 3.1 I  Operati ng principle

The hydraulic cleaners connect to the fi ltrati on system (either to a sucti on line or a skimmer); they use the fi ltrati on 

pump’s energy to move around the pool. The wall climbing capacity varies according to the shape of the pool and the 

available water fl ow.

The debris is sucked in by the cleaner and captured in the fi ltrati on pump's fi lter basket or in the Cyclonic

TM

 Leaf Catcher 

(accessory included or available as an opti on depending on the model).
