Step 4.
Attach the Hose Weights
and Assemble the Hoses
The cleaner hose comes in sections which
must be assembled. You’ll need enough sections
to reach from where the cleaner is connected,
to the farthest part of your pool, plus one section.
You will also have to attach hose weights to the hose
to neutralize the hose’s buoyancy in water.
The number of hose weights required is determined by
the maximum depth of your pool. The deeper your
pool, the more weights is needed. The number of
hose weights appropriate for your pool are explained
in Table A.
Note: Not all pools will require the hose weights.
Twist and push the female ends onto the male ends
after dipping the ends into the pool to wet them.
See Figure 5. Continue until you’ve connected all the
sections you need. After connecting the hose weights
to the hose as described in “Table A”, then connect the
hose to the cleaner. See Figure 6.
One of the hose sections has 2 female ends and a hose protector. This section should be fitted last
with one end attached to the pool’s vacuum connection (the weir or automatic regulator valve)
and the other side attached to your first hose
.
Your fully assembled cleaner should look like this.
