IV
. Adjustments
After completing the installation,
turn the pool pump on
. Allow the pump to run for a couple of minutes
to ensure all air cycles out of the system. The cleaner should be moving about the pool at a rate of
3-4 meters per minute. Check each of the following initial adjustments to the cleaner at this time.
Hose Length
IMPORTANT:
The pump must be on when you check the hose length. The hose contracts when the
pump is operating and will be longer when the pump is off.
With the cleaner operating, position it at the furthest point of the pool from where it’s attached.
(It is easy to position the cleaner the pool by moving it about with your pool pole and brush.)
The cleaner’s hose should be long enough to reach the end of the pool, plus one hose section.
If necessary, remove extra hose sections from the center portion of hose. Removing center hose
sections avoids having to disturb the hose weight placements. Save extra hose sections for use as
needed for replacement.
NOTE: Turn pool pump off when adding or removing hose sections
.
Hose Balance
To determine correct hose balance,
turn the pump off
and observe the cleaner. Hose balance is
correct when the cleaner’s seal rests flat on the pool floor and the diver tubes make a 45° angle
with the floor, as shown in Figure 9. The cleaner achieves the best cleaning coverage when the hose
neither weights down nor pulls up on the unit. Adjust hose weights one inch at a time as needed,
until proper hose balance is achieved. In pools with both shallow and deep areas, adjust hose
weights first in the deep area and then in the shallow area.
1.
Hose Too Light.
If the hose rises towards
the surface at an angle
greater than 45°, move the
weights closer to the
cleaner, or move the first
two weights closer to each
other.
2.
Correct Hose Balance.
3.
Hose Too Heavy.
If the hose sags downward
to an angle less than 45°,
move the weights away
from the cleaner, or
separate the first two
weights away from each
other.
