Waterway | MANIFOLD | 12-PORT 2" SLIP X 2" SLIP X 3/4" RIBBED BARB | 672-4980
The Waterway 672-4980 Manifold, featuring 12 ports and designed with a 2" x 2" x 3/4" ribbed barb, is essential to regulating water flow in a spa or hot tub system. Its intricate design, comprised of 12 ports, permits simultaneous water flow across multiple jets for uniform performance.
Installing this component requires careful attention to placement within the water circulation system. It should be appropriately linked to the pump, ensuring that the 2" ends align with the primary inflow and outflow channels while the 3/4" ribbed barbs connect directly to the individual jets.
When maintenance is necessary, say, for instance, the system exhibits uneven water pressure or visible leakage around the manifold, it might indicate a need for replacement. Exchanging the Waterway 672-4980 Manifold is typically straightforward, involving disconnection from the existing channels and jets and installing the new unit.
Maintenance of the manifold mainly consists of ensuring its structural integrity. Regular inspections to detect any cracks or leaks can significantly prolong its life. Also, winterizing the hot tub or spa in colder climates can protect the manifold from potential freeze damage.
As with any component, understanding the function, installation, and maintenance process for the 672-4980 manifold is crucial for optimal spa or hot tub operation, contributing to a relaxing experience for the users.
