Trouble-Shooting - Paramount PCC2000 Manuel D'installation

• When all heads have been installed, check the pressure of each zone on the water valve. The pressure at each zone should be about the same.
• Install all of the down jets adjusting them to direct water down the wall of the pool.
• Restore water flow to the fixed heads and adjust to no more than four psi.
• Adjust MAIN DRAIN LINE by setting the valve at the pump so the skimmer just begins to skim.
• Verify final pressure at the water valve and double check fixed adjustment.
Read the gauge pressure on the top of the water valve or valves. The pressure reading should be 20 to 24 psi on each of the circuits; there will be
a short time that the pressure decreases when the valve is switching ports. Pressure below 20 psi may affect cleaning ability of the system.
1. If the pressure is below 14 psi on all of the circuits, there might not be enough water flow to allow the water valve to operate properly. best
cleaning is achieved at 20 psi on the water valve gauge.
A. Clean the filter.
B. Check the pump sizing.
C. If there is a heater, make sure that it has a bypass on it.
D. Check accessory lines like spa overflows, shear descents, fountains, aerators, and any other source of water being bypassed from the
water valve.
E. Check for obstructions between the pump and the water valve such as venturi for ozone or chlorine feeders.
F. Check to see if one zone of nozzle (s) is staying up all the time, excluding the two fixed nozzles on each side of the main drain.
G. Check the fixed nozzles for proper sizing: 3/8" for 5' to 8' from the main drain, 1/4" for 4' from the main drain, and 1/8" for less than
4' from the main drain. Set the valve for the fixed so they just come to the full up position.
2. If the pressure is below 15 psi on one or more of the circuits.
A. Check the nozzles on the circuits that are low for installation of the correct orifice; if there are two (2) nozzles on the line, they should
have 1/2" orifices in them, three (3) nozzles on a line they should have one 1/2", and two 3/8" orifices in them, four (4) nozzles on a
line, all should have 3/8" orifices.
B. If the pressure is high on any of the circuits. Check that line for rocks or other construction debris. Check that line for the correct
nozzle size.
1 nozzle on a line = (1) 3/4"
2 nozzle on a line = (2) 1/2"
3 nozzle on a line = (1) 1/2" and (2) 3/8"
4 nozzle on a line = (4) 3/8"
