Installing the 'Watercannon' 3

Special notes of interest to perspective buyers of the ‘Watercannon’ 3:

All installations are carefully and thoughtfully planned, while focused on safety and a long-lasting operational capability.

The ‘Watercannon’ 3 needs to always be situated at the deep end of the pool only, and have their own dedicated 220/230 volt, 20 amp outlet (the unit draws 14.7 amps).

The length of each individual unit cord will be determined by first having an accurate distance measurement from the edge of the deep end of the pool, where the unit will operate from, back 25 – 50 feet (at whatever spot would be best suited for a dedicated outlet). We subtract 3 feet from that measurement to determine the cord’s length. This assures electrical safety by preventing the unit from traveling closer than 3 feet from the edge of the pool.

We would like to insist that the aerator always be supervised while operational, and that same authorized personnel restrict anyone else’s occasional urge to mess around with the unit or its intake assembly. Because we’re all doing this for the kids anyway, most everyone will enjoy the refreshment of the waterfalls without the need to be concerned about the unit’s safety while operating.

We will want to make sure that your pair of custom-chromed, high-pressure, adjustable nozzles provide you with a high-volume waterfalls, confined to a circled area 15 – 25 feet in diameter, somewhere in waist to chest-high water for averaged sized 10 – 15 year olds, at the shallow end of the pool.

Your ‘Watercannon’ 3 unit will arrive complete and well-tested. You will have already received from the manufacturer your dedicated water-tight flip lid electrical box for installation. All you will need to do, upon delivery of your ‘Watercannon’ 3, will be to:

Prime it . . . . tightly connect the intake coupler assembly . . . . . flip on the switch . . . . . and adjust both nozzles to a suitable ‘field of stream’ and volume. This aeration unit should give you a dual, high-volume, 60-70 foot adjustable waterfalls.

Nozzles now come with factory installed baffle screws, eliminating any potential of total shutoff – thereby avoiding any questions of safety concerning back-pressure build up – (if both nozzles were to be shut off completely).




O come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the Lord , our maker! For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand. Psalm 95:6,7
