KRUISER™ Inground Suction Pool Cleaner Installation and User’s Guide

ADJUSTMENTS

Turn on the pool pump after completing the installation and allow the pump to run 
for a couple of minutes to be sure all air is out of the system. 

Check the water flow and return line adjustments after installing your cleaner. 

Adjusting The  Flow

1.  Turn the pool pump off. 

2.  Remove the cleaner and connect the Flow Gauge 

to the end of the hose. Be sure to keep the hose 
submerged to prevent any air entry. 

3.  Turn the pump on.

4.  With the pump running, turn the Adjustment Knob 

of the Regulator Valve “Faster” or “Slower” until the 
disc indicator in the Flow Gauge settles between 
“Maximum” and “Minimum” flow.

 

Note: If you have very strong pump and the flow 
is still over “Maximum”, you may need to open 
the main drain slightly. 

5.  Turn the pool pump off. 

6.  Remove the Flow Gauge and connect the Cleaner 

to the end of the hose.  

7.  Be sure you keep the hose submerged to prevent 

any air to enter into it. 

8.  Allow the cleaner to drop to the pool floor.  

9.  Turn the pool pump on. 

Note: 

Optimizing the water flow 

does not mean

 maximizing the flow through the

cleaner. It is recommended to use less suction to be sure the cleaner travels in a
random pattern, able to reach all areas of your pool.
