MAINTENANCE
WEAR AND TEAR IMPORTANT:
1. To ensure optimum performance of your pool cleaner, keep your weir and
pump baskets clean.
2. Please backwash and rinse your sand filter or cartridge filter regularly. When
a filter is dirty or the sand is old (2 years) the water flow through the filter is
poor, thus affecting the pool cleaner. Backwash every 7 to 10 days.
3. Pool filter sand should also be changed every two years.
4. Your pool cleaner will fade in colour over time, this is increased by excessive
chemical usage and incorrect Alkalinity and PH levels. When you CHLORINE
shock your pool please
your Pool cleaner for at least 4 hours.Do not
dump large amounts of course pool salt into the pool when the cleaner is
operating, allow salt to dissolve completely first.
5. When the Diaphragm gets stretched it can be readjusted by unscrewing the
outer pipe, removing the inner pipe and pulling the Diaphragm forward into
the Diaphragm plate.
6. Setting control valve too fast ie too much suction can stretch the diaphragm
and damage it, depending on the pump size set suction so ACROBAT moves
2,5m to 3m per minute. If there is excessive suction the ACROBAT hoses will
make a great deal turbulence.
1. Ensure that the Acrobat’s Disc, Foot pad, Bumper ring and Diaphragm are in
good condition.
Never remove the ACROBAT from the pool by lifting it by
the FLOAT ARM this will break and is not a warranty item, only remove
ACROBAT by holding onto main upper tube.
2. The Bumper ring and possibly the Weight chamber will wear as these parts are
in contact with the pool walls, step and corners.
3. The Diaphragm should be inspected regularly, and when stretched can be
readjusted or replaced.
4. The hoses will also rub against the wall, in the normal course of use.
5. Your hoses should be straight and flexible, if they become rigid and bent,
place them in a straight position in the sun for a few hours.

If these items get smooth, shiny or tear the pool cleaner will
not work properly.
TIP -
When replacing the diaphragm or any other part of your Acrobat
it is advised that you let your local pool dealer replace it for you. This is
due to the complexity of the replacement.
