INSTALL THE VARIABLE FLOW

VALVE ASSEMBLY

NOTE: Do not use flexible tubing for this tubing

section, and do not add additional elbows or

fittings between the variable flow valve and the

pump elbow and union assembly. If water does not

completely drain from the tower and variable flow

valve assembly, the resulting air pocket will

prevent the pump from priming, and the BodySpa

will not work.
Loosely hand tighten the mounting frame union

nut to the variable flow valve assembly so the

elbow faces toward the pump outlet. Loosely hand

tighten the pump elbow and union assembly to the

pump outlet so it faces toward the variable flow

valve assembly. Measure and cut a length of

1Ć1/4Ćinch (I.D.) rigid PVC tubing to connect the

variable flow valve to the pump outlet. Do not

solvent weld the PVC connections at this time. Use

a level and measuring tape to ensure a minimum

1/4Ćinch per foot pitch toward the pump.

CAUTION: Risk of personal injury. The

red and black wire leads must be connected

exactly as instructed to prevent the variable

flow valve from operating in reverse.

Locate the red and black wire lead cable at the

back of the pump. Connect the red wire lead to the

positive <+> variable flow valve terminal. Then

connect the black wire lead to the negative <->

terminal. Check that the wire leads are connected

to the correct terminals before proceeding.
