INSTALLATION STEPS
VINYL/FIBERGLASS POOL INSTALLATION STEPS
1. Use a 3.5″ hole saw and cut a hole in the desired location of the 4″
Bubbler.
2. Use template included with your Vinyl Faceplate Kit to drill six holes
around the 3.5″ hole using an 11/64″ or #17 drill bit.
3. Install one gasket under the vinyl, or fiberglass, and one on the water
side.
4. Secure the Vinyl Trim Ring with the 6 x M4 Stainless Steel Screws included
with your Vinyl Liner Kit.
Fiberglass installation may require longer M4 Stainless Steel Screws (not included).
VINYL LINER KIT PART LIST
- Decorative Ring
- 2x Gaskets
- M4 Stainless Steel Screws (6)
- Cutting Template
GUNITE INSTALLATION STEPS
- Install gunite up to flange of the Main Body.
- Use Pressure Test Cap (25503-460-208) as a debris guard while installing gunite.
- Determine finishing height of the plaster.
- The finishing height of the plaster should line up just below the top of the Floating Collar.
- The Floating Collar is designed to allow up to 0.5″ of adjustability before gluing, to better match the final plaster height.
- Glue Floating Collar into main body using PVC glue.
- Wait for glue to dry then install the plaster to just below the top of the Floating Collar.
Make certain that all screws and hex nuts are hand tight before pressure testing the unit
PLUMBING & ELECTRICAL DIAGRAMS
GENERAL PLUMBING GUIDE
- Water inlet is 1.5″ PVC socket.
- Power inlet is 1.5″ conduit socket.
- A minimum of one (1.5″ x 90°) sweep conduit required. After this, 1″ conduit can be used to the junction box.
- Water depth must be between 2″-12″.
- Beach entry slope must not exceed 1/12 grade to keep plume perpendicular with water surface.
- Pressure test all pipe fittings according to your local building codes.
- Your 4″ Bubbler is shipped ready to pressure test.
GENERAL ELECTRICAL DIAGRAM
- Connect CMP 4″ Bubbler LED Light Module to a 12V AC transformer. Listed, outdoor rated 12VAC transformer must be used. Check that the transformer’s wattage and amperage are not exceeded by the total wattage and amperage in use (load).
- CMP 4″ Bubbler LED Light Module (25503-460-900) final operating depth must be at least 2″ underwater.
- A minimum of one (1.5″ x 90°) sweep or 12″ of straight conduit must be installed into the electrical socket on the bottom of the 4″ Bubbler.
- Use sweeps only in electrical conduit line. No 90° bends.
STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION GUIDE
1. Post and level the 4″ bubbler unit.
2. Install plumbing using PVC glue. Make sure screws are tight then pressure test the unit.
3. Install conduit. 1.5″ × 90° sweep required. Can use 1″ conduit to the junction box.
4. Remove screws and nuts. Leave cap for debris guard. Install concrete/gunite to top of unit.
5. Remove Pressure Test Cap, pressure o-ring and the stopper assembly.
6. Determine plaster height. Use PVC glue and install collar with plaster height slightly below top of collar.
7. Replace Pressure Test Cap as a debris guard. Install plaster up to slightly below the top of the collar.
8. Install electric cable to a 12VAC transformer. Leave 18″- 24″ service loop at the control box.
9. Apply lubricant to bottom of LED module. Install LED module with Installation Tool. Rotate clockwise until it clicks.
10. Install L-gasket making sure it is seated properly in the groove. Apply lubricant to top of L-gasket. Install large lens using the Installation Tool. Rotate clockwise until you feel a “click” and the lens stops rotating.
11. Install orifice disc into the eyeball. Install eyeball into large lens by rotating 90° and inserting. Rotate eyeball to desired position.
VINYL/FIBERGLASS ONLY INSTALLATION STEPS
All installation steps are the same for vinyl/fiberglass installation as they are for gunite installation, except the adjustable collar comes pre-glued from our factory for the vinyl/fiberglass units.
