The pump must be on when you check the hose length. The hose contracts when the pump is
operating and will be longer when the pump is off.
To determine correct hose balance, turn the pump off
and note the cleaner’s position in the pool. Correct
Hose Balance: Cleaner seal sits flat on the pool floor
and the drive tube makes 45° angle with the pool
floor.
For maximum cleaning coverage, the hose does not
pull up or down on the unit. Adjust hose weight one
inch at a time, as needed, to achieve proper hose
balance.
In pools with both shallow and deep areas, adjust hose weights first in the deep area and then in the shallow
area.
While the cleaner is operating:
1. Position cleaner at the furthest point of the pool from where it’s attached.
(Use a pool pole and brush to easily position the cleaner in the pool.)
2. The hose should be long enough to reach the end of the pool, plus one hose
section. (The hoses are universal hoses and fit directly into each other).
3. If there is excess hose, be sure to remove the sections from the center portion
of hose. This avoids disturbing the hose weight placement.
4. Save extra hose sections for use as needed for replacement. Always keep
extra hoses stored in a straight position.
Note: Turn pool pump off when adding or removing hose sections.

5. Slide the cleaner deflector wheel over the inner tube until located on top of the float assembly. The deflector
wheel does not align with the locating key on the main body and is able to spin freely on the top section of
the main body. (picture 5) NOTE: The deflector ring can be removed and replaced with a SPLASHER cone
to enhance performance, depending on pool shape
6. Slide the outer tube assembly down the inner tube and screw the nut into place as this will secure the
deflector wheel. (picture 6)
7. Connect sufficient lengths of cleaner hose to cover the distance from the pool skimmer box or weir to the
furthest point of your pool, plus one length. (picture 7)
8. Congratulations your SPLASHER pool cleaner is ready for installation into your pool!
