Installation (Above-Ground or On-Ground Pools)
WARNING: The BaduJet Inspiration is heavy and a compact design. The unit weighs 100 lbs and will require a two person
crew to position. DO NOT lift unit by the jet nozzles. DO NOT lift by the motor. DO NOT drop the unit into the pool.
CAUTION: The distance between the unit and the inner pool wall must not be greater than 1.9 inches due to the danger of
hair or body entrapment. If the top rail will not allow for this distance, a section will need to be cut out so that the distance
is 1.9 inches or less.
If the BaduJet Inspiration can be installed on an existing deck, please use the installation instructions for in-ground pools.
In the event that the unit cannot be installed on an existing deck, an optional telescoping installation kit can be purchased
(See Figure 5). Adjustable from 30.5" to 54.75", it allows for proper support over an above-ground pool wall. Below are the
instructions for installation with the telescopic support.
1. Determine the location for the swim jet on the pool wall.
2. A small concrete pad will need to be installed at the pool wall for support of the telescoping unit support. The concrete pad
needs to be at least 4" thick and level. NOTE: The concrete needs to be fully cured before installation
3. Remove top cover from the BaduJet Inspiration. There are two (2) #10-24 phillips head screws securing the cover to the
base (one on each side).
4. Rest the BaduJet Inspiration over the pool wall on the top rail. Ensure
that the distance between the inner pool wall and the unit is not greater
than 1.9 inches. Cut out a section of the top rail if needed.
5. Have one person hold the BaduJet Inspiration in place while the other
places two (2) drill marks on the top rail. There should be one mark on
each side of the BaduJet Inspiration using the holes provided in the base.
Be sure that the marks are in a place on the top rail that will allow for M8
x 50mm (2") bolts.
NOTE: Before marking holes, ensure that the swimjet is level, properly
positioned, and the correct distance from the inside of the pool wall.
6. Remove the BaduJet Inspiration and drill two (2) M8 (9/32") holes at the
marks in the top rail.
7. Place the BaduJet Inspiration back over the top rail. While one person
supports the BaduJet Inspiration resting on the top rail, the other will
install the two (2) M8 x 50mm bolts (part# 49/8), two (2) 8.4mm washers
(part# 49/5), two (2) 8.4mm lock washers (part# 49/6), and two (2) M8
nuts (part# 49/7). DO NOT over tighten the bolts or you may damage the
top rail.
8. One person will continue to support the BaduJet Inspiration on the top
rail through Step 12. Install the telescopic safety support to the base of
the BaduJet Inspiration using four (4) bolts M12 x 35mm (part# 49/2),
four (4) 13mm lock washers (part# 49/3), and four (4) 13mm washers
(part# 49/4). The telescopic safety support mounts to the four threaded
holes in the center of the base. Hand tighten the bolts at this time, they
will need to be removed in Step 10.
9. Adjust the telescoping support and mark the holes to be drilled into the
concrete footer.
NOTE: Before marking holes, ensure that the swimjet is level, properly
positioned, and the correct distance from the inside of the pool wall.
