Do you have to drain the water below the return to install it?

No. Just unscrew the jet and replace with the light. FYI, these lights DO NOT light up your pool - just right at the return only.

No drain is required. It is inserted in-line into your incoming water supply line. When its time to replace the filter, rotate the filter control cap to the OFF position and loosen the locking collar to remove the housing and gain access to the filter cartridge using the included wrench tool. Pull the old cartridge and replace with a new one. Place the housing back into position and tighten the locking collar; rotate the control cap back to FILTER and you are done. The whole process takes less than 5 minutes.

I don't think so. One night ours was making a nasty noise and i realized the water level was below what it should have been. I was glad it did though since mine is in the garage and that way i knew it was time to clean the unit and add more water.

No, you need to guide it back up and push it back into the faucet. It's been a great faucet so far, we love it.

No, it does not. There are tiny open slats along the sides, at the base where the house lies on. I suppose you could use a power setting on your hose, direct it through the circular opening in the front, add some soap or bleach or whatever you use, cover the hole and shake furiously around for awhile and then rinse thouroughly. It would then drain through the bottom slats.

Sorry - I don't know the answer to that. I had someone else install it and I recollect that it took about a day for the drainage to be hooked up . . . So, probably not.

No I think you would need a separate system for a bottom drain with a seperaye pump

no, because you can put the water return head at the surface of the water, so only the filtered water is pours back in. i would still do regular water changes. hope this helps.

Yes, it drains all of the water, we have never had an issue with this. It was installed a year ago and I am as pleased today as I was last year.

Yes - we installed a new one when we had this one put in. We had a plumber do the actual installation, but the sink drain is the standard size for a garbage disposal. Not modifications needed.

No. The drain is on the bottom. You have to get on the floor to drain it with a hose or bucket.

You can use the drain plug however you will have to manually empty the water after use.

No, you do hookup water to the tub. There is a special sprinkler head that comes with the unit that you screw on to a regular water hose. The unit comes with a drain hose that is connected on the bottom of the tub to direct the drainage out and to the side.

Yes. It comes with a drain hose and an overflow drain hose. Can set it up to drain with one hose or use other if reservoir becomes full. Set mine to continually drain.

No. It drains much better than my old one. There are holes in the entire bowl area, just not on the rim/footing. A little tip when draining releases any trapped liquid.

No drain required. When changing the cartridge, you will have to tip out the water from the unit.

Yes. There is a plug in the bottom you can take out to have a drain hole. I have loved mine.
