DANGER
Signal Words and Symbols Used In This Manual
This Owner’s Manual and Installation Guide contains specific precautions and symbols to identify safety-
related information. You will find DANGER, CAUTION, WARNING and NOTICE symbols which require
special attention. Please read them carefully and follow these precautions as indicated! They will explain how to
avoid hazards that may endanger you or persons using or maintaining your pool or spa.
SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD:
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY will result if a drain cover or grate is not
installed and used correctly.
• Pool and spa pumps produce high levels of suction and move high volumes of
water, which can cause death or serious injury if a person comes in close proximity to pool or spa drains.
• Keep clear of pool and spa drains to avoid death or serious injury from suction.
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY will result from pool or spa drain covers or
grates that are improperly installed, missing, clogged, or broken.
• Inspect pool and spa before each use to ensure that drain covers and
grates are properly in place and secured.
• Ensure that drain covers are not damaged, cracked, broken, loose, clogged, not properly secured, or
missing because these conditions increase the chance of death or serious injury from entrapment.
• If a drain cover is discovered damaged, cracked, broken, loose, clogged, not properly secured, or
missing, you should:
• Close the pool or spa immediately; and,
• Post a closure notice and keep the pool or spa closed until an appropriate ANSI/APSP -16-2011
certified drain cover is properly installed.
DANGER DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY will result from hair entanglement or
limb entrapment.
• Keep clear of pool and spa drains.
• Hair sucked into pool or spa drains will tangle and knot trapping the
swimmer underwater. Avoid placing your hair near a pool or spa drain.
• Avoid sitting on pool or spa drains because the suction can cause
severe intestinal damage, evisceration, and/or disembowelment.
DANGER
DANGER
DANGER DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY will result from contact with a damaged,
loose, or missing drain cover.
• Do not allow limbs to contact or be inserted into a drain pipe with a
damaged, loose, or missing drain cover. This could result in swelling of
the limb and/or trapping a swimmer underwater.
• Avoid mechanical entrapment of jewelry, swimsuit, hair decorations,
finger, toe, or knuckle in a drain pipe with damaged, loose, or missing
drain cover. This may result in trapping a swimmer underwater.
• Do not allow body to come into contact with a drain pipe that has a
damaged, loose, or missing drain cover. This may result in trapping a
swimmer underwater.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS & WARNINGS:
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can result from pool or spa drain covers or
grates that are clogged by debris.
• All pool and spa drain covers may become obstructed by debris and should be cleaned periodically
due to clogging from debris, such as pieces of plastic, hair, fabric, twigs, leaves, seeds, etc.
• The frequency of periodic cleaning will vary depending on the amount and type of debris introduced
into the pool or spa
• Clogging of the drain cover will increase the suction effect and increase the likelihood of death or
serious injury from those hazards listed above.
• A clogged drain can negatively affect the safety of the drain.
• It is advisable to have a qualified pool or spa professional perform this inspection and debris removal
from the pool an spa drain covers.
• When servicing the drain cover, the pump connected to the suction must be turned off.
• Do not perform any service of the drain cover in water level above your waist.
• Use drain covers only with a pumping system rated for the corresponding flow or less. Failure to do
so can result in hair or body entrapment which can cause death or serious injury. If in doubt about the
rating of your system, consult a qualified pool or spa professional.
• Use only the supplied stainless-steel screws with the drain cover. Screws put into the frame anywhere
except in the original screw holes will not hold and will allow the drain cover to come off the main
drain, causing an entrapment hazard. If a screw hole(s) is stripped, inserts missing, loose, or damaged,
consult your owner’s manual and installation guide for proper steps to replace, correct, or reattach the
compromised drain or drain component.
WARNING Suction can pose a serious hazard to swimmers just as electricity can be a
hazard. Both are important for proper water filtration and both must be treated
with respect. Suction safety begins with a professional design that includes a
quality suction system installed by a certified contractor.
Certified builders will address the following issues when designing and installing a proper filtration system:
• Properly bond-grounded pumps, time clocks, switches and any other metal in or near water. This is required to
address Electrical Shock Hazards.
• Design the suction piping so there are no single-point suction hazards; single-point suction (one drain) is a
leading cause of Body Suction Entrapment Hazards. Note: your certified builder has many effective options for
addressing this hazard; they may include dual-drain systems, like MDX-R3, skimmers, gutters, negative edge
features and many more products and piping designs known to professionals.
• Install ANSI/APSP - 16 - 2011 listed drains, suction covers and debris removal systems. This is the ONLY
approved option for preventing Hair Entrapment Hazards, the leading cause of suction related injuries.
• Design and install an effective circulation system (including optional cleaning systems), to direct filtered water
to all areas and interior surfaces. NOTE: Suction fittings can NOT clean or direct filtered water for proper
sanitation; that can only be done on the pressure (return) side of the filtration system.
While suction injuries are extremely rare, drowning and diving injuries are far too common and there is little
your certified builder can do to eliminate these hazards. You must educate yourself and your guests. Below are
some important safety issues every swimmer must know and recognize.
• PREVENT DROWNING: Watch children at all times, no swimming alone.
• NO DIVING IN SHALLOW WATER: You can be permanently injured.
• PREVENT SUCTION ENTRAPMENT: Inspect suction covers before swimming, keep swimmers away
from suction fittings, protect long hair, don’t swim with loose clothing or large and dangling jewelry.
For more information about the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act, contact the Consumer
Product Safety Commission at [phone] or visit www.cpsc.gov.
Always turn off all power to the pool pump before installing the cover
or working on any suction outlet.
WARNING

