To maintain quality, performance and increase the lifespan of your Baracuda G3, please do the following:
1.
The skimmer basket, pump basket and pool filter should be thoroughly cleaned on a regular basis.
Always disconnect the hose
from the skimmer before backwashing.
2.
NEVER COIL THE HOSE
when the cleaner is removed from the pool. A coiled hose can be straightened with hot water or by
laying it on a warm pool deck for several hours.
