General Installation Information
Pre-Installation Check List
Before installing your cleaner, review and understand all
warnings and safety information in this guide. Failure to
follow these instructions or improper installation of the
cleaner can result in damage to the pool finish or the vinyl liner,
Pentair Water Pool and Spa, Inc. disclaims any liability for
repairs or replacement to any of these structures or
components of the customer’s pool.
Before installing the cleaner in a vinyl liner pool:
Check liner closely for signs of deterioration or damage
from age, chemicals, pool wall damage, etc. If any damage is
found, have a qualified pool professional make all the necessary
repairs. Also, if there are stones, roots, etc., under the liner,
remove them before installing the cleaner.
Before installing the cleaner in a gunite pool or a pool that is
partially or completely tiled:
Repair loose tiles and tighten any loose light rings.
Before installing the cleaner, clean your filter system:
Make sure you have cleaned the filter, including backwashing,
rinsing, and emptying all baskets. A clean system is necessary
for proper cleaner operation and coverage.
Before installing the cleaner, understand cleaner coverage:
The cleaner is designed to rid your pool of debris in
approximately 4-6 hours. Less time could be needed,
depending on the pool size. The cleaner was not designed to
automatically clean steps or swimouts or to work under a solar
cover. It was also not designed to do initial cleanup for a new
pool or when opening your pool for the season.
AFTER installing the cleaner, make sure the cleaner is
operating correctly:
The cleaner may need some minor adjustments to make
sure it is operating properly so there is no damage to the
pool finish. Certain vinyl liner patterns are particularly
susceptible to surface wear, pattern removal, ink rubbing off
of, or serious scratches to the pattern caused by objects
coming into contact with the vinyl surface, including
automatic pool cleaners. Pentair Water Pool and Spa, Inc. is
not responsible for any pattern removal, abrasions or markings
on vinyl liners.

body. Can trap and tear hair or body parts.

SUCTION ENTRAPMENT, INJURY, AND
DROWNING HAZARD.
If your pool has a
dedicated suction port (“vac port”) for
vacuuming or for an automatic pool cleaner,
it must be covered when not in use. A spring
loaded safety cover (a “vac port fitting”) is
included with your cleaner. Install it on the
suction port to prevent entrapment and injury.
If the cover provided does not fit, purchase one
that does from your local pool store and install
it instead. The cover should conform to IAPMO
SPS4-99A.
