CONGRATULATIONS !
You have just become the owner of the latest and
most sophisticated automatic pool cleaners.
The Pool vac ultra cleaner is powered by your
pool's filtration system and is designed to operate
with most existing systems. Its performance will the-
refore depend on how powerful your pump is.
INSTALLING
Coiling the hose may impair
the operation of the Pool vac
ultra cleaner. The warranty
does not cover problems cau-
sed by coiled hoses. Always
stow the lengths straight.
Remark: The Pool vac ultra should not be used
for the pool's first Spring-cleaning; unless the
conditions stated in steps 1 and 2 we met.
Whenever your pool is clogged with an unusual-
ly large amount of debris, take the necessary
steps to restore its 'pre-installation' appearance.
Always carry the Pool vac ultra by its handle.
Never by the hose.
THE POOL VAC ULTRA CLEANER
Step 1. Clean or back-wash your filter and clean
your pre-filter basket before installing the Pool vac
ultra. Clean your system regularly as the characte-
ristics of your installation dictate.
Step 2. Check the chemical properties of your
water. Make sure that the chemical balance is cor-
rect and that the pool is free of algae. Check the
pool and remove anything that might plug the suc-
tion port of your Pool vac ultra, in particular large
clumps of leaves.
Step 3. There are nine (9) 1,2 m connecting hoses
and a 1,2 m main hose with a grey end. Connect
the Pool vac ultra hose sections together. Insert the
male end of one hose firmly into the female end of
another hose and turn (see. figure 1). Depending on
the shape and size of your pool, you may not need
all the hoses. But you must always connect the
main hose, or the Pool vac ultra will not work pro-
perly. The hose lengths need not be forced home.
but must be tight enough to prevent air leaks.
Wetting the ends of the hoses will make it easier to
join them.

Step 4. From the skimmer. the complete hose
should reach the farthest part of the pool, with two
sections to spare for depth. This extra length is
essential to the proper operation of the Pool vac
ultra. If your complete hose is not long enough, you
will have to buy extra lengths from your dealer. After
connecting the correct length of hose. insert the leaf
trap and the AEV096 vacuum gauge between the
length of hose connected to the skimmer and the
next length. The vacuum gauge is used to measure
the water flow when the Pool vac ultra is started up
(see figure 2).
Step 5. Check that the rear flap adjustment knob is
in fact set to II, the intermediate position (see figure
3). Immerse the Pool vac ultra in the water to drive
out all trapped air. When al air has been eliminated,
the main hose can be connected. The main hose
has a grey end and a red sticker that must be remo-
ved. Connect the grey end to the Pool vac ultra (as
shown in figure 4) and immerse the hose to drive
out the air as for a manual cleaning.
Do not use the return line/inlet water to "sink" the
Pool vac ultra hose, as this will force air into the
cleaner head, and possibly cause performance pro-
blems.
Step 6. With the filtration system off, connect the
hose to the skimmer as shown in figures 5, 6. and
7. Figure 5 shows the connection of the hose to a
skimmer with a bottom suction port, using the
AEXV093BP adapter cone. Figure 6 shows the
connection to a port on the side or back, for which
the AEXV151 adapter cone, available from your
dealer, must be used. The hose may be connected
through either the slit or the cover of the skimmer.
Figure 7 shows the connection of the hose to a
skimmer with a direct suction port in the pool. The
AEXV093BP adapter cone is connected to the
connector supplied with your skimmer for the
manual cleaner. The prefilter cover supplied with
the skimmer must also be used for the Pool vac
ultra to work property. If the cover does not close
tight, get in touch with your dealer to see if another
accessory is needed.
Step 7. Start up the filtration system. Check the
level on the AEV096 vacuum gauge (see figure 2
for its installation). It measures the water flow crea-
ted by your pool's filtration system and should indi-
cate a vacuum of at least 100 mm (4"). The vacuum
should be about 25 mm (1") per length of hose
used. For example, if you use ten (10) lengths of
hose, you will adjust the water flow in the Pool vac
ultra so that the vacuum gauge indicates a vacuum
of 250 mm (10"), with a tolerance of plus or minus
25 mm (1"). This is a rough value, and a slightly
higher or lower reading is perfectly acceptable.
