Optional Vacuum Line Installation, (Continued)

7.  Screw the threaded compression adapter into the vacuum connection in the 

bottom of the skimmer.

 Note:

 Use two wraps of plumber’s sealing tape around the threads to ensure 

easy removal. 

 

(If the opening in the bottom of the skimmer is not threaded, use a 2” hose cone. 
It is not included but can be purchased separately).

8.  Fasten the regulator cap onto the top of the adjustable regulator valve

 

This activates the adjustable regulator valve and assures that an accurate amount 
of water will fl ow through the vacuum line and the cleaner.

 

Without the regulator valve cap, the adjustable regulator valve and the cleaner 
will not function properly.

9.  Press the adjustable regulator valve into the threaded compression adapter.

10. If your pool does not have a Dedicated Suction Port, go to the instructions on 

page 4 or 5.
