Preparing the Pool
5
Use Only Genuine Hayward Replacement Parts.
The Viio cleaner should not be used to clean the
pool for spring start-up until the following steps
have been taken:
1.
Clear the pool of any large objects that might interfere
with the cleaner’s operation.
2.
Check to see that the water is at the recommended level.
3.
Check the water chemistry. The water should be properly
balanced (pH level) and the pool free from algae.
Note:
Algae can adversely affect the operation and
performance of the cleaner.
4.
Clean or backwash the filtration system without the Viio
cleaner in the pool.
Caution – Risk of Equipment Damage.
Always disconnect the Viio cleaner and hoses from
the Universal Wall Fitting and remove from pool before
backwashing or cleaning the filtration system. Failure
to do so can damage the Booster Pump and Cleaner.
5.
Clean the filtration system pump’s strainer basket.
Note:
Following the installation of the Viio cleaner,
clean the system at regular intervals according to
individual pool conditions.
New Pool Construction
1.
Brush newly constructed pool surface and vacuum new
surface debris
before installing the Viio.
Pools with Excessive Sand
Pools with excessive amounts of sand (dense debris)
should be vacuumed manually before installing the Viio.
The Viper Bag has a larger mesh area toward the bottom
of the bag that allows sand in excess of 1 cup to pass
through the bag. This feature enables the Viio to continue
to operate picking up leaves, acorns, grasses etc. without
falling on its side like other pressure cleaners.
Sand (dense debris)
Always empty the Viio bag when sand (or heavy
debris) fills the bag up to the “Empty Sand Line”.
Pools with excessive amounts of sand should be manually
vacuumed before installing the Viio.
The Viper is designed to operate with 1 cup of sand
and the remainder of its bag filled with leaves, acorns,
grasses. etc.
Dedicated Booster Pump Return Line
The Viio cleaner is designed to connect to a 1-1/2 inch
dedicated return line that is approximately 6 inches below the
normal water level and have 1-1/2 inch female threads. If the
dedicated return line has 3/4 inch female threads, you will
need to purchase a 1-1/2 inch NPTF x 3/4 inch NPTM adapter.
Tools Needed for Installation
• Flat blade screwdriver for adjusting the regulator on the
wall quick connect.
• Rigid pressure hose measuring tape (included in bag #1).
