1. Pre-plumb BaduStream jet housing(s):
A.
Install plumbing manifold (for two and three jet systems) or
approximately 12" of 4" SCH 40 pipe (for single jet systems)
to both suction and discharge fittings on the jet housing(s).
See Figure 8.
B.
Thread one (1) air regulator hose nipple into the top of each
jet housing. Secure plastic air regulator hose (part #15) to
the air regulator hose nipple(s) (part #14) using the hose
clamp(s) (part #16).
2. Tape the jet housing(s) to keep concrete out of threaded inserts
and out of the inside of the housing(s). See Figure 9.
3. Place the jet housing(s) between the steel rebar. Note: Jet
housing location is very important.
A.
Make sure that the air regulator hose nipple (part #14) is
at the top and center of each jet housing. Failure to do
so will result in the square cover (part #8) appearing
uneven.
B.
The center of each jet housing (the nozzle) must be located
12" BELOW the water line for maximum performance and
efficiency.
C.
Recheck the location of the jet housing while applying
gunite or pouring concrete. Make sure the jet housing
remains properly aligned and level.
D.
Front edge of each jet housing should finish even with
inside pool wall. Scrape out a V-shaped groove around the
jet housing, approximately 1-1/2" deep to allow marcite to
seal against the jet housing. See Figure 10.
E.
To avoid stress on the housing, the jet housing and 2 to 3
inches of plumbing stub out may be encased in gunite or
concrete. Caution: Too much stress on the plumbing may
crack the BaduStream II housing.
4. Install the air regulator. NOTE: Air regulator location should be 3"-4" ABOVE the water level.
A. Thread one (1) air regulator hose nipple (part #14) into the back of the air regulator holder (part #17). Connect the
free end of the plastic air regulator hose to the nipple on the back of the air regulator holder. Secure with a hose clamp
(part #16).
