Maintenance
Hazardous suction. Suction through the PoolShark can entrap bathers, causing
severe injuries or drowning. Do not operate the PoolShark cleaner while people are using the
swimming pool. Do not allow anyone to play with the PoolShark or its hoses.
Your PoolShark can stay in the pool at all times except during chemical shock treatments.
However, when people are using the pool, disconnect the PoolShark and pull it to one side of
the pool.
The PoolShark requires almost no maintenance. Manually open and close the regulator valve
from time to time to flush away accumulated dirt and debris and ensure smooth operation.
Also, from time to time, visually inspect the PoolShark to be sure that:
• The oscillator moves freely and is not obstructed by debris.
• The vacuum pad is not excessively worn. When the traction pads on the bottom have worn
down, it’s time for replacement.
Notice:
When storing the PoolShark, do not coil the hose. Instead, lay it out straight and flat
in an area protected from direct sunlight. Use only a genuine PoolShark hose. The warranty is
void if the cleaner is operated with other than a genuine PoolShark hose.
Troubleshooting
Common Causes of Cleaner Problems:
• Dirty filter
Clean the filter
• Dirty basket in pump hair and lint strainer
Clean the basket
• Debris blocking the bottom of the PoolShark
Remove the Debris
• Leaks in the hose
Remove the leaky section
• Debris in the regulator valve
Clean the regulator valve
• Low vacuum through the cleaner
Close the main drain
Poolshark Doesn’t Move Or Pulsates Slowly:
• Make sure that the main drain and all other suction lines are closed except the suction line
to which the PoolShark is attached.
• Check for debris in the filter or the pump strainer basket.
• Check for debris in the PoolShark’s oscillator. Debris may prevent oscillator movement or
restrict the flow through the cleaner.
• Check the oscillator for: damage; lost seals (there should be 4 seals): obstructed seals
(seals should slide freely on the oscillator).
• Be sure that the short, soft leader hose section is the first section in the hose assembly
(next to the cleaner).
