VII. Maintenance
E-Z Vac requires almost no maintenance. Visually inspect your E-Z Vac from time to time to make
sure that:
• The flapper is moving freely and is not obstructed by debris.
• The footpad is not excessively worn. When the traction pads on the bottom have worn down,
•
it is time for replacement.
We recommend that you leave E-Z Vac in your pool,
except during chemical shock treatments.
During swimming it is easy to unplug E-Z Vac and pull it to one side.
When storing E-Z Vac,
do not coil the hose.
Lay the hose out flat in an area protected from direct
sunlight. If hose sections are disconnected, try not to disturb the hose weight location.
To ensure optimum performance from your E-Z Vac, we recommend the use of blue sectional hose
by Kreepy Krauly.

Disclaimer of Liability –
About Your Pool and E-Z Vac.
There are a multitude of factors that contribute to the life of your pool. The E-Z Vac product is a
very passive product that will have no impact on pool life.
Please be aware that over time, deterioration, discoloration, weakness and brittleness of vinyl liners
can be caused separately by, or in combination with, age, the environment, an imbalance in pool
water chemistry, sunlight and the pool’s surroundings. In addition, vinyl-lined pools are affected by
the workmanship, composition and installation of the liner; and the workmanship and quality of
construction of the supporting walls and pool base. These are all factors which can contribute to
liner failure. The existence of any of these types of conditions in your pool is not caused by the use
or operation of E-Z Vac. The manufacturer disclaims any liability for repairs or replacement to any
of these structures or components in the customer’s pool.
E-Z Vac cleans any aboveground pool that has a banked or radius cove height of at least
6 inches (floor-to-wall angle). Pool coves of less than 6 inches, or the absence of a cove,
will inhibit the cleaner’s operation. See Figure 1 on page 3.
The pool owner must assume all responsibility for the condition and maintenance of the pool’s
surface, water and deck.
