PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS
Plumb system in accordance with ‘RECOMMENDED HYDRAULIC SCHEMATIC” on page 3, local codes
and the following guidelines.
Bring all lines back to the equipment pad.
1. Spa should be at or above the level of the pool.
If spa is attached to pool, provide a dam between the two bodies of water to allow spa overflow into pool.
If spa is not attached to pool, an overflow, sufficient in size to carry full pump-flow, must be installed at
water level in the spa.
2. Plumb a three-port Intake Valve on the suction-side of the filter pump, so that center port of valve is
connected to the pump inlet.
Connect spa suction to one side of Intake Valve, and pool suction to the other side.
3. Plumb a three-port Return Valve on the return-side of the heater, so that return water will enter valve
through the center port.
Connect spa return to one side of Return Valve, and pool return to the other side.
4. A ½ in. spa make-up line (incorporating a ½ in. manual gate or ball valve and, for elevated spas, a ½ in.
check valve) may be provided to bypass the pool return line. This will enable some of the chemicallybalanced water from the pool to cycle through the spa. The manual valve will allow the amount of bypass
to be adjusted.
5. If the spa is to be constructed in concrete, special provision should be made at this time for the installation
of the Spa-side Remote Control.
Select a convenient location in the deck or above water level in the spa wall (where the Spa-side Remote
will not be submerged by the spa water), and install a 6 in. to 12 in. length of 1 in. PVC pipe to provide a
receptacle for the Spa-side Remote. The pipe should be level and protrude beyond the finished surface of
the spa. It will be cut back at a later date. Reduce pipe size down to ½ in. or ¾ in. conduit, and run to
proposed Load Center location at equipment pad. Use sweep elbows for turns.
The Spa-side Remote will not be installed until spa construction is complete.
6. For systems which incorporate a skimmer, it is possible to balance the amount of suction between the
skimmer and main drain for maintenance purposes.
This is easily accomplished by installing a manual three-port mixing valve at the suction line.
Plumb one port to the skimmer and the other to the main drain.
7. If a “non-booster pump” pressure-side pool cleaner is being used, plumb a manual three-port valve
between the filter pump and filter, with the third port plumbed to the pool cleaner line, and install a
motorized two-port Pool Cleaner Valve at this line. The motorized valve will automatically open
whenever the Control System activates the pool cleaner.
8. If a booster pump pool cleaner is being used, plumb the booster pump so that its suction-side is connected
to the pool return, after the heater and as close to the ground as practical.

INSTALL 4-FUNCTION SPA-SIDE REMOTE CONTROL
The iS4 may be used in conjunction with IntelliTouch Control Systems to provide remote switching of four control
circuits from the spa location. It is typically used for activating spa circulation and three auxiliary pieces of equipment
(such as lights, jet pump, air blower, etc.). The red LED status light comes on steady in Spa mode and flashes while
heating.
Location
The iS4 spa-side remote is a double-insulated, waterproof device that is UL-listed (to UL 1563). Recommended
installation is four inches above the water’s edge for convenient longer life. The remote control may be mounted in the
tile line or in the deck within arm’s reach of a spa occupant. It can be used with a gunite spa, acrylic spa, or hot-tub.
However, in order to install the spa-side remote into the wall of a gunite spa, provision must be made while the spa is
being plumbed.
NOTE: If the Load Center to which the spa-side remote is connected is not located above the spa water level,
a junction box should be provided (above water level).
Gunite Spa Application
When plumbing the spa, install a 3 in. to 6 in. length of 1 in. Sch. 40 PVC pipe (perpendicular to the spa wall) to
provide a receptacle for the spa-side remote. It is
advisable that this pipe be plumbed as level as
Remote
possible. However, the unique “eyeball” design
built into the remote will compensate for a
1 in. PVC
discrepancy of up to 15°. See Figure 11.
Conduit
The pipe should protrude beyond the finished
surface of the spa, as it will be cut back after
surface-finishing is completed. Outside the spa,
the conduit size may be reduced down to ½ in.
or ¾ in., and run to the Load Center. Use sweep
elbows for turns.
NOTE: For new gunite spa installations, the
iS4 Mounting Adapter has no purpose and can
be discarded.
~15˚ (MAX.)
When the spa construction is completed, cut back
the 1 in. dia. PVC conduit receptacle flush with
the spa wall finish or surface of deck. Run
spa-side remote cable through conduit and into
Load Center low voltage raceway. Strip the
conductors at the Load Center by ¼ in. Use
Figure 12 and the color call-out description on
back of remote to wire unit to six position terminal
connector on back of Load Center control panel
labeled SPA-SIDE REMOTE 1 or 2.
Figure 11.
NOTE: Do NOT affix unit with epoxy
to enable future upgrades.
Affix remote to 1 in. dia. PVC conduit using a small amount of caulking or RTV. Orient unit per Figure 13 for optimum
usage by spa occupant. Attach appropriate labels to remote.
