General Information
2A. Introduction
The Jandy Ray-Vac
®
automatic pool cleaner is
designed to both vacuum and sweep your swimming
pool. The cleaner head moves in a random submerged
pattern about the pool, traveling, vacuuming and
cleaning from the pool floor to the water line. Its pattern
is determined by the shape of the pool, the
hydrodynamics of the cleaner design, adjustments of the
water pressure, and the forward and backward motion
created by the patented backup jet system.
The pool cleaner, by the use of its large suction
mouth, will vacuum dirt, leaves, and debris and store it
in its own chamber located in the cleaner head. In
addition, its drive jets are angled slightly downward
creating a powerful jet action to sweep any small debris
down to the main drain where it is removed by the filter
system.
In most typical residential pools, the pool cleaner
will eliminate 90% or more of the manual labor
involved in cleaning the pool. Because many of the
factors present in a swimming pool, such as shape of the
pool, location of the return lines, mounting point of the
cleaner, etc., there may be small areas where dirt tends
to collect. Usually, these areas are small and are
considered normal.

Grab the cleaner by the nose wheel and lift it out
of the pool (direct water coming from cleaner
toward the pool. See Fig 1).
