BOTTOM SKIMMER VALVE OPERATION
This valve is found at the bottom of the skimmer, below the basket (see picture of the
skimmer).
Normal filtration position
: When the
red lever is horizontal
(laid down) and the
swivelling cover is opened
, the pump will suction 50% from the skimmer and 50%
from the bottom drain. This is the normal filtration position: the suction is done by the
skimmer and bottom drain.
Vacuum position
: When
the red lever is vertical
(up)
and
the swivelling cover is
open
, the pump will only suction from the skimmer. This is the vacuum position; the suction is only
done by the skimmer.
Pool drain position
: When
the red lever is horizontal
(laid down) and
the
swivelling cover is shut
,
the pump will only suction from the
bottom drain. This is the pool drain position
HOW TO USE THE VACUUM CLEANER?
Connect the telescopic pole to the vacuum. Take the vacuum hose and check both ends of the
hose: one end swivels and the other is fixed. Place the swivelling end of the vacuum hose to
the head of the vacuum and lower it to the bottom of the Spa.
Fill the vacuum hose with water to eliminate the air pockets inside the hose.
(Tip: place the hose in front of a return jet to properly fill it with water).
Remove the basket from the skimmer and place the valve's red lever at the bottom of the skimmer in the vertical position. The
bottom drain will then close and there will only be a single suction concentrated in the skimmer.
Re-install the basket in the
skimmer
.
Connect the fixed end of the vacuum hose to the Skim-Vac. Place the Skim-Vac above the basket. This way, the debris that
could possibly block your lines will remain in the skimmer's basket. The rest of the debris that will be sucked up will be directly
sent to your filter.
Vacuum the water slowly to avoid creating too much stir and ensure an effective cleaning.
If the suction drops, look for any kind of dirt in the basket of the skimmer, the basket of the
pump and clean your cartridge.
