SECTION 1 – PREPARING YOUR POOL FILTRATION SYSTEM
5
AD FLOW VALVE
The use of the Zodiac AD Flow Valve is recommended on pools with only one
skimmer box/suction point, or when the filtration system needs to be used but the
pool cleaner does not, such as when people are swimming in the pool. It regulates
the flow of water to the pump through the pool cleaner. As the filter collects
debris, the valve automatically maintains the correct flow to the cleaner. For
installation of the AD Flow Valve see below:
For connection of the AD Flow Connector into a non standard skimmer plate see below:
Waterco Skimmer Box = Screw in the AD Flow Valve connector from the top of the skimmer plate.
Poolrite Skimmer Box = Screw in the AD Flow Valve connector from the bottom of the skimmer plate.
Pool Rite Skimmer Plate Waterco Skimmer Plate
The AD Flow Valve comes preset at a factory setting of 2 to obtain maximum pool
cleaning efficiency. If your water flow requires a higher or lower setting, you can
adjust the valve to one of three settings: High (Setting 3), Medium (Setting 2) or
Low (Setting 1).
You will only need to adjust the AD Flow Valve when the following occurs:
