WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions and comply with all applicable
codes may cause serious bodily injury and/or property damage.

The installation of this product should be carried out by a person knowledgable in
spa pool plumbing requirements following the Installation Instructions provided in
this manual.

Please pass these instructions on to the operator of this equipment.

This diagram provides Davey’s recommendation

for the safe installation of skim lters in spa pools.

Please refer to the applicable standards

within the market you operate.

WARNING: A secondary suction point is required in a skim lter installation to

prevent entrapment of hair and body.

NOTE: MULTIPLE PUMP SYSTEMS: Always ensure that a minimum of two suction

points are installed per pump.

Safety Notice – Q1005 Models

Compliance to AS 1926.3 – 2010 (Section 5.4 Child Resistant Lid)

If the top cover plate of a Q1005 skim lter is removed, and the skimmer weir is fully
submerged, it will create suction at the top of the skimmer box. This could be hazardous to
persons in close proximity to the skim lter.

To overcome this potential hazard the top cover MUST be either permanently glued down or

covered by a lockable niche plate / cover to prevent removal of this lid.

Vent to atmosphere:

Compliance to AS 1926.3 - 2010 (Section 5.4 & 5.5)

The range of Davey Skim Filter models now include a vent screwed into the top of the lter. The

purpose of this vent is to provide a vacuum relief in the event the skimmer weir is fully submerged.

When the lter is tted, connect a rigid hose line (min 20mm in diameter) and run it to a suitable

location away from electrical equipment.

Note: A spa skim lter is designed to operate at a water level half way up the weir door. If the spa is
lled above this level, water may escape via the vent hose.
