FLOW ADJUSTMENT
For full follow, slide the diverter plate until it is fully open. To adjust flow, slide diverter
plate to desired position over pump outlet.
TO VACUUM
Remove the cover and the basket. Screw the hose adapter into the pump outlet. Fill
the vacuum hose with water and insert over the hose adapter.
When using the Float Valve Assembly, water is drawn by the suction of the pump from
the surface of the pool and the main drain line. The flow is balanced by the diverter
plate located under the Float Valve Assembly. If obstruction or evaporation occurs,
causing a significant reduction of flow over the weir, the float will automatically snap
shut. This diverts all flow to the pump from the main drain line ad prevents possible air
lock. When the pump is shut off or water level condition has been remedied, the float
will rise back to the top of the assembly, allowing for normal operation of the flow.
TO SWEEP/BRUSH
To divert all suction of the main drain, simply hold the wire above the normal
operation level and allow the float to snap shut. Or lift the Float Valve Assembly out,
close the diverter plate and replace. To reset float after sweeping, turn off pump for
about 10-15 seconds and allows the float to rise back up.
TO VACUUM
Remove the cover, basket, and the Float Valve Assembly. Screw the hose adapter into
the pump outlet. Fill the vacuum hose with water and insert over the hose adapter.
Equalizer Check Valve Assembly screws into the main drain port and is used in
conjunction with the Float Valve Assembly. If the water level drops below the skimmer
opening, or the skimmer flow is obstructed, the float will automatically snap shut and
the equalizer valve will open. This diverts all flow to the pump from the equalizer line
and prevents airlock in the pump. When the pump is off, and the water level condition
is corrected, the float valve will rise and the equalizer valve will open, allowing normal
skimming operation when the pump is restarted.
TO VACUUM
Select one convenient skimmer and remove the cover and Float Valve Assembly. Place
the vacuum plate on the basket. Fill the vacuum hose with water and insert over the
hose adapter. Throttle down the flow from the other skimmer(s) until desired suction
is obtained through vacuum.
