Winterizing Instructions - Paramount PCC2000 Manuel D'installation

Winterizing a Paramount Pool & Spa Systems in-floor pool is the
same as any pool with a main drain; it just has a few more lines to
winterize. These procedures are to be used in addition to standard
winterization methods normally used in your area.
To Do List:
Store the Paramount valve module, canister inner lid and basket
in a safe, dry place.
Remove and store any "down-jets" located above the freeze line.
blowout and airlock all pool lines.
Remove all water from the canister and replace with swimming
pool anti-freeze and an empty jug, the same way you winterize
skimmers.
The following steps are procedures recommended for proper
winterization of all Paramount In-Floor Cleaning Systems. These
procedures do not replace normal winterization procedures but are
instead in addition to them.
For drain winterization instructions consult
manufacturers instructions for that drain.
Paramount Canister Winterization
1. Remove outer lid, inner lid and basket, clean and dry off, and
store in same area as modules
2. Install and secure regular winterization plug in equalizer line of
canister to pool at poolside.
3. Install and secure Schrader plug or blow out plug from canister
to main drain. blow out and obtain air lock as previously
described, if skimmer is tied into canister, repeat procedure to
skimmer.
4. bottom port of canister to pump may require an extended pipe
for ease of blowing out. Install and blow out line from canister
to pump. Install and secure plug in pump. Using a wet/dry shop
vac, remove all water from within canister components.
5. Extension pipe can be removed and replaced with plug or Gizmo
type container if Gizmo not used. be sure to install device to
absorb ice expansion in canister area. Failure to do this may
result in potential ice freeze damage to canister.
Winterization anti-freeze is to be used as necessary or when
required.

(threaded or slip) including down jet
body for a secure fit of winterizing
plug. Store with module(s). (See
Fig. 3)
4. From valves to pool, place a
Schrader plug or blow out plug as
recommended. Install and secure
Schrader or blow out plugs in all
parts of valve(s) (except center feed
port of second and multiple valves
when multiple valves are being
used). Proceed to blow out lines
through Schrader or blow out plugs
to pool. (See Fig. 4)
5. While blowing out the in-floor
nozzles, once a good amount of
air has come through the nozzle,
you have accomplished an air
lock. (This procedure is similar to
obtaining an air lock when blowing
out the bottom drain in the pool.)
blow out center port of first
valve back to filter equipment
and plug.
6. While blowing out the down
jets and while air is escaping
through the in-wall hole,
install and secure a regular
winterizing plug. Repeat until all ports are blown out. (See Fig. 4)
7. In cases where multiple valves are in use, blow out the feeder
port of the first valve into the center port of the second or
multiple valve(s), install, and secure plug.
