Operating your Suction Pool Cleaner:
Before installing or purchasing a pool cleaner for use with your ProMaster
TM
pool pump, it is important to know the minimum flow rates required for it to
operate effectively.
To operate a suction pool cleaner with your
ProMaster
TM
VSD Eco-Series pump:
1. Activate the High Flow setting (10) and allow the pump to fully prime by
running for around 2 minutes. You will know the pump is primed when
you can see a strong flow of water through the clear leaf basket lid.
2. When all air is expelled from the leaf basket, connect the pool cleaner
hose firmly into the skimmer plate or dedicated wall suction.
3. Select the speed setting that enables best performance from your suction
pool cleaner. Speed 3 to 7 should be ample for most cleaners, however if
the cleaner requires better performance, select speeds 7 to 10. A Davey
Frill-NeckWIZARD
®
suction pool cleaner is recommended to run between
speeds 3 to 6.
4. The cleaner should only be connected for as long as is required to clean
the surface of your pool. When cleaning is complete, disconnect the
cleaner and remove the skimmer plate from the skimmer box.
NOTE:
To get optimum energy efficiency from your ProMaster
TM
DO NOT keep
the suction pool cleaner connected when cleaning is not required.
5. Reactivate the most efficient speed setting for daily filtration. Speeds 1 to
4 is recommended.
