The Flowkeeper Valve
MUST BE
used on all installations. The pool pump
provides more gallon per minute flow than your pool cleaner requires. The
Flowkeeper provides a way to regulate the flow with a bypass so the pool
pump and the pool cleaner run properly.
Skimming action is maintained through a bypass throat in the valve. As the
filter collects debris, the valve automatically maintains the correct flow to the
cleaner. The Flowkeeper Valve comes preset at the setting required for your
cleaner. There are a total of three setting options. The lower the setting
number, the lower the flow to the cleaner head. Should readjustment become
necessary, pull the adjustment handle to raise or lower the setting. The red tab
on the valve can be used to keep the bypass open, which in most cases, will
cause the cleaner to stop.
