The Filter
Determine where the filter should be placed so the feeder hoses allow a smooth run from the faucet to the filter and from the filter to the pump without kinking or appearing awkward. Place the filter bracket on the wall and mark the four holes where you want it attached. Drill the 4 holes with a 3/16th inch bit if using size 8-10 anchors. If attaching to a wood surface simply drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the screws to be used. Put a double wrap of Teflon tape around each male brass NPT fitting on the feeder hoses. Open the filter assembly install the white filter in the canister; drop the time release anti-scale cartridge, which appears like a test tube in shape, into the filter cartridge. Hand-tighten the canister top, using the supplied spanner wrench for one last torque if necessary.
Screw the hoses into the filter canister, being careful to put the proper hose on the "In" female threads and on the "Out" female threads. Now screw on the female brass fitting on the "Out" hose to the "In" fitting on the pump using a suitable wrench. Since the hoses are attached to the filter canister you must rotate the canister as you thread on the hose to the pump. Attach the filter bracket to the wall using the supplied screws and then screw the canister to the bracket. Finally, attach the female hose fitting to your water source.
The Nozzles
Made of ceramic, our patented nozzles should give you years of excellent use. They should be double wrapped with Teflon tape and screwed in the nozzle assembly with a 14 mm wrench or socket wrench. Screw on firmly, but do not over tighten. When the pump is turned on, the nozzles should emit a cone shaped mist pattern. If it happens to squirt a stream it is an easy fix. Simply remove the nozzle from the assembly, pull the plug from the back of the nozzle, blow off the dust, snap the white check valve back into the nozzle and replace in the brass assembly.
The nozzle assembly is placed in the centre of the fan. Take off the emblem from fan centre, revealing a hole about the size of a half dollar. Screw the back bar nut through the large washer and into the threaded rear of the nozzle assembly. Only thread it on enough to secure them...very loose. Angle the bar nut down into the hole in the centre of the fan, slide it back along the inside and pull the assembly away from the fan so the bar nut presses on the inside of the front of the fan cage. Then, keeping pressure on the bar nut twist the nozzle assembly until it snugs up to the fan. Adjust the nozzle assembly so the hose fitting aims where you wish to bring in the high pressure fitting. This will usually be from the top.
The Fans
Using the supplied hardware hang the fans where desired. Remember that each fan requires its own power source. Alternatively, you can have an electrician hard wire them on one line to be operated by a single wall switch. For best results place the fans five or six feet away from where you expect people to be. If installing the two headed "Dual Breeze" all necessary instructions are included in the box. It is very similar to hanging a common paddle fan and is best performed by a licensed electrician.
The Tubing
Run the high pressure tubing to the fans. Begin by cutting a small piece of tubing (1-2 Feet) with the supplied cutters and snap one end into the slip lock or compression "Out" fitting on the pump. Be sure all tubing is cut with a straight perpendicular cut. If not, the fittings may leak. Attach the pressure relief valve and then run the tubing out the other end toward the fans. Tube hangers are supplied and more are available at any hardware store.
Use the 90 degree elbows for going around corners and when you get to a fan utilize a 3 way slip lock fitting or compression tee (provided). If using compression, be sure to use a suitable wrench to tighten well onto the tubing. Cut a piece of tubing a little too long for the run to the nozzle. Attach to nozzle first, zip tie the tubing in a few places to snug it up to the fan, use the cutters to cut off any excess tubing, and firmly insert into the Tee.
Run tubing to successive fans in like manner. On the final (and farthest fan from the pump) use a 90 degree elbow fitting rather than a Tee. Before connecting the last nozzle turn on water supply a half turn and start the pump. Run pump for a minute allowing any dust and air bubbles to purge from the lines. Turn off water and pump, attach tubing to the last nozzle and the system should be ready.
Start up the water and pump. If there is a leak in the system you will know it quickly. The pump should pressure up to 1000 PSI if all is well. If you have a leaky fitting, turn off water and pump. Fix the problem being sure to dry the tubing where it enters the fittings. Restart the water and pump.
NEVER OPERATE THE PUMP WITHOUT WATER ON. IT WILL BURN UP PUMP!
