. Installation
The cleaner is designed to work in wide variety of swimming pools. That’s why we’ve included certain
items (such as a 2” hose cone and valve cap for the automatic regulator valve) with your cleaner.
These may or may not be needed, depending on the particular features of your pool.
Both the standard in-skimmer installation and an optional vacuum line installation are covered in this
manual. Check to see which most closely fits your pool configuration and follow the directions.
Standard Installation
For pools with one skimmer, using the automatic
regulator valve.
The advantage of this installation is that the automatic
regulator valve automatically balances the water flow
between the skimmer and the cleaner. We strongly
recommend the use of automatic regulator valve
for maximum safety and performance. The valve
automatically adjusts to changes in the amount of water
flow to provide the cleaner with the power necessary
to ensure proper cleaning performance.
1.
Switch the pool pump off.
2.
Close the main drain and all suction lines, except
the line from the skimmer to which the cleaner
will be connected.
3.
Remove skimmer basket.
4.
Press the 2” (50mm) Hose Cone into the vacuum
connection in the bottom of the skimmer, as shown
in figure 8.
5.
Press the automatic regulator valve into the
2” (50mm) Hose Cone.
The end of the valve that is marked
“Attach Hose This End”
must point up. See Figure8.
6.
Place the cleaner into the pool and allow it to sink to the floor. Continue to feed the hose
vertically down into the pool until it is completely filled with water and purged of air.
7.
Insert the end of the hose through the skimmer opening and connect the hose directly
onto the automatic regulator valve.
