Use a small piece of sandpaper to smooth out the cut end of the
discharge pipe. Clean the 2" socket fitting on the bottom of the check
valve and the cut end of the discharge pipe with PVC cleaner/primer.
Apply PVC glue and insert the discharge pipe into the 2" socket fitting.
Hold the discharge pipe firmly in place for a few seconds, giving the
glue time to set.
Attach the Triton Check Valve to the TidalWave pump by threading the
discharge pipe into the pump discharge.
Place the TidalWave pump with installed Triton Check Valve into the
Pump Vault. Connect the outlet fitting of the Triton Check Valve to the
PVC supply line that feeds the waterfall using PVC glue and cleaner. For
your convenience; 2" and 1½" outlet fittings are supplied with the Triton
Check Valve.
Complete installation by hand tightening the union nuts on the Triton
Check Valve. Do not over tighten. For more detailed instructions, refer to
the instruction booklet included with the check valve.
AF1000 AUTO FILL KIT
Drill points or flat areas have been provided for the proper Auto Fill location on either side
of the Pump Vault. It is a good idea to completely install the pump, check valve assembly,
and discharge hose before you drill for the Auto Fill. This will help you determine the best
side of the Skimmer or Pump Vault to place the Auto Fill so that it has proper clearance on
all sides. The center point of the Auto Fill should be located approximately 1½ to 2" above
the normal operating water level of the basin.
Once you have determined the location of the Auto Fill, drill a ⅞" hole using a spade bit or
hole saw. Insert the Auto Fill, making sure the gasket is on the water side of the unit, and
the plastic retaining nut is on the outside. Thread the retaining nut onto the Auto Fill Valve,
being careful not to over-tighten.
AUTO-FILL
VALVE
The Auto Fill Kit includes fittings for connection to a garden hose, ½" irrigation line, and ½"
Sch 40 PVC. Wrap the ½" male threads on the Auto Fill with thread sealant and install the
fitting of your choice. Once water is supplied to the Auto Fill it will maintain the set water
level by automatically adding water when the level drops. This level can be adjusted by
loosening the wing nut and raising and lowering the height of the Auto Fill float.
