STEP 1: Preparing your pool and filtration system

IMPORTANT

The filtration system must be operating at its MAXIMUM WATER FLOW 
before you install your BARACUDA

3000, otherwise you will have 

to re-adjust your BARACUDA

®

GENIUS

®

3000 after cleaning the pool filter.

Installation is easy if you follow these simple preliminary steps:

1. Empty the weir basket.

2. Clean the pump basket.

3. Backwash the filter until the sight glass is clear.

4. Adjust all return jets (whether your pool has one, two or more) to point

downwards and towards each other so that you DO NOT see a circular
water flow or waves on the surface of your pool.

STEP 2: Assembling the disc to your Genius
