Installation and User’s Guide
Cutting the Feed Hose
The Hose assembly comes in 5 sections now covering approximately 30 ft. of the
pool. The Back-Up Valve is now 30 in. from the head cleaner and should always
remain this distance. For larger pools, see #14 on page 7 for instructions on
adding
additional feeder hose.
1. Before installing the unit, lay the feed hose out straight in the sun, (for one day if
possible). The hose is curled in the box upon delivery and sometimes does not lay
straight. If needed, take the fi rst or second section of hose from the wall and reverse
it, (turn it around).
Note:
You might have to reverse both sections to correct the problem. Make sure
the feed hose is cut and installed properly.
2. Use the telepole or the clear end of the feeder hose to measure the depth of the
pool. Cut the clear (soft) hose equal to the depth of the pool.
Note:
the grate or domed main drain at the bottom is usually the deepest point.
Example:
The clear (soft) hose is 10 ft. long, if the pool is 8½ ft. deep, cut 1½ ft.
off of the clear (soft)hose. If the depth is greater than 10 ft., do not cut the clear
(soft) hose.
3. Lay the telepole next to the clear (soft) hose. If the clear (soft) hose is longer than
the mark on telepole, cut excess from the end attached to the white (hard) hose. Do
not cut off the fl oat. Leave the fi rst fl oat in position next to the Back-Up Valve. Place
the second fl oat midway between the fi rst fl oat and the Hose Swivel.
