JET-VAC
AUTOMATIC
POOL CLEANER
The Jet-Vac comes packaged in two separate boxes.
One box contains the head and hose assembly, and
the other contains the Booster Pump. The Jet-Vac
needs a low volume, high pressure Booster Pump to
operate correctly.
You may already have a booster pump at your
equipment pad. If so, proceed to the next section
after the Booster Pump Installation.
The Jet-Vac is designed to clean swimming pools
that have been pre-plumbed with a dedicated line
(pipe) that runs from its own Booster Pump to the
wall of the pool. At that point, most pools have
40mm (1½”) female threads. The Jet-Vac wall fitting
screws into this 40mm (1½”) female thread. If the
pool has 19mm (¾”) female threads, it will require the
Wall Adaptor 19mm (¾”) MPT x 40mm (1½”) FPT
Reducer Bushing or YMP002 Wall Adaptor.
QUICK DISCONNECTS:
Quick Disconnects are used at all important hose
junctions. They are easily snapped on and off by
pulling back on the ring and twisting on or off. Give a
tug at the connection to make sure it’s snug.
MENDER NUTS:
These plastic nuts provide a gripping hold over hose
ends that have been pushed down over various fittings
and connections. With the hose pushed tight over
the end of the fitting or connection, grasp the hose in
one hand and slide the mender nut toward the hose,
twisting until firmly in place over the hose end.
BOOSTER PUMP INSTALLATION:
Installation of the Booster Pump requires both
electrical and plumbing. The electrical connections
should be completed by a licensed electrician
in accordance with applicable electrical codes.
Remember, the Booster Pump is not self-priming
and must be installed
AFTER
the filter pump and
BEFORE
any chlorinating device, such as liquid
chlorine feeder, salt chlorinator or tablet feeder.
Booster Pump details are packaged in Booster
Pump box.
Please note, a Booster Pump is required for the
Jet-Vac to work. If you do not have an existing
booster pump please contact your local pool
professional.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
BEFORE YOU START, PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE DOCUMENT TO
ENSURE PROPER INSTALLATION AND CARE OF YOUR JET-VAC.
WALL FITTING INSTALLATION:
The Bayonet Wall Fitting conveys pressurised water
from the booster pump to the Jet Vac feed hoses.
There are two styles of Bayonet Wall Fittings, one of
which is factory fitted to the feed hose.
Both wall fittings contain a stainless steel strainer
screen and both provide a means to control the
water flow to the Jet Vac.
1)
Flush the Jet-Vac supply line by first turning ON
the Filter Pump and then the Booster Pump – for
30 seconds only – without the bayonet wall fitting
attached.
2)
Turn OFF both pumps.
3)
Remove the JV23 Wall Adaptor from the wall
fitting and screw adaptor by hand into the 1½”
female thread on the dedicated line. Turn until
tight – use wrench if necessary.
4)
Take the Bayonet Wall Fitting and twist lock
the wall fitting clockwise into the wall adaptor a
quarter turn to a snug fit.
Once the wall adaptor is secure you can now twist
lock and unlock to remove wall fitting with ease from
the wall adaptor, which stays firmly screwed in place.
It is important to periodically check and if necessary
clean the wall fitting strainer screen and also to
lubricate the o-ring.
