STEP 3: Assembling the Hoses
1. Always insert the male hose cuff into the female cuff. Hoses must connect
fairly tightly. The ideal length of hose is from the weir to the furthest point of
the pool plus one extra section of hose. If the weir is opposite the steps, use
lowest step as furthest point (See Diagrams 4 and 5). To ensure the best
performance from your BARACUDA

GENIUS
®
3000, please ensure only
genuine BARACUDA
®
long life hoses are used.

2. Attach your BARACUDA

3000 to the male end (smaller side) of
the assembled hose.
3. Fit the Hose Protection Mesh over the cuff of the hose to help prevent the
hose from wearing at the weir. Position the protection mesh so that ±10 cm is
exposed outside the weir.
4. Bleed all the air from the hose by placing one end over the return jet – thus
filling the hose length with water.
5. Keeping the hose-ends underwater, move it from the return line to the weir
and connect the female cuff to the Auto Weir Valve. Ensure that the Auto Weir
Valve is firmly attached to the hose (See Diagram 6).
