Spa Guidelines to Keep in Mind
Whether replacing an older control system, or if designing a new spa system,
keep these guidelines in mind.
The suction system for the 2-speed pump or for the circ pump must 1.
be dedicated. There must not be any other pumps connected to this
suction system.
The suction system for the 2-speed pump or for the circ pump must include 2.
the following:
a. 2 suction fittings, or
b. 1 suction fitting and a skimmer.
If the suction system for the 2-speed pump or for the circ pump includes 3.
a filter, it is desirable that the filter incorporate a by-pass around the
filter cartridge that opens when the cartridge gets dirty. (Spring tension
holding the by-pass valve closed must be overcome by the vacuum of the
pump.) This by-pass should be capable of flowing a minimum of 20 GPM
during the low speed operation of the 2-speed pump or during circ pump
operation with the cartridge 100% blocked. The inclusion of a suction fitting
appropriately plumbed into the suction circuit in conjunction with a vacuum
filter may also meet this requirement.
The pressure system for the 2-speed pump or for the circ pump must 4.
be dedicated. There must not be any other pumps connected to this
pressure system.
