Suction Side Pool Cleaner Installation and User’s Guide

 

CLEANER ADJUSTMENTS AND OPERATION

After installation, turn the pool pump on. The Rebel

®

 2 Suction Side Pool Cleaner should be moving about the

 

 

pool at a rate of 8-9metres per minute. Be sure to check each of the following initial adjustments.

Hose Length

Note:  The pump must be on when you check the 

hose length. The hose contracts when the pump is 

operating and will be longer when the pump is off.

While the cleaner is operating: 
1.  Position cleaner at the furthest point of the 

pool  from  where  it’s  attached.  Use  a  pool 

pole and brush to easily position the cleaner 

in the pool. 

2.

 

The hose should be long enough to reach the 

end of the pool, plus one hose section and 

the leader hose. See  Figure 12 .

3.

 

Remove any excess hose lengths from the 

middle of the hose assembly. This will ensure 

you do not alter the position of the hose float.

4.  Save  extra hose sections for use as needed 

for replacement. 
Note:  Turn  pool  pump  off  when  adding  or 

removing hose sections.

Eyeball Diverter Positions

Position the diverter opening to redirect the return line 

water flow so it does not interfere with the cleaner’s 

movement. Try different positions to see which works 

best in your pool:

• flow directed along the side of pool (the tile line).

• flow directed downward.

• flow directed against the hose will help steer the 

cleaner away from obstructions such as stairs and 

ladders.

After installing the eyeball diverter, turn the pool pump 

on. The cleaner should begin moving across the pool 

floor vacuuming up debris in its path.

The Flow gauge is used to fine-tune the performance of your Pentair in-ground, suction side Automatic pool 
cleaner. We recommend that the Flow gauge be used periodically to check for proper water flow so that your 
Pentair Automatic pool cleaner performs at its best.

If you do not have the flow gauge originally included with your cleaner, following the steps below will allow you
to calculate the cleaner speed and adjust RPM as needed.

1.  While the cleaner is running, bring the cleaner up to just beneath the pool’s water surface.
 

Note:

 Be sure to keep the cleaner submerged while the pump is operating. This prevents the cleaner from 

pulling air into the pool system.

2.  Count the number of full rotations made by the wheel over a period of one minute. The number of rotations 

will give you the revolutions per minute; or RPM’s. An easy way to be sure you are counting full rotations is by 
counting the number of times the wheel hump passes by the swivel assembly.

3.  For proper performance, the Rebel

®

 2 cleaner operates between 16-18 RPM.

 

If the RPM is below 16 adjust the regulator valve (rotate adjustment knob clockwise) and repeat steps 1-2 
until the RPM falls back into the optimal range. If the RPM is higher than 18 adjust the regulator valve (rotate 
adjustment knob counterclockwise) and repeat steps 1-2 until the RPM falls back into the optimal range.

Step 1  Clean your filtration system, skimmer basket, 

and pump strainer basket.

Step 2  With the pool pump in the off position, insert 

the Flow gauge to the Hose cuff end of 
the Leader hose. This is the same end that 
connects to the Automatic pool cleaner.

Step 3  Attach one end of the Double C clip to the 

leader hose closes to the Flow gauge.

Step 4  Attach the other end of the Double C clip to 

the first hose section.

Step 5  After making sure that the hose and Flow gauge 

are submerged below the water level, turn the 
pump on.

Step 6   Adjust the water flow so that the indicator lines 

up between the “Min” and “Max” markings of the 
Flow gauge.

   

Refer to the Installation Manual of your Automatic 
Pool Cleaner for instructions on using either the 
valves in the filter system or the Pentair Regulator 
valve to adjust the water flow.

Step 7  Turn off the Pump and remove the Flow gauge 

and Double C clip.

Step 8  Install the Automatic pool cleaner onto the 

Leader hose.

Note:

 The pump must be on when you check the

operating and will be longer when the pump is off.

1.  Position cleaner at the furthest point of the pool 

from where it’s attached. Use a pool pole and 
brush to easily position the cleaner in the pool.

2.  The hose should be long enough to reach the

leader hose. See Figure 12 .

3.  Remove any excess hose lengths from the 

middle of the hose assembly. This will ensure 
you do not alter the position of the hose float.

4.  Save extra hose sections for use as needed for 

replacement.

 

Note:

 Turn pool pump off when adding or 

removing hose sections.

of 8-9metres per minute. Be sure to check each of the following initial adjustments.

Position the diverter opening to redirect the return line
water flow so it does not interfere with the cleaner’s
movement. Try different positions to see which works
best in your pool:

  flow directed along the side of pool (the tile line).

  flow directed downward.

  flow directed against the hose will help steer the 

cleaner away from obstructions such as stairs and 
ladders.

After installing the eyeball diverter, turn the pool pump 
on. The cleaner should begin moving across the pool 
floor vacuuming up debris in its path.
