JET-VAC

AUTOMATIC

POOL CLEANER

The Jet-Vac Feed Hose has now been 

installed, connected to the pool wall and 

cut to size. Now proceed to assemble and 

install the Jet-Vac head unit.
 

ASSEMBLE AND INSTALL JET-VAC 

HEAD UNIT:

1)

  Attach JV30 Funnel Adaptor to Jet-Vac head. 

Ensure JV29 Gasket is sitting flat in JV30.

2)

  Attach JV32 Debris Bag to JV30 Funnel Adaptor.

3)

  Attach JV50 Disconnect Swivel at sweep hose 

end of feed hose onto Jet-Vac cleaner.

4)

  Place the Jet-Vac in pool, at furthest point from 

wall fitting.

5)

  Turn ON pool pump for at least 30 seconds to 

purge the air from the unit.

6)  

Turn ON booster pump. Remember, booster pump 
must only operate whilst pool pump is running.

Congratulations, the Jet-Vac is now 

installed and operating.

JET-VAC OPERATION:

The feed hose for the Jet-Vac Pool Cleaner has been 
coiled in its box for a period of time. Once installed, 
the feed hose may try to coil up, causing the Jet-Vac 
to climb and fly around the pool.

To remove this “memory” from the feed hose it may 
be necessary to lay the entire hose out in the sun for 
a full day in a straight position. When doing this, also 
straighten out the Sweep Hose. This straightening 
of the hose should enable the Jet-Vac to travel more 
consistently on the pool floor and track steadier.

A different way to remove the memory from the 
coiled hose is to carefully pour hot water down the 
feed hose and lay out straight for an hour.

CLEANING THE JET-VAC BAG:

Jet-Vac will quickly and efficiently pick up all kinds 
of debris that ends up on the pool floor. Check 
and empty the debris bag regularly. Failure to clean 
the bag may result in the bag becoming blocked, 
weighing down the Jet-Vac, causing damage and 
severely hampering its performance. Damage caused 
to the Jet-Vac due to improper maintenance is not 
covered under warranty.
To clean the bag: Remove the entire bag assembly 
(including funnel adaptor) from the Jet-Vac by 
twisting counter clockwise to release the snap-lock. 
To remove bag with locking ring from funnel adaptor, 
position finger as shown by putting thumb on one 
tab and finger on the other tab. Push in the opposite 
directions to unlock (see drawing below).
Empty debris from bag, and rinse clean with cold 
water. Next hold the funnel adaptor upside down 
and gently tap against a solid surface to dislodge 
the flexible funnel adaptor gasket. Rinse any debris 
from both sides of the gasket and the funnel adaptor. 
Press the gasket back into the funnel adaptor, fit the 
bag and lock ring in place. Lock the funnel adaptor 
onto the Jet-Vac, and it’s ready to resume cleaning.

Jet-Vac is supplied with the JV32 Fine Debris Bag. 
This will collect all types of debris and is perfect 
for picking up fine materials. If your pool fills with 
tree branches and large twigs, then these may 
prematurely wear the material in the JV32 Fine Debris 
Bag. Therefore, it may be more suitable to use 
the JV31 Coarse Leaf Bag, which is made from a 
stronger and coarser material. Many Jet-Vac owners 
who have large leaf loads continually alternate 
between the Fine and the Coarse bags, one week 
using the JV32 and the next week using the JV31.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE (continued)

To remove JV32 Bag & Lock Ring from 

Funnel Adaptor:

Position fingers as shown by putting thumb on one 
tab and finger on the other tab. Push in opposite 
directions to snap off.
