INSTALLING YOUR POOL CLEANER
WHEN CONNECTING TO A DEDICATED VACUUM LINE IN THE POOL
Some pools are equipped with a dedicated vacuum line, which allows the cleaner to be connected to this line. In
such cases, the
Flow Control Valve
should
NOT BE USED.
To connect to the dedicated vacuum line:
1. Make sure the pool pump is turned
OFF.
2. Remove all the air from the pool cleaner and hose (see tip on page 7). This may require you to turn the pool pump
ON.
If so, make sure it is turned
OFF
before going to the next step.
3. Open the spring-loaded flap on the vacuum line wall fitting and insert the male (smaller) open end of the hose.
Ensure it is well secured.
4. If more or less flow is required, adjust valves at pool pad as needed.
SAFETY INSTRUCTION:
When using a dedicated vacuum line, make sure it is fitted with a safety vacuum
lock. This will help prevent suction entrapment accidents. Contact your pool builder or retail pool
professional for details.
FINE TUNING THE CLEANER
Your
Pool Cleaner
is the only suction pool cleaner which is programmable - allowing you to optimize its
performance to meet the needs of your specific pool.
Your
Pool Cleaner
comes with standard setting, once you have it in the pool you need to adjust the wheel
Revolutions Per Minute (RPM). The optimal RPM for your
Pool Cleaner
should be between 11 and 14.
Note: Pool Cleaner
will still clean you pool at lower RPM, but it may struggle to move around corners, steps etc.
1. While your
Compass Cleaner
is running, bring it up to just beneath the surface of the pool water.
Note:
You need to keep the cleaner below the surface of the water or it will suck air. For safety sake, it is best to do
this step at the shallow end of the pool. The pump must be operating so the pool cleaner is running.
&
Safety reminder:
Keep all body parts away from the suction port.
2. Users can choose the clean area (ground area or pool wall area) according to their own needs (see
Figure 7).
