3.3. CONNECTION OF THE SPA TO THE KIT

Use a hard pipe or flexible hose of an appropriate resistance. Check the regulations in force in
each country. You must use the same pipe diameter as that of the Spa's connection; these
diameters are sized for optimal performance of the kit. Use the right glue for each material.
In any case, it will be necessary to minimize the installation of elbow fittings and pipe length to
reduce the drop of pressure in the installation.
The Spa's connections with couplings are marked with stickers indicating the circuit and the
water flow direction.
To assemble the circuits, follow the diagrams described in section 2 and take into account the
assembly indications indicated below.
Before and after each pump and on the heat exchanger outlet, place a ball or guillotine valve for
carrying out maintenance or replacements on these elements.

3.3.1. Connection of the Recirculation Circuit

3.3.1.1 SPA WITH OVERFLOW:
Spa Connection – Balance Tank
Connect the overflow pipes to the balance tank. The pipes should be sloping sufficiently to
ensure the water evacuates by gravity. Under no circumstance should siphons be created that
could prevent water circulation.
The diameter of the pipes for collecting water from the overflow should be calculated in such a
way that the water does not exceed the recommended speed by the regulations in force.
Connect a drainpipe in the upper part of the balance tank; its function is to evacuate possible
excess water preventing the deposit from overflowing.
Connect the balance tank outlet with the filter pump suction, placing a check valve between the
deposit and the pump. The outlet will have to be placed below or at the same level as the
bottom of the balance tank.
Connection between Balance Tank – Compact Kit
Connect the filter pump outlet to the filter's selector valve (depending on the kit model, this
connection may already been made).
Connect the selector valve outlet with the water inlet of the heat exchanger (depending on the
kit model this connection may already be made).
If your Spa has the ozone option, follow the instructions indicated in the Ozoniser installation
sheet now.
For the selector valve connections, always use plastic accessories, gasket and Teflon tape.
Under no circumstance should you use metal accessories or tubing, which could seriously
damage the plastic components.
Connection between Spa – Compact Kit
If your spa has a spa floor cleaning connection; connect the floor cleaning outlet with the filter
pump inlet making the connection in parallel with the other inlets to this pump. You must place a
ball valve between the outlet and the pump which will normally remain closed.
Option A Spa Floor Suction (see Fig. 3): Connect the Spa floor drain to an inlet in
parallel to the filter pump. Place a ball or guillotine valve between this connections.
Option B Spa Floor Return (see Fig. 4): No operation is required.
