Benefits
The Paramount 004262203400 MDX-R3 Drain Sump helps create a clean and reliable foundation for the final drain assembly in non-adjustable concrete pools. During construction, drain openings can easily collect plaster, concrete, rocks, dirt, and other debris that may cause plumbing problems or delay final installation.
The included clear construction cap helps reduce cleanup, protects the drain opening, and helps keep the sump ready for final drain component installation. For builders and remodelers, this means a cleaner jobsite process and a more controlled installation.
When used as part of a complete Paramount MDX-R3 system, this sump supports debris removal and suction outlet performance while helping maintain proper system setup from the beginning of construction.

Installation Notes
This sump is intended for professional installation in compatible non-adjustable concrete pool applications. It should be installed according to the pool design, hydraulic layout, suction outlet requirements, and Paramount MDX-R3 installation instructions.
Before installation, confirm that the project requires the non-adjustable concrete version and not an adjustable concrete, vinyl, or alternate MDX-R3 configuration. The clear construction cap should remain in place during construction to protect the sump opening from debris and finishing material.
Final installation should be completed by a qualified pool professional to ensure proper placement, plumbing alignment, safety compliance, and drain system performance.
