? Disconnect the suction hose from the skimmer inlet. Loosen the clamp that secures the hose and hold the hose so
that no water leaks and submerge immediately in the pool so that it remains primed.
? Weigh down the end of the this hose with a heavy object which cannot damage the liner so that it is forced to sink to
the bottom of the pool.
? Start up the pump and drain the pool. Remember that the filter will not fully drain the pool. When a few cm. of water
are left and the pump no longer sucks in water, shut it off.
? Once the pump to drain the pool is on, do not stop the process until it is finished, to ensure that it does not become
unprimed.
? If you are going to refill the pool with water, first remove the remaining water by hand without damaging the liner.
? If you are going to disassemble the pool, you can fold the liner with the remaining water in the centre.
? Remove the plate in the DREAM POOL model or the tubes in the JET POOL model.
? Unfold the liner in order to drain it fully.
? This operation should not be performed except to disassemble the pool.
5.4.2 AR-135E , AR-140E model
(with self-supporting skimmer for Magic Pools):
To empty the pool, you can use the pool drain or the cleansing unit:
? Raise the self-supporting skimmer until it is hanging outside the pool, to prevent water from entering the skimmer.
? Disconnect the suction hose from the skimmer inlet by the outer part of the pool wall. Loosen the clamp that secures
the hose carefully so that the liner is not damaged. Hold the hose so that it does not leak and submerge it immediately
in the pool so that it remains primed.
? Weigh down the end of the suction hose with a heavy object that cannot damage the liner so that it is forced to sink to
the bottom of the pool.
? Start up the pump and drain the pool. Remember that the filter will not fully drain the pool. When the pump no longer
sucks in water, shut if off.
? Once the pump to drain the pool is on, do not stop the process until it is finished, to ensure that does not become
unprimed.
? If you are going to refill the pool with water, first remove the remaining water through the drain without damaging
the pool.
THE HOSE SHOULD NOT CONTINUE SUCTIONING THE BOTTOM OF THE POOL LINER. THE PUMP MAY BE
SERIOUSLY DAMAGED IF IT OPERATES WITHOUT WATER CIRCULATION. THE LINER MAY ALSO BE
5.5 Cleaning the bottom of the pool
In order to clean the bottom of the pool, use the pump filter with one of the following accessories:
"Kidney-shaped" bottom cleaner/ AR-206, "Oval" bottom cleaner / AR-207 (you will also need a ø38 mm hose / AR-210
and the pole / AR-102). To purchase these items, consult your establishment or ask the After-Sales Service provided by
the pool manufacturer. Always use original replacement parts.
A hose which extends beyond the length required to reach all points of the pool is more difficult to use. Cut off the section
of the hose which is not needed. Check that the rubber terminals are sealed.
5.5.1 Priming the bottom cleaner hose:
Slowly insert the bottom cleaner into the pool vertically, with the pole and the hose connected. Let it fill with water and
keep the rest of the hose outside of the water. Continue to insert the hose in the water slowly in 50 cm sections which
should be submerged at the same time as they are completely filled with water. Proceed up until the end, when the entire
hose is filled with water and submerged. If the hose is not fully primed, the bottom cleaner will not perform suction and the
cleansing unit may be damaged if it is forced to operate when it is empty.
5.5.2 AR-135, AR-135L, AR-140 , AR-140L model
(with wall skimmer for Dream Pools and Jet Pool swimming pools):
Place the suction cover accessory inside the skimmer with the inlet facing upwards. Do not remove the basket.
Prime the hose.
From INSIDE THE POOL, pass the end of the hose through the skimmer hatch. Make sure that no air enters. Connect it
to the suction cover inlet and secure it at an angle to facilitate the connection. Then set it into place in a horizontal
position and continue to insert the hose. Be careful not to damage the skimmer hatch during this operation. The skimmer
water level must be at the maximum level. It should be located above the connection between the cover and the hose to
prevent air from entering.
Start up the pump on the filtration setting and proceed to clean the bottom of the pool.
5.5.3 AR-135E, AR-135ES , AR-135EUK AR-140E, AR-140ES or AR-140EUK model
(with self-supporting skimmer for Magic Pools):
DAMAGED BECAUSE OF SUCTION.
