FINISHING:
7. Before plastering or applying the finish to the
pool, cut the 11
/
2″discharge line so that it will
finish flush to the final finish surface. Do not
obstruct this line with an eyeball, main drain
covers or other type of fitting. It must remain
fully open to assure proper functioning.
8. Before plastering, remove the test plug and
install the threaded venturi fitting into the
threaded return fitting inside the skimmer.
9. Install the 3″long PVC sleeve, that is sup-
plied, into the discharge fitting directly oppo-
site the venturi fitting. DO NOT GLUE THE 3″
SLEEVE INTO THE FITTING! This must
remain unglued so that a threaded plug can
be threaded into the bottom port in the event
that winterizing is necessary.
OPERATION:
10. The venturi skimmer may be operated
simultaneously with the normal skimmer
function or the suction from the pump may
be shut off allowing only venturi powered
skimming action taking place. Either way, a
much stronger skimming action will result
when compared to a standard skimmer.
NOTE:
The valve controlling the suction should be left
slightly open. There are occasions when the
pump may be “starved” when 100% of the suc-
tion is coming through the main drains only.
