ABOUT "FINE-TUNING" VACUUM ADJUSTMENTS AND CONNECTIONS:
Too much vacuum?
You have too much vacuum if the cleaner climbs up the
pool wall past the water line to the point that the cleaner
sucks air and the pump loses prime. Frequent loss of
prime will damage the pump. To correct this, adjust the
regulator by turning the knob counter-clockwise. This
will decrease the suction. If the cleaner still climbs out
and sucks air, open the main drain valve slightly.
Not enough vacuum?
You don't have enough vacuum if the cleaner moves slug-
gishly or not at all. Be sure the filter system is clean and the
regulator and all valves are adjusted to give you maximum
vacuum. If the cleaner is still not moving, your pump may
not be strong enough to operate the cleaner. Also, please
refer to the Troubleshooting guide on Page 8.
In-Line leaf Canisters
If your pool is exposed to large quantities of leaves, we
suggest purchasing and installing an in-line leaf canister.
A leaf canister will provide more debris-loading capacity
and also provides a water by-pass when the canister is
full. It is very important that the pump not starve for
water!
Dedicated suction line/vac port/vac fitting
Some pools have a dedicated wall fitting just for vacu-
uming. If the wall fitting connection is used, you may
notice that the clear pump lid shows signs of bubbles or
what appears to be the presence of air. To eliminate this,
slightly open the main drain valve to supplement the
water intake. The cleaner may slow down a bit when
you change the suction.

Skimmer connection
Some pool owners remove the skimmer basket and con-
nect the hose directly into the bottom of the skimmer.
This method is OK for pools with minimal debris
and also for screened in pools.
For pools that have large quantities of "big stuff" to pick
up, we suggest using the bottom of the skimmer connec-
tion in conjunction with an in-line leaf canister (purchase
the cannister locally). A leaf canister will provide more
debris-loading capacity and also provides a water by-
pass when the canister is full. It is very important that the
pump not starve for water!
Skimmer vac plates
Some pool owners connect the hose to a skimmer vac
plate, which allows the skimmer basket to remain in the
skimmer. If this method is used, empty the basket fre-
quently. Also make sure that the vacuum regulator pro-
vided is completely submerged so that it will not suck air
and damage the pump.
Skimmer vac plate vacuum
control adjusters
Some pool owners use one of a variety of manufacturer's
skimmer vac plates. Some have a vacuum control adjuster,
and some do not. The adjuster could be a screw-type, a
spring loaded apparatus, or a dial design. For those vac
plates with adjusters, it is important to adjust them when
fine tuning the vacuum for the cleaner.
