Remote Provisions
Mud Box Installation for Flush Mount SpaLink RS Remote.
If using the SpaLink RS Mud Box, it is important to make provisions for the hard-wired
SpaLink
®
RS Control before the pool/spa construction is complete by running
electrical conduit from the desired SpaLink location to the Power Center location.
However, do not install the SpaLink until construction of spa and deck is complete.
1. The mud box is for use with new SpaLink housing and frame only. This mud
box will not work with the old style SpaLink.
2. Use the dimensions below to make space for the mud box.
3. Install a one (1") inch PVC conduit from the Power Center to the back of the mud
box, so that the SpaLink RS Remote will not be constantly submerged.
4. The mud box's fitting is smaller than one (1") inch to allow
movement of the mud box within the PVC conduit. Use caulking
or RTV to make up for the loose fit.
5. The smaller outlet on the mud box is for water drainage (if
needed).
a. Cut the end of the nipple and run a piece of tubing to the
nipple.
b. Run a piece of tubing to an appropriate spot away from the
mud box.
6. Place the SpaLink w/frame and "O" rings into mud box. The
SpaLink is smaller than the mub box to allow movement if the
mud box is not level. Use silicone sealant to adhere the frame
to the mud box. Apply the silicone to the under side of the
frame.

For Horizontal Installation into the Deck:
To house the SpaLink RS, plumb a 6" long piece of 1"
schedule 40 PVC pipe. A 1½” to 1” adapter is included for use if
1½” PVC is being used. Carefully trim the end of the pipe flush
with the deck after all the deck work is completed. Leave at least
2” of clearance around the conduit from coping stones or other
raised objects.
Install a reducer to the end of the 6" piece of pipe and run ½”
or ¾” electrical conduit underground from the reducer to the
AquaLink
RS Power Center location (see page 10 of the
AquaLink
RS Installation Manual for further details on the Power
Center). Use sweep elbows for turns so that the SpaLink RS
cable can be easily pulled through later.
Use a snake (or similar tool) to pull the SpaLink RS
cable
through the conduit to the Power Center. At the Power Center,
feed the SpaLink RS cable into the low voltage compartment (left-
hand side). Strip the cable jacket 4” and strip each wire ¼”. Use
the P.C. Board Wiring Diagram on the inside of the Power Center
door to piggyback (double-up) the SpaLink RS wires with the 4-
pin terminal bar.
Apply a silicone sealant around the edge of the cone-shaped
base of the SpaLink RS and slide it into the adapter (if one is
being used), then into the PVC. At the mounting location, press
(do not screw) the SpaLink RS into the PVC. Place a 1/8” bead of
silicone sealant around back of SpaLink and let cure. NOTE: Do
not alter the SpaLink RS
housing. Cutting the housing may
damage its seal and will void the warranty.
