To install the Waterway 540-6410 Renegade Gunite Skimmer, please follow these steps:
1. Determine the desired location for the skimmer in your gunite pool. It is typically installed in the sidewall of the pool, near the surface of the water.
2. Use a template or the skimmer itself to mark the outline of the skimmer on the pool wall.
3. Using a suitable cutting tool, carefully cut out the marked area on the pool wall to create a hole for the skimmer.
4. Clean the cut area and ensure it is free from any debris or rough edges.
5. Apply PVC primer and glue to the socket ends of the skimmer and the corresponding PVC pipes that will be connected to it.
6. Insert the skimmer into the hole in the pool wall, making sure it is aligned properly.
7. Connect the PVC pipes to the skimmer sockets, ensuring a secure and tight connection.
8. If using an overflow hose, connect it to the 1" socket provided on the skimmer.
9. Install the skimmer basket into the skimmer body, ensuring it locks securely in place.
10. If desired, install the optional float valve or skimmer test kits according to the manufacturer's instructions.
11. Close the spring-loaded weir door to prevent debris from entering the skimmer when not in use.
12. Test the skimmer for proper flow and functionality by running water through it.
Please note that these instructions are a general guide, and it is always recommended to consult the specific user guide provided by Waterway for detailed installation instructions and any additional considerations specific to your pool setup.
