runs to the pool of debris. Install the nozzles from poolside with the Nozzle installation tool.
