3. Clean or Backwash the Pool Filter
Always disconnect the cleaner from the pool wall before cleaning or backwashing the pool filter. After
cleaning or backwashing, let the filtration system run for at least five (5) minutes to flush out the suction
lines before re-connecting the cleaner.
4. Adding Chemicals
Remove the cleaner from the pool for at least four (4) hours when adding chemicals.
5. Replace Brushes Regularly
To maintain optimal cleaning, it is recommended to replace scrubbing brushes each season or when
significant wear is visible (Figure 14). To remove brushes, squeeze the plastic clip between two fingers
and pull out. Type of pool surface may also increase rate of wear to brushes.

6. Storage
Never store the cleaner in direct sunlight. Do not coil the hose.
Hose may develop a memory which can affect cleaner performance. Store the cleaner on its side or back
to avoid damage to turbine (all models) and brushes (Figure 15).
7. Winterizing
Before storing for winter, drain out all the water (freeze damage is not covered by the warranty). Remove
all connectors and adapters from the dedicated suction line or skimmer. Disassemble the hoses and lay
flat.
