• The vessel must be installed on a 43 cm (17")
length of pipe.

concrete slab to support the weight.

Installation and Operation Manual
• If the vessel is installed below the pool water
level, it must be installed with a check valve. The
check valve will isolate the vessel and prevent pool
draining during installation, cartridge change, or
chlorine tablet addition.
• If plumbing size is greater than 5 cm (2") diameter
or if flow rates are greater than 455 lpm (120
gpm), the vessel must be installed in a bypass
configuration (see Section 3.5).
• If the vessel is used with a water feature line
system, it must be installed in a split-return
configuration or vessel damage may occur (see
Section 3.6).
• Never install the Nature
into copper plumbing as pipe damage may occur. If
brass or bronze backwash valves, or other sensitive
metallic components are installed, consult your
dealer for recommendations on your particular
system.
3.3

Anchoring the Vessel to the

Equipment Pad

In some areas building codes require that all appliances
be securely fastened to the equipment pad in order to
withstand high wind pressures created by hurricanes.
Please follow all local codes and standards.
NOTE Anchor screws and washers for securing the
vessel to the equipment pad are not included
with the vessel. Zodiac Pool Systems Canada,
Inc. ("Zodiac") recommends that a 5.7 cm X
0.6 cm (2¼" X ¼") long stainless steel concrete
screw and stainless steel flat washer are used
to mount each of the two (2) anchors in the
base to the equipment pad.
1. Manually snap on the two (2) clip-type anchor
brackets onto the side feet of the vessel as shown
in Figure 2. Make sure these anchor brackets are
attached firmly to the feet of the vessel.
2. Place the vessel on the pad and mark the location
of each hole of the anchor brackets on the concrete
pad.
3. Drill a 0.5 cm (5/32") hole in the concrete at
each of the two (2) hole locations of the anchor
brackets. The correct size concrete drill bit
should be obtained when the concrete screws are
purchased.
4. Install the screws and washers into each of the two
(2) holes to secure the vessel to the equipment pad.
Do not over-torque the screws.
