Installation
Dedicated Vacuum Port: Locate the valve cover that you
set aside earlier and attach it to the male end of the regu-
lator valve (Figure 11A). This is important.
Now connect the covered regulator on the end of the hose
to the short hose section included with your cleaner. Use
the male-male adapter to connect the short hose section to
the dedicated vacuum port (Figure 11B).

Skimmer (Figure 12): If you are attaching the hose by going
past the weir into the bottom of the skimmer, remove the
skimmer basket and find the opening at the bottom of the
skimmer. (Some skimmers have an additional opening in
the base with a moveable cover. If so, close it.)
Thread the hose through the mouth of the skimmer and
attach the male end of the regulator valve to the main suc-
tion intake/opening as shown in Figure 12.

NOTE: When attaching the hose to a skimmer, do not
attach the valve cover which you set aside earlier. Instead
attach the valve directly to the suction opening. This will
allow larger debris to pass through to the basket in the
pump strainer for collection and disposal.
Check the following:
• Does the regulator valve/cover end fit snugly into the

• If you have a skimmer and a wall fitting for a suction

some electrical tape around the male end of the regu-
lator valve or use the adapter cone supplied as shown
in Figure 13.
cleaner, you can usually adjust the flow through each
using a valve/s located near the filter. If you cannot do
this and water is drawn through both sources, you can
plug the open end of the regulator valve, then insert it
into the bottom of the skimmer, and attach the cleaner
hose directly into the dedicated wall fitting (see Figure
14). (A plug is not supplied. See your pool professional
or a hardware store.) This arrangement will provide
some skimming action through the skimmer, and will
regulate the flow through the cleaner.
