connect the Hose
Turn on the filtration system and fill the hose with water by placing the end in front of a return inlet until it
is flooded. Turn off the pump.
To connect to a dedicated suction line:
1. Insert the male end of the hose into the large
end of the 45° elbow.
2. Connect the elbow to the safety
vac wall fitting.
3. Angle the elbow upward towards
the water surface.
To connect to a skimmer:
The FlowKeeper valve must always be used in single skimmer
installations. The valve regulates flow to ensure the pool pump and
cleaner run properly. It is pre­set at the factory to optimize the
performance of the cleaner, but offers three settings to adjust the flow.
The lower the setting number, the lower the flow. To adjust, pull the
handle and move setting up or down. The red tab can be used to
open the valve and stop the cleaner.
If the pool has more than one skimmer, connect the hose to
the one closest to the pump.
The parts used to connect the hose, and the sequence in which they
are installed depends on the type of skimmer.
