Operating your Suction Pool Cleaner
Before installing or purchasing a pool cleaner for use with your ProMaster
pool pump, it is important to know the minimum flow rates required for it to
operate effectively.
To operate a suction pool cleaner with your
ProMaster Premium VSD400 pump:
1. Activate the High Flow setting (10) and allow the pump to fully prime by
running for around 2 minutes. You will know the pump is primed when you
can see a strong flow of water through the clear leaf basket lid.
2. When all air is expelled from the leaf basket, connect the pool cleaner
hose firmly into the skimmer plate or dedicated wall suction.
3. Select the speed setting that enables best performance from your suction
pool cleaner. Speed 3 to 7 should be ample for most cleaners, however if
the cleaner requires better performance, select speeds 7 to 10. A Davey
PoolSweepa suction pool cleaner is recommended to run between speeds
2 to 3.
4. The cleaner should only be connected for as long as is required to clean
the surface of your pool. When cleaning is complete, disconnect the
cleaner and remove the skimmer plate from the skimmer box.

DO NOT keep
the suction pool cleaner connected when cleaning is not required.
5. Reactivate the most efficient speed setting for daily filtration. Speeds 1 to 4
is recommended.

The strainer basket should be inspected frequently through the transparent
lid and emptied when a build up of rubbish is evident. The directions below
should be followed.
1. Switch off pump.
2. Unscrew the strainer basket lid anti-clockwise and remove.
3. Remove the strainer basket by lifting upwards from its housing.
4. Empty the trapped refuse from the basket. Hose out with water if necessary.
NOTE: NEVER knock the plastic basket on a hard surface as it will cause damage.
