Connect to a skimmer:
The FlowKeeper™ valve must always be used in single skimmer
installations. The valve regulates flow to ensure the pool pump and
cleaner run properly.
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 (Figure 3).
1. Remove the skimmer basket.
2. Connect the valve cuff, FlowKeeper valve and the 45 degree
elbow together.
3. Twist lock the male end of the hose into the end of the 45 degree
elbow.
4. Insert the skimmer pipe with arrow pointing down.
Connect to a dedicated suction line:
1. Twist lock the male end of the hose into the large end
of the extended 45° elbow.
2. Connect elbow to the installed Safety Vac
wall fitting (sold separately).
3. Angle the elbow upward towards the water surface
(Figure 4).
Determine correct hose length for your pool:
1. Measure enough hose to reach the farthest point of the pool from the skimmer
or dedicated suction line. Remove any additional hose sections, as necessary.
See (a) in Figure 5, below.
2. Next attach the leader hose at to the end where the cleaner head will be
connected. See (b) in Figure 5, below. The extra length allows the cleaner to
reach the far point in the pool if a loop forms while in operation.
