Quick Installation

Prepare the Pool

1. Manually vacuum the pool if excessive debris is present,
and make sure the pool filter and pump basket are clean.
2. Close the pool main drain line.
3. Adjust the return lines to blow downward
to break up surface circulation and ensure
complete cleaning coverage.
• Loosen the fitting lock ring
• Redirect the eyeball downward
• Retighten the lock ring
If the return fitting cannot be adjusted, the
fitting MUST be replaced with Zodiac return line
diverter (part #W90153 for 1 ½ in. (3.8 cm), #W90155 for
2 in. (5 cm) or #W24100 for pools without return fittings) .
Assemble the Hose
The hose uses easy twist-lock connectors. Push and twist the connectors on each hose section until they
lock into position with a clicking sound.
1. Connect enough hose to reach the farthest point of the pool; then add two (2) more hoses.
2. Position the hose weight at the end of the first hose section, about 39 in. (1 m) from the cleaner.

WARNING
RISK OF SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD, WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS IN-
JURY OR DEATH. READ THIS MANUAL IN ITS ENTIRETY BEFORE INSTALLING AND OPERATING THE
CLEANER. Ensure that your vacuum suction fittings installed in your pool for connection of your suction-side
pool cleaner are certified as being compliant with applicable safety standards such as IAPMO SPS 4. Do not
block the suction fittings in the pool, the suction opening on the cleaner, or the cleaner hoses with any part or
your body. Do not expose your hair, loose clothing, jewelry, etc. to any suction outlet fittings in the pool/spa or
on the cleaner.
Turn on the filtration system and fill the hose with water by placing the end in front of a return inlet until it
is flooded. Turn off the pump.
To connect to a dedicated suction line:
1. Attach the male end of the hose to the
45° twist-lock elbow.
2. Connect the elbow to the safety vac wall fitting.
3. Angle the elbow upward towards the water surface.
To 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. It is pre-set at the factory
to optimize the performance of the cleaner, but offers three (3)
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 (1) skimmer, connect the hose
to the one (1) closest to the pump.
The parts used to connect the hose and the sequence in
which they are installed depend on the type of skimmer.
1. Remove the skimmer basket.
2. Insert the valve cuff and connect the FlowKeeper with the
arrow pointing down towards the bottom of the skimmer.
3. Choose the fitting combination that best suits the
skimmer to complete the connection. Slide the
45° elbow over the FlowKeeper valve
and the male end of the hose over the elbow,
or slide the hose directly onto the FlowKeeper valve.
