 II Automatic Pool Cleaner Installation and User’s Guide

Attaching Swivel Assembly to Cleaner Head

Installing the swivel assembly is a snap. Just insert it into the Great White

®

 II 

Automatic Pool Cleaner body and give it a quarter turn (

Figure 3

).  

If you attach a unidapt handle to the swivel for manual vacuuming, be sure it is the 
special, floating unidapt handle provided with the cleaner (Replacement Part No. 
GW9019). Use of a different unidapt handle will hinder the cleaner’s performance.

Assembling the Hose

The cleaner includes twelve sections of hose, each 1m in length (

Figure 4

).  

Do not cut the hose lengths.

  You will need to connect these 1m sections 

of hose to create a combined hose length that is at least 1m longer than the 
distance from your suction source (whether skimmer or dedicated suction line) 
to the farthest point in the pool (

Figure 5

).  

Connect the hoses by twisting and pushing the female ends onto the male 
ends after wetting the ends in the pool (

Figure 6

).  

A special “leader”  hose section is designed to connect to the cleaner’s swivel assembly and therefore has a 
larger hose cuff than the other hose lengths (Figures 7 and 8)

.  Failure to use this leader hose section to attach 

the hose to the cleaner’s swivel assembly will hinder your cleaner’s performance.  If additional hose is needed, use 
only hoses from your Pentair dealer (order replacement part No. 41200-0131). Use of another manufacturer’s hose will 
hinder cleaner coverage.

Hose must equal longest stretch — — 

plus 1 hose length.
