STEP 7 - ACHIEVING PROPER FLOW

Remove the cleaner head.

Attach the Pool Pulse

®

to the hose and keep it under water as shown in Figure 1.

Turn on the filtration system.

Insure the Pool Pulse is in the ideal range when viewed from the side.

Keeping the hose under water, remove the Pool Pulse.

Submerge the cleaner head, and when the bubbles stop coming from the extension pipe, attach the hose end.

Your installation is now complete.

POOL PULSE

®

The Pool Pulse is a flow meter that measures the volume of water flowing through your Kontiki cleaner. It must be used to properly
set the flow and can be used as a diagnostic tool when the cleaner isn't running properly.

IDEAL

TOO HIGH

TOO LOW

If the flow is in the low range, review the installation procedures. A dirty pool filter or clogged basket is usually the main cause of
low flow. Other types of hydraulic problems may require a professional pool repairman. If your pool has multiple skimmers and flow
is in the low range, close the skimmer the cleaner is not attached to.

If the flow is in the high range, review the installation procedures. Lower Flowkeeper setting to #1.

Note: If the automatic pool cleaner is climbing the walls excessively, that is an indication that the flow is too high. Review the installation
procedures and insure the Flowkeeper is set at setting #1. For additional assistance contact Technical Service 1-888-786-7797.
