5.4.1 Model with wall skimmer for Dream Pools and Jet Pool swimming pools :
? Remove the inner basket from the skimmer and cover the suction inlet with the plug supplied for this purpose.
? Disconnect the suction hose from the skimmer inlet. Loosen the clamp which secures the hose and support it so that
no water leaks and the filter remains primed.
? Remove the hose, covering the end so that it remains primed and submerge it immediately in the pool.
? Weigh down the end of the suction hose with a heavy object which can not 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 if off.
? If you are going to refill the pool with water, first manually remove the remaining water without damaging the liner.
? If you are going to disassemble the pool, you can fold the bag with the remaining water in the centre and, after
removing the plate, unfold the bag in order to drain it fully. This operation should not be performed except to
disassemble the pool.
5.4.2 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 which secures
the hose carefully so that the liner is not damaged. Hold the hose so that it does not leak and remains primed.
? Remove the hose, covering the end so that it remains primed and submerge it immediately in the pool.
? Weigh down the end of the suction hose from the skimmer inlet with a heavy object which can not 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.
? If you are going to refill the pool with water, first remove the remaining water through the drain without damaging the
pool.

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:
"Riñón" bottom cleaner, "Oval" bottom cleaner (you will also need a Ø38 mm and the pole). 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 conserve their seal.
5.5.1 Priming the bottom cleaner hose:
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 by 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 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.
Starting INSIDE OF THE POOL, place 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 Model with self-supporting skimmer for Magic Pools :
Remove the upper floating ring of the skimmer. Then, without removing the preliminary filtration basket, place the suction
cover accessory on the upper part of the skimmer with the inlet facing upwards and submerge the skimmer inside the
pool to a point which ensures that the suction cover does not draw in air.
Prime the hose.
Make sure that no air enters the hose and connect it to the suction cover inlet. The connection of the hose and the cover
should always remain submerged in order to prevent air from entering.
Start up the pump and proceed to clean the bottom of the pool.
