Note: In water 60° F (16° C) or less, it may be necessary
to increase flow to compensate for the reduced flexibility
of the hose and diaphragm.
• Ensure FlowKeeper Valve is installed with arrow
pointing down towards skimmer pipe.
• Adjust FlowKeeper Valve to increase flow to cleaner.
• Clean baskets and filter.
• Check diaphragm for damage or wear.
• If the pool has multiple skimmers, verify that the
skimmer not connected to the cleaner is closed.
• Check for air in system. If water level in pump basket
drops or you see excessive air bubbles in the pump
basket or coming from the return lines, there is air in the
system. Check hose connections, tighten all fittings at
pump and check gasket in pump basket for wear.
