What are the Dimensions of the Swim jet?

Where do I position the Swim Jet in the Hot Tub or Pool.
Firstly, the pool or hot tub should be a minimum of 4m or 14ʹ in length. Otherwise,
there can be a wave that comes off the back wall when you are swimming and can be
off putting.
Secondly, the swim jet nozzle should be 250mm or 10ʺ below the surface. This is the
same regardless of the type of construction method you are using on your pool or
tub.
How do I install the Swim Jet in a Concrete / Block / Gunite / Shotcrete Pool or
Tub?
Firstly, parts 14, the face place and the two rubber gaskets are not needed and can be
discarded.
The Swimjet must be installed with the centre of the swimjet 250mm or 10” below
the water line as the diagram above shows.

This means that the body of the swim jet should be 6.5” or 1650mm from the surface
of the water as shown above.
The key with the installation on Concrete, Block, Gunite or Shotcrete is that
the base of the swim jet (Part #15) is installed so that it is flush against what will be
the finished surface of the Hot Tub, Swim Spa or Pool.
Please refer to the Diagram Below.
In the case of a block build, you will need to leave an appropriate hole, fit the jet body
(Part #15) and then cement around the jet body to secure it firmly in place. Make sure
that the jet is sealed in and watertight so there no leaks.

The physical body of the jet is 260mm in diameter or 10.24”, if you are looking to
leave a hole you should leave 11” diameter so there is adequate space for a concrete
fill and seal around the jet body.
Once the pool or tub surface has been finished with tiles, pool paint or the like, the
next step is to assemble the faceplate.
Firstly, the Air Tubes (for the press buttons part #10) should be attached to the
button for the light (part #3) as well as the button for the pump (part #1). Please note,
you will need to remove the screw nut on the top of them in order to attach the tub.
Before you attach the tub, place the screw nut onto the air tube so it can be
tightened in place afterwards.
With the air tube secured on each of the buttons, slide the protective pipe covers
(part #11) down the air tube to the of the tube where it meets the button. This pipe
cover protects the air lines.
Next, thread the power cord for the LED Light, as well as the two air button tubes out
the back of the base of the swim jet and into the conduit (part #16). You can then
attach part #16 onto the base (part#15) and tighten part #17 the cable gland.
Please note, the final position for parts #16 and #18, should be above the water line
as shown in the final installation diagram below.
Next, part #8, the support frame should be slid into place firmly in the base (part #15)
and then screwed into place using the M6 screws (part #12)
Finally, the face place (part #6) should be placed over the supporting frame (part#8)
and screwed into place using the M5 screws x 4 (part#5)
Please see the separate section on how to wire the Swim jet.

How to install the Swim Jet on a Liner Pool.
The Swimjet must be installed with the centre of the swimjet 250mm or 10” below
the water line as the diagram above shows.
This means that the body of the swim jet should be 6.5” or 1650mm from the surface
of the water as shown above.
The key with the installation is that the base of the swim jet (Part #15) is installed so
that it is flush against what will be the finished surface of the Hot Tub, Swim Spa or
Pool, right up to the liner.
Please refer to the Diagram Below.

Next, the 16 holes need to be cut/spiked through the liner so that the rubber gasket
(O ring) (Part #14) can be placed either side of the liner as shown below.
The plastic holding ring, or compressed ring can then be screwed into place with the
16 screws. This will make a tight seal onto the liner using the O Ring Gaskets and
retainers (Part #14)
Once the liner holder is in place, the next step is to assemble the faceplate.
Firstly, the Air Tubes (for the press buttons part #10) should be attached to the
button for the light (part #3)as well as the button for the pump (part #1). Please note,
you will need to remove the screw nut on the top of them in order to attach the tub.
Before you attach the tub, place the screw nut onto the air tube so it can be
tightened in place afterwards.
With the air tube secured on each of the buttons, slide the protective pipe covers
(part #11) down the air tube to the of the tube where it meets the button. This pipe
cover protects the air lines.
Next, thread the power cord for the LED Light, as well as the two air button tubes out
the back of the base of the swim jet and into the conduit (part #16). You can then
attach part #16 onto the base (part#15) and tighten part #17 the cable gland.
