To install the eyeball diverter:
• First make sure your pool pump is off. Remove the original eyeball diverter from the return line at
the pool by unscrewing the lock ring, see Figure 10.
• Replace the original eyeball diverter with the E-Z Vac’s eyeball diverter.
• Replace the lock ring and tighten. Make sure the opening of the eyeball diverter points in the proper
direction before tightening fully. See below, Eyeball Diverter Positions.

IMPORTANT: The eyeball diverter must fit snugly into the eyeball fitting.
Some eyeball fittings,
like Aqua Leader or Olympic, may be too large for the eyeball diverter. In this situation, use the outer ring
supplied with your E-Z Vac
®
to adjust for the discrepancy in size.
• Snap the outer ring onto the eyeball diverter and position it in the first groove as shown in Figure 11.
• Insert the eyeball diverter/outer ring assembly into the eyeball fitting in the return line, see Figure 11.
• Install the lock (retaining) ring and tighten.
Eyeball Diverter Positions
• Make sure the opening of the eyeball diverter points to the side, at a “9 o’clock position”, before
tightening fully.
• Usually, directing the return line water flow against the side of the pool, as described above, works best.
However, you may want to try pointing the flow downward or in different positions to see which works
best in your pool.
NOTE: If the Eyeball or Eyeball with outer ring does not fit your pool, use the Wire Diverter
accessory available for purchase from your Pentair dealer.
After installing the eyeball diverter, turn the pool pump on. Your cleaner should begin moving across the
pool floor vacuuming up debris in its path.
