Connect the Hose
RISK OF SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD, WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH. Ensure that your vacuum suction fittings installed in your pool for connection of
your suction-side pool cleaner are certified as being compliant with applicable safety standards such
as IAPMO SPS 4. Do not block the suction fittings with any part or your body. Do not expose your hair,
loose clothing, jewelry, etc. to any suction outlet fittings in the pool/spa.
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 pre-set 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.
