Great White Installation and User’s Guide
Section 3
Operation
This section contains information describing the movement and operation of your Great White Cleaner, as
well as tips for “fine-tuning” your pool’s valves and connections to optimize Great White’s cleaning ability.
Cleaner Operation and Movement
Clicking sound
This is the sound of the oscillator moving back and forth in the oscillator chamber. The best speed for it is
about 500 oscillations per minute. The vibration created by the oscillator moves the bristles and the cleaner.
If the oscillator is running too fast, the cleaner will have a tendency to climb up the pool wall past the
waterline, or “walk out of the pool” and suck air. Reduce the speed by adjusting the vacuum regulator in
the skimmer.
Movement around the pool
Random motion – The cleaner will visit most spots in the pool within a six (6) hour period. It is not
specifically programmed, and cannot see the dirt you are seeing. It is a random motion pattern.
The cleaner was designed to spend most of its time in the deep end, where most of the floor and wall area
exists. During a six (6) hour period, the cleaner will visit the shallow end a few times.
Rotating motion – The cleaner will rise up on one side and pivot a few times per minute. This is normal
and provides the following:
1. Allows leaves that are being pushed or dragged along to be sucked up into the vacuum chamber.
2. Allows the cleaner to:
Change direction
Get out of corners
Get away from ladders
Submerge below pool water level
Get off of domed main drain covers
Picks up “big stuff”
The cleaner will pick up some debris so large that it may jam. Simply stop the pump and remove the debris
from the oscillator, or the swivel assembly.
