Aboveground Pool Cleaner Installation and User’s Guide
Congratulations on the purchase of your new E-Z Vac
®
Aboveground Pool Cleaner. You’ll soon see that E-Z Vac really is
the easy way to keep your aboveground pool clean. First, however, you’ll have to install the cleaner and perhaps make
some minor adjustments.
This manual covers the steps needed to install and adjust your new E-Z Vac cleaner.
POOL PREPARATION
Pool Requirements
• This cleaner is recommended for use in pools that have a cove* height of at least 6 inches. Pool coves less
than 6 inches may inhibit the cleaner’s operation.
Note:
The pool “cove” is the embankment between the pool wall and floor. It is generally constructed with
either a banked or radius shape as shown in
Figure 1
below.
• This cleaner is not recommended for use in pools with no cove (with a 90° floor-to-wall angle). The absence
of a cove may affect the cleaner’s operation by inhibiting its random-pattern coverage.
Pool Preparation
Before assembling and installing your cleaner, your pool should be clean and algae-free so as not to inhibit the
cleaner’s traction. If necessary, make the following preparations before proceeding:
1. Chemically balance the pool water.
2. Brush pool and let the debris settle.
3. Hand vacuum thoroughly.
4. Clean filter and pump strainer basket.
Cleaner Components