The use of two 45˚ in place of a 90˚ allows for the best debris removal
and minimizes large debris from getting caught in the line.
MDX-R3 SYSTEM DESIGN
These MDX-R3 instructions provide two methods to choose from, with additional methods for
specific jurisdictions, (California specifically but not limited to that state). Your local codes may
require additional safety measures. Paramount Pool & Spa Systems and its representatives cannot
recommend or endorse installation methods other than those provided in these MDX-R3 instructions.
Maximum Pump Size:
MDX-R3 is rated for a maximum of 132 GPM (500 LPM). While system
flow rate will vary with pump size and the Total Head Loss for a given
system, virtually any modern pump is capable of exceeding this limit, therefore it is the responsibility of
the system designer to make sure it is not possible to exceed 132 GPM (500 LPM).
NOTICE
In the event of one suction outlet being completely blocked, the remaining suction outlets serving that
system shall have a flow rating capable of the full flow of the pump(s) for the specific suction system.
MDX-R3 and SDX2 must be installed in accordance with Paramount’s
written instruction manual, and in conformity with applicable Federal,
State, Local and Swimming pool industry building and safety codes.
WARNING
NOTICE
NOTICE
Plumbing of the included enlarged suction element (13” of
4” pipe) to the 4" port of the MDX-R3 is required. After the
enlarged suction element, the included reducer adapter may then
be used to reduce the pipe size to 2½”. A 3” coupler may be attached to the outside diameter of
the reducer or a 4” coupler directly to the enlarged suction element for systems where the flow
through the MDX-R3 is intended to exceed 90 GPM. Use of 2½” pipe minimum throughout
the suction side of the system is strongly encouraged for optimum performance. For
your convenience, Paramount Pool & Spa Systems includes the enlarged suction element, and the
reducer adapter with the MDX-R3. To order separately, please see page 12 for the part number.

MDX-R3 Plumbing (Fig. 1)
1. Position the top edge of the MDX-R3 sump 1”
below the finished depth of the pool, spa, or a
basin (Fig. 1). Finish concrete to top edge of
construction cap. Orientate the sump so the
elbow is perpendicular to inside wall or end wall
of pool.
2. Position the REQUIRED SDX2 High Flow
Safety Drain® on a sidewall of the pool below
water level (if pool will be winterized, place it
high enough to reach from the deck). Option:
The SDX2 High Flow Safety Drain may be
positioned on the floor a MINIMUM of three (3)
feet away from any other Suction Outlet.
HYDROSTATIC FITTING
The hydrostatic port inside the MDX-R3 Sump
is equivalent to a 2” Threaded Female Adapter
and a 2” Slip Fitting Outside the MDX-R3 Sump.
This port is for the purpose of a hydrostat only.
Paramount recommends the use of the 2” thread
plug provided. Do not use check valves here that
are prone to sticking open causing the need to
open the drain cover exposing a suction risk. If a
hydrostat is not used, plug this port from bottom
with pipe and cap. Do not install any suction
equipment (pump) to this port!
Pressure Test-READ BEFORE
INSTALLATION: New Style Test Plug
The 4” pressure test plugs (005-252-1610-00)
use an o-ring to make the seal.
Wrap once with Teflon tape to prevent plastic
threads from binding. Insert plug into threaded
socket. Use an adjustable wrench, a 1½” 12 pt
socket or pliers on lug and tighten by hand until
snug. Over tightening may cause parts to break.
Pressure should remain on the system through
construction until interior cleanup.

The SDX2 High Flow Safety Drain® installed
in a concrete shell utilizes a small cutout in the
concrete to form the sump which is sometimes
made of plastic or fiberglass. This concrete sump
provides superior shell strength by eliminating the
large hole associated with plastic sumps. The
water seal is formed against the suction pipe in the
same way a water tight seal is formed with return
pipes. The concrete cutout is typically 280mm
(11”)wide, by 50mm (2”) deep, with a finger
size cutout around the pipe to allow room for a
watertight seal. (Fig. 3)
Rebar Steel (Fig. 5)
Concrete reinforcing steel should be kept 75mm
away from all pipe and fittings.
Concrete Shell Sump (Fig. 3)
Form a concrete sump around each suction pipe.
Concrete Shell Preparation (Fig. 4)
Prior to installing the interior finish, cut each
SDX2 riser pipe approximately 25mm behind the
concrete shell’s surface.

SDX2 CONCRETE INSTALLATION
Suction Safety
Standards require
that main drain
grates used to cover concrete sumps, must
have the suction pipe cut at least 1 ½ times
the pipe diameter behind the drain cover. This
is to allow room for even water flow through all
drain cover holes. This is not necessary with
the SDX2 drain because the Patented Design
provides uniform suction regardless of pipe
location. However, if the pipe is too close to
the surface, it may restrict water flow to the
pump, reducing hydraulic efficiency, but this
does not pose a suction safety hazard.
