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 full of water. Turn off the
pump.
To connect to a dedicated suction line
or vacuum point:
1. Twist lock the male end of the hose into the large end of the
45° elbow.
2. Connect the elbow to the valve cuff and to the dedicated
suction inlet.
3. Angle the elbow upward towards the water surface.
To connect to a skimmer:
The Automatic Flow Adjustment™ 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. Choose
the fitting combination that best suits the skimmer to complete
the connection.
1. Remove the skimmer basket.
2. Connect the Automatic Flow Adjustment Valve with the valve
cuff and the 45° Elbow. Then, connect this complete assembly
with the arrow pointing down towards the skimmer pipe.
