Adaptor Adjustment  

The degree to which the female threaded portion of the return inlet fitting is 
recessed relative to the vertical pool wall face can vary depending on the 
construction of the pool. Where the threads are recessed beyond the reach of 
the short adaptor, the long adaptor should be used. The long adaptor may also 
be cut shorter if required. To change the adaptor, please follow the instruction 
below.  

1.

 

Unscrew the adaptor fixing plate by removing both the gate 
setting screw and the adaptor fixing plate screws. 

 

2.

 

Remove the current adaptor.

 

3.

 

Replace with selected adaptor.

 

4.

 

Reattach the adaptor fixing plate.

 

Exhaust Adjustment  

When your FlowBright is installed into your pool, you might discover that the 
directional exhaust is not located at the bottom of the housing. If this is the 
case, you should adjust your FlowBright. (FlowBright will function at any 
orientation). To adjust your FlowBright, please follow the instruction below. 

 

1.

 

Unscrew the adaptor fixing plate by removing both the gate 
setting screw and the adaptor fixing plate screws. 

 

2.

 

Rotate the adaptor fixing plate and adaptor the correct number 
of degrees until the exhaust is in the correct location. 

 

3.

 

Reattach the adaptor fixing plate screws, along with the gate 
setting screw.
