Great White Installation and User’s Guide
Section 2
Installation
This section describes how to install the Great White pool cleaner. Great White is designed to work in a wide
variety of swimming pools. Both the standard in-skimmer installation and optional vac port installation are
covered below. If your pool configuration is unlike any of the examples, contact your Pentair Water Pool and
Spa dealer for assistance, or call our toll-free Customer Helpline at 1-800-831-7133.
Standard Installation
For pools with one skimmer, using the vacuum regulator
The manufacturer recommends the Standard Installation through the pool’s skimmer (Figure 8)
The advantage of this installation is its use of the vacuum regulator (Figure 9) to balance the water
flow between the skimmer and the Great White pool cleaner. The vacuum regulator can be adjusted
to changes in the amount of water flow to provide Great White with the power necessary to ensure
proper cleaning performance, and the manufacturer strongly recommends its use for maximum safety
and performance.
1. Turn the pool pump off
2. Adjust valves for vacuuming
Adjust the pump valves (if your system has valves) to direct all suction to the skimmer. Close the main drain
and all suction lines, except the line from the skimmer to which Great White will be connected.
3. Remove the skimmer basket from the skimmer
4. Install vacuum regulator
WARNING! Hazardous suction. Can cause entrapment with severe personal injury or drowning.
Use the vacuum regulator in conjunction with your pool cleaner system at all times. The vacuum regulator
has an adjustment knob (Figure 9). If suction is too high, the knob is turned counterclockwise to decrease
the suction. If the suction is too low, the knob is turned clockwise to increase the suction.