1. Cut hole in desired location using 3.5″ hole saw. Use paper template to drill 6 holes using 11/64 drill bit.
2. Secure bubbler to vinyl/fiberglass shell using Trim Kit.
3. To pressure test, install Pressure Test Cap and O-Ring into bubbler. Rotate clockwise until it stops rotating. Pressure test the unit. Remove cap, and stopper.
OPERATING PROCEDURES
WATER PATH OPERATING PROCEDURES
- The adjustable Eyeball can be angled up to 25° from vertical.
- The Orifice Disk snaps into the Eyeball.
- Two orifice size options are included with your 4″ Bubbler: 3/8″ and 1/2″.
- A smaller orifice opening will have higher water pressure and plume height.
- A larger orifice opening will have lower water pressure and plume height.
- Flow control valve can be adjusted to meet desired performance.
The Stopper Assembly can be used for installing Orifice Discs. (see pg 3)
PERFORMANCE CHART
- Factors such as water flow rate, orifice size and water depth above the orifice will all contribute to the final look of the plume height. The performance chart below can be used as a reference in deciding how to install your 4″ Bubbler.
Results may vary.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
WINTERIZING STEPS
- Remove the eyeball from the large lens by rotating eyeball 90° and lifting out vertically.
- Remove the large lens by inserting the top of the installation tool into the eyeball cavity like a key, then rotating counter-clockwise.
- Remove the large lens from the floating collar using the installation tool then replace the eyeball back into the large lens for storage.
- Remove the L-gasket that is directly below the large lens.
- Remove the LED light module using the installation tool.
- Secure the wire inside main body, use tape to prevent the cord from retracting back into the conduit.
- Use an air compressor to blow the water line free of water.
- Install the pressure test cap (25503-460-208) on the bubbler for the duration of winter.
- Store the large lens with eyeball, L-gasket, and LED light module in a dry place for winter.
- Do not damage or misplace the sealing L-Gasket that in underneath the large lens.
- To remove the LED Light Module, insert the four snaps on the Installation Tool into the four snap receptors on the small LED lens. Use a 3/8″ socket extender to insert into the square hole on the top of the Installation Tool. Rotate counter-clockwise until you feel a click. Then keep rotating until the Light Module unseals itself from the conduit. Pull the Installation Tool upwards and remove the LED Light Module.
When removing the LED Light Module, make sure to not let the power cable fall back down into the conduit. Use tape or a paper clip around the power cord to prevent this from happening prior to disconnecting.
NOTES
TROUBLE SHOOTING/FAQ
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Problem
| Solution 1|
Solution 2
---|---|---
Large Lens is hard to install and/or remove.| Apply O-Ring lubricant to the
top of the L-Shaped gasket under the large lens| Make sure L-Gasket is
properly aligned and seated in the groove.
Light Module is hard to install and/or remove.| To install, push the module
down with force to seal the bottom O-Rings in the electrical conduit socket.
Use the Installation Tool, a 3/8″ socket wrench, and a 3/8″ socket extender to
help turn the Light Module clockwise until it reaches the locked position.| To
remove, use the Installation Tool, a 3/8″ socket wrench, and a 3/8″ socket
extender to turn the Light Module counter-clockwise. Ramps in the Center Wheel
will help un-seal the O-Rings from the conduit socket as it rotates.
LED Light Module flashes and then goes dark.| Make sure you are using a 12VAC
transformer not 120V directly from a power outlet.| Make sure you are using a
12VAC transformer (not sold by CMP) and not the CMP 12V DC Power Supply
(25650-110-200).
Can not pull the LED Light Module out of the Bubbler unit.| No slack was left
in the line. Provide slack on the power cable by coiling some extra wire on
the control box side of the installation.| Have another person help by pushing
the electric cable from the control box side of the installation.
Swirling or sloshing water| The 4″ Bubbler was installed too close to a wall
or other feature in the pool which causes a harmonic wave to occur in the
water. Angle the eyeball differently to change the water harmonics.| Try
changing your GPM flow rate using a flow control valve.
