TO REMOVE SKIMMER BASKET

Grip the brass handle and turn the basket   a quarter turn anti 

clockwise. This will align the lugs on the basket with the recess on 

the body of the skimmer. Lift up.

TO RE-INSERT SKIMMER BASKET

Locate the lugs on the basket with the recess on the body, making 

sure that when the basket is turned a quarter turn clockwise the 

opening in the basket will align with the opening to the main drain in 

the skimmer. Push down and turn.

TO VACUUM
S75 and Supaskimmer:

  Screw the main drain plug(s)    into the 

main drain inlet(s) in the skimmer body. Fit the vacuum plate to the 

skimmer body above the basket by locating cut outs on the vacuum 

plate with the lugs inside the skimmer body. Push down and turn a 

quarter turn clockwise. This will lock the vacuum plate into position.

SP5000:

  Slide up and close the main drain flow adjuster   . Slide 

along and open the vacuum plate flow adjuster    on the underside 

of the vacuum plate    . Fit the vacuum plate to the top of the basket 

by locating the cut outs in the vacuum plate with the lugs onthe 

basket. Push down and turn clockwise. This will lock the plate 

into position. Now follow all vacuuming procedures. After vacuuming 

is completed remove the vacuum plate from the skimmer box. The 

main drain flow adjuster     should be open during normal everyday 

running.

NB: The vacuum plate should be left out of the skimmer box during day 
to day running.

TO DRAW FROM MAIN DRAIN ONLY
S75 and Supaskimmer:

  Remove the main drain plug(s) from the 

main drain inlet(s) in the skimmer body. Fit the vacuum plate to the 

skimmer box as before. This will then eliminate the surface 

skimming action and draw water solely from the main drain of the 

pool.

SP5000:

  Slide to open the main drain flow adjuster    . Slide to 

close the vacuum plate flow adjuster   . Fit the vacuum plate    to 

skimmer box as before.
