Operating The Controller; Commonly Asked Questions - S.R.Smith WetDek Instrucciones Para La Instalacion Y Para El Usuario

OPERATING THE CONTROLLER

The control box that operates the WetDek has three buttons, which are used to control the system, and
four lights, as well as a four digit numerical display. The three buttons are labeled "Sel", "Inc/+", and
"Dec/-". The four lights are labeled "Program Select", "Run Time", "Recirc Start", and "Time of Day".
Buttons
Sel This button allows you to change between the different light functions.
Inc/+ This button will increase the variable on the numerical display by one. To
increase time quickly, press and hold the button down
Dec/- This button will decrease the variable on the numerical display by one. To
decrease time quickly, press and hold the button down
Lights
There are five programs to choose in the "Program Select" light, numbered 1-5:
Program Select
program 1 is a set pattern of one zone at a time with variable timeframes,
program 2 is a set pattern of two or three zones for variable timeframes, program
3 is a randomized spray of variable time, program 4 is all of the jets spraying
continuously, and program 5 cycles through all four of the other programs.
Run Time The run time can be set from 1 minute to 23 hours and 59 minutes. The system
will shut itself off after the time frame has elapsed.
Recirc Start The start time for the recirculation function of the control box. It is meant to
control the fourth solenoid valve and determines what time of day that it should
run at. Generally, you would pick a time when the system would not normally be
running because it will take away from the overall performance of the WetDek.
Recirculation is only required on Stand Alone versions of the WetDek.
Time of Day Time of Day is set as a reference for the recirculation line and should remain
constant, even if the box is unplugged because a battery is present to run the
clock.

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. How do you hook up the controller to Pentair, Jandy and Hayward controllers? Just one power
cord going from the SRS box to the controller. It will only use one relay on the automation system and
will only control turning the box on/off.
2. What size pump is required for the pool kit version? The builder should know the capabilities of
the preexisting equipment. The size of the pump and filter will always be determined by the hydraulics
and the body of water. Things like how far away the equipment is, to plumbing size or number of
fittings, can determine this.
3. How thick should the concrete slab be? Should rebar be used? The concrete slab should be 4"
thick, and does not require rebar (although some local codes might require that rebar be used). The
nozzles need to be grounded so this will help; otherwise, copper wire must be connected from each
of the nozzles to a grounding point.
4. What should the slab size be for either a square or round pad for each unit? What about
different shape slab; will SRS help with jet and drain placement? For a 6 nozzle WetDek the
recommended minimum size is either an 11' diameter circle or a 12' x 12' square. This is to minimize
the amount of water lost. Obviously someone could put it in a smaller pad, but an auto-fill would
become a necessity and other issues could come up, so we do not recommend using a smaller pad.
SR Smith can help design custom pads but the customer will be charged for this service.
5. How to keep water from entering the drain in the winter? The easiest way to do this would be to
keep the cover (which is plastic) or use a similar material and place it under the grate and tighten it in
place.
6. Can the nozzles be placed in the deck of a new pool and shoot water into the pool? Yes, there
are endless possibilities for location of the nozzles and this one simplifies the process because of the
removal of a drainage system.
7. How long does it take to complete the whole job on a stand alone with 6 nozzles? Generally 3
days but after completing a few units this should be reduced to 1.5 to 2 days.
