Fine-tuning valves and connections (continued)
Not enough vacuum?
You don’t have enough vacuum if the cleaner moves sluggishly or not at all. Be sure the filter system is clean
and the regulator and all valves are adjusted to give you maximum vacuum. If the cleaner is still not moving,
your pump may not be strong enough to operate the cleaner. Please refer to “Troubleshooting” on Page 17.
In-Line leaf canisters
If your pool is exposed to large quantities of leaves, we suggest purchasing and installing an in-line leaf
canister (part no. R211084K). A leaf canister will provide more debris-loading capacity and also provides a
water by-pass when the canister is full. It is very important that the pump not starve for water!
Skimmer connection
For pools that have large quantities of “big stuff” to pick up, we suggest using the bottom of the skimmer
connection in conjunction with an in-line leaf canister (part no. R211084K). A leaf canister will provide
more debris-loading capacity and also provides a water by-pass when the canister is full. It is very
important that the pump not starve for water!
Skimmer vac plates
Some pool owners connect the hose to a skimmer vac plate, which allows the skimmer basket to remain in
the skimmer. If this method is used, empty the basket frequently. Also make sure that the vacuum regulator
provided is completely submerged so that it will not suck air and damage the pump.
Skimmer vac plate vacuum control adjusters
Some pool owners use one of a variety of manufacturer’s skimmer vac plates. Some have a vacuum control
adjuster, and some do not. The adjuster could be a screw-type, a spring loaded apparatus, or a dial design.
For those vac plates with adjusters, it is important to adjust them when fine tuning the vacuum for the
cleaner.
