SECTION 2 – CORRECT SETTINGS

ADJUSTMENT SUGGESTIONS

CORRECT BALANCING
Proper balancing must be accomplished in the DEEPEST area of the pool. The
buoyancy of the hose tends to LIFT the BARACUDA

® 

GENIUS

®

3000 especially

in deeper water. The hose weight is utilized to help neutralise the buoyant effect
of the hose. Although usually not required, if a hose weight is needed, please
contact BARACUDA

®

on 0800 110 885 whereby we will supply a hose weight at

no charge.

POOL COVERAGE
Normally it is undesirable for the return line water flow to affect the natural
movement of your BARACUDA

®

hose. However, the return line pressure can 

be used to balance cleaning coverage or to guide the cleaner away from steps 
and corners.

A return line located anywhere along the shaded area can be utilised to gently
push the hose, allowing your BARACUDA

®

GENIUS

®

3000 to free itself from 

in-pool obstacles (Diagram 8).

NOTE: Do not use hose
weight if your swimming pool
is less than 2,1 metres deep.
