Page 5 Technical Speciﬁ cations Pool Criteria The Velocity swim jet is suitable for use in both saltwater and freshwater pools. In order to maintain and prolong the lifespan of the unit, your pool’s chemistry should be regularly checked and maintained. Parameters are as follows: Temperature min 10°, max 32°C Free Chlorine...
Page 6 Installing the Inverter Drive unit The Inverter drive unit must be wall mounted on a stable wall that can bear its weight, using appropriate ﬁ xings (not supplied). It must be wall hung, in order to ensure free air circulation around the heat sink on the rear.

Page 8: Installing The Remote Control
Installing the Remote Control • Mount the receiver unit on a wall near the pool • Mount in a place where it can be easily seen from where the remote control will be normally be used (maximum 50m away). • Safely and tidily run suitable wiring from the receiver back to the inverter drive’s terminal block and wire as shown.
Page 9 Installing the Hydraulic Power Pack The Hydraulic Power Pack consists of a tank (to be ﬁ lled with hydraulic ﬂ uid), a 5hp 3-phase motor, a ﬁ lter, pressure gauge and ﬂ ow and return ﬁ ttings. The motor powers a pump within the tank, which generates high-pressure circulation of the hydraulic ﬂ...
Page 10: Installing The Hoses
Installing the Hoses Supplied with the unit are ﬂ ow and return hydraulic hoses. They are SAE 100R8 thermoplastic 1/2” hose with a maximum pressure rating of 245 bar. The hoses are 7.5m long. The hoses are supplied complete with ﬁ ttings. Do not overtighten. The hoses are pre-ﬁ tted to the jet unit and are colour coded.
Page 11 The unit can be installed on any type of pool provided the structure can maintain the unit’s weight. Suitable pool types: • Shotcrete/Concrete/Gunite (tiled or lined) • Fibreglass (tiled or lined) • HeatForm Panels (lined) • Other panel pool systems The unit is suitable for both new pools and retroﬁ tting.
Page 12 Installing the Jet unit Do not stand, sit or lean on the jet housing. Do not use the unit as a table or drinks rest, or as a diving board. Step 1 - Determine water line The Velocity unit sits with the top of the unit itself on the water line, with the cap above the water.
Page 13 Installing the Jet unit Step 2 - Assess and determine jet location Decide where to put the jet. Bear in mind hose routing, pool exit routes, and ensure an adequate distance from the side walls (1m) and facing walls (4m) of the pool. The Velocity unit has a sturdy HDPE bracket on the rear, which hangs on two stainless steel studs protruding through the pool wall.
Page 14 Installing the turbine Step 3 - Mark and drill holes for wall studs and hoses Drill two holes 95mm deep, 12mm diameter as per the above. Insert the Chemﬁ x capsule into the hole. Insert the anchor bolt and tighten. The bolt will burst the capsule and the chemical anchor substance will ﬁ...
Page 15 Installing the turbine Step 5 - Hang the unit Do not hold the jet unit by the hoses. Remove the lid of the Turbine housing. Push the hoses through the hose glands in the pool wall, prior to lowering. Lower the unit into the pool. It is wise to have one person in the pool to assist in positioning the unit over the mounting studs.
Page 16 Installing the turbine Step 7 - Connections Connect the hoses at the Power Pack. Ensure the ﬂ ow and return hoses are the right way round. Connect the power cables from the mains supply to the inverter drive, and the 3-phase cable from the drive to the power pack.
Page 17 Installing the turbine Installing the Velocity unit in a panel pool The procedure is identical to a normal installation, however rather than using the chemical capsules to ﬁ x the M10 stainless hanging studs, use the supplied square washer and nut on the back of the panel.
Page 18 Using a recess and vanity wall When the Velocity unit has been ordered as part of a HeatForm panel pool, it is possible to locate the jet in a recess and hide the jet unit with a vanity wall as shown.
Page 19 Using a recess and vanity wall Otherwise the installation process is exactly the same as before. Directions for installing the vanity wall are included with the HeatForm pool.
Page 20 If this is the case, contact Lighthouse/HeatForm to order suﬃ cient ﬂ uid. The ﬂ uid used in your Velocity swim jet is non-toxic vegetable oil. It is not intended for human consumption.
Page 21 Filling and starting the system Prior to running the unit for the ﬁ rst time, check: • Hoses are connected at both ends • The hoses are not crossed (i.e. ﬂ ow and return are correctly ﬁ tted) • The earth terminal is connected on the jet •...
Page 22: Operating The System
Operating the system The Velocity swim jet is operated by a four button remote control. One button will turn the unit on or off. Buttons + and - will turn the speed up or down in steps. Should you turn the unit off, it will “remember” the speed it was running at, and next time you turn it on, it will gradually ramp up to that speed setting once more.
Page 23 Operating the system Buttons normally inactive when remote connected Running speed or power Buttons normally inactive when Press to change remote connected display format (cycles through A, Hz, RPM) Buttons normally inactive when remote connected The Inverter Drive is capable of displaying error messages, most of which you should never see.
