Hydro-Quip 8000 Series Solid-State Systems were designed for indoor or outdoor installations.
This equipment may be used for in-ground as well as aboveground spas.
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
lThe Equipment System must be installed on a firm, level surface
(ie: concrete pad)
lThe area where the system is installed must have adequate
drainage to prevent flooding of the equipment under all
circumstances.
lFor performance reasons locate the system as close to the spa as
practical. (Consult local codes for minimum distance between
equipment and spa)
lProvide adequate access around and above the System for service
and maintenance. Three (3’) of clearance around the equipment is
recommended.
lThe pump(s) provided with the system may or may not be self-
priming. Pumps that are NOT self priming must be installed
BELOW water level or they will not prime.
lAll components such as pump, blower, etc are powered from a
multi-position terminal strip inside the upper control box.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
To assure adequate performance, the spa plumbing must be 1 1/2” minimum. The use of 2” is recommended.
There may be three separate plumbing systems in the spa. Verify the function of each pipe.
1) Suction Side Plumbing - this plumbing will connect to the spa’s skimmer, main drain and suction fittings.
This plumbing connects to the open end of the pump on your Equipment System.
2) Discharge Side Plumbing - this plumbing will go to the spa’s hydrotherapy jet and message fittings. This
plumbing connects to the open end of the heater on your Equipment System.
3) Air Blower Plumbing - this plumbing will go to an air channel under the floor or to an air distribution
manifold of the spa. This plumbing connects only to an air blower.
To allow for safe operation of the spa, the suction fittings connected to the suction opening of the Equipment
System should be listed or approved for the purpose.
ŸEach pump must be provided with two suction fittings. Pump 1 is generally attached to a suction fitting and
a skimmer, while Pump 2 is generally attached to two suction fittings.
After plumbing is complete, secure the Hydro-Quip Equipment System with the appropriate hardware.
