Pool Vac Ultra
IMPORTANT TIPS
Some skimmers have a vari-flow or diverter valve in the bottom of the skimmer. This valve can be turned to
regulate skimming and main drain suction. Turn the valve to full skim and then adjust the Flow Gauge vacuum
gauge by turning the valve toward main drain suction. Usually this valve is the same size as the Pool Vac Ultra hose
end, and it will therefore be necessary to purchase a V098 Hose Adapter
(see Figure 7)
.
After the proper gauge reading has been established, the diverter valve will have to be locked in place with
a wedge of some kind so that it won't change position with operation of the Pool Vac Ultra.
2. Periodically check the water flow/vacuum to be sure that the Pool Vac Ultra is operating as efficiently as
possible. Remember, too much vacuum is just as bad as too little.
3. Periodically check to make sure that the Pool Vac Ultra hose is securely attached to its suction source (i.e.
Skimmer, Skimmer Vac Plate, Vac Lock, etc.)
4. Disconnect the Pool Vac Ultra hose from the skimmer/regulator valve, or, if using a “dedicated line”, turn
cleaner valve off prior to “backwashing”, so as not to restrict water flow.
5. Never coil the Pool Vac Ultra hose.
Coiled hose is not covered under the warranty.
6. When the Pool Vac Ultra is out of the pool, always disconnect the leader hose from the Navigator head.
7. Always carry Pool Vac Ultra by the molded-in handle.
Do not carry it by the hose.
8. When swimming in the pool, remove Pool Vac Ultra from the water.
9. If you are going to super chlorinate, shock, or add gas chlorine to your pool, make sure the cleaner and its
hose are removed prior to doing so.
