INGROUND AUTOMATIC POOL CLEANER
INSTALLATION GUIDE
HOW YOUR ZODIAC AUTOMATIC POOL CLEANER WORKS
•
Your pool pump pulls water from the main drain and the skimmer through a strainer basket, then pushes the water through the
filter system and back into the pool through the return inlets.
•
The Zodiac Automatic Pool Cleaner connects to the skimmer or dedicated vacuum line with the hose sections provided. Water
flows through the diaphragm of the cleaner at a rate of 14 to 19 gallons per minute.
•
Diverting or re-directing the return inlets downward breaks up the circulation pattern of water within the pool. This allows
random cleaning around the pool.
•
Most common problems can be eliminated, by reading through the entire manual before installing your new Zodiac.
