VII. Maintenance
E-Z Vac
®
requires almost no maintenance. Visually inspect your E-Z Vac
®
from time to time to make
sure that:
• The flapper is moving freely and is not obstructed by debris.
• The footpad is not excessively worn. When the traction pads on the bottom have worn down, it is
time for replacement.
We recommend that you leave E-Z Vac
®
in your pool,
except during chemical shock treatments.
During swimming it is easy to unplug E-Z Vac
®
and pull it to one side.
When storing E-Z Vac
®
,
do not coil the hose.
Lay the hose out flat in an area protected from direct
sunlight. If hose sections are disconnected, try not to disturb the hose weight location.
To ensure optimum performance from your E-Z Vac
®
, we recommend the use of blue sectional hose by
Kreepy Krauly
®
.

About Your Pool and E-Z Vac
®
There are a multitude of factors that contribute to the life of your pool. The E-Z Vac
®
product is a very
passive product that will have no impact on pool life.
Please be aware that over time, deterioration, discoloration, weakness and brittleness of vinyl liners can
be caused separately by, or in combination with, age, the environment, an imbalance in pool water chemistry,
sunlight and the pool’s surroundings. In addition, vinyl-lined pools are affected by the workmanship,
composition and installation of the liner; and the workmanship and quality of construction of the supporting
walls and pool base. These are all factors which can contribute to liner failure. The existence of any of
these types of conditions in your pool is not caused by the use or operation of E-Z Vac
®
. The manufacturer
disclaims any liability for repairs or replacement to any of these structures or components in the customer’s
pool.
E-Z Vac
®
cleans any aboveground pool that has a banked or radius cove height of at least
6 inches (floor-to-wall angle). Pool coves of less than 6 inches, or the absence of a cove, will
inhibit the cleaner’s operation. See Figure 1 on page 7.
The pool owner must assume all responsibility for the condition and maintenance of the pool’s surface,
water and deck.
