MAINTAINING YOUR POOL CLEANER

CLEANING AND CHANGING THE FILTER BAG

Thoroughly cleaning the Filter Bag (see step 4 below) after every use is the most important maintenance step you can take to ensure

optimum performance of your cleaner.

.The.Filter.Bag’s.(Page.4,.Fig..3).holding.capacity.is.large.in.comparison.to.all.other.brands.of.

independent.pool.cleaners,.but.far.smaller.than.that.of.a.pool’s.main.filter...Perhaps.it.is.more.important.to.know.that.your.cleaner’s.

Filter.Bag.can.filter.out.particles.down.to.20.times.smaller.than.what.many.main.filters.can...This.means.that.the.fine.particles.such.as.

algae.and.bacteria,.invisible.to.the.naked.eye,.which.slip.through.the.main.filter.and.back.into.the.pool.to.settle.into.the.pores.of.the.
pool’s.surface,.will.be.scrubbed.loose.and.vacuumed.up.by.your.cleaner.and.retained.in.its.Filter.Bag...Therefore,.although.you.may.
see.only.a.fine.coating.of.dirt,.the.Filter.Bag.itself.may.be.deeply.saturated.with.ultra.fine.particulate.matter.from.your.pool’s.large.
surface.area.and.the.flow.of.water.through.it.becomes.restricted.and.suction.is.reduced..This.will.result.in.remaining.dirt.and.debris.

not.being.completely.removed.from.the.pool.

Also,.strong.water.flow.is.required.to.force.the.cleaner.against.the.wall.when.climbing...A.dirty.Filter.Bag.weighs.the.cleaner.down,.
making.it.hard.for.your.cleaner.to.climb.due.to.the.added.weight.and.reduced.water.flow...This lack of climbing may limit your cleaner’s
ability to cover the entire pool and pick up any more dirt...

Therefore, it is important to clean the Filter Bag thoroughly (see step 4 below)

with every use so that the fine particles that get trapped within the fibers of the Filter Bag are removed.

To Clean The Filter Bag:

1.. Unplug.the.Power.Supply.(Fig..7a).
2.. If.your.cleaner.is.in.the.pool,.gently.pull.it.toward.you.using.

the.Floating.Cable.(Fig..7b).until.the.Handle.is.within.reach...

Use.the.Handle.(not the Floating Cable).to.slowly.pull.your.

cleaner.out.of.the.pool.after.allowing.most.of.the.water.to.

drain.from.your.cleaner.back.into.the.pool.

IMPORTANT:

Using. the. Floating. Cable. to. lift. the.

cleaner.out.of.the.water.will.cause.severe.damage.to.

your.cleaner.and.may.result.in.costly.repair!

3.. Lay.your.cleaner.on.its.back.or.side.on.a.soft.surface.to.avoid.

scratching.it...Individually.pull.each.Lock.Tab.gently.away.

from.your.cleaner’s.body.to.free.the.Bottom.Lid.(Fig..8).

4.. Remove.the.Filter.Bag.from.the.Wire.Frame.Bag.Supports.

(Fig..9a),.turn.it.inside.out.and.with.a.high.pressure.garden.

hose,.wash.off.all.the.dirt.from.the.inside.out.or.dunk.it.in.

a. clean. bucket. of. water. and. wring. the. Bag. continuously.

until.the.rinse.water.is.clear..If.necessary,.you.may.machine.

wash. (Gentle. Cycle. /. Cold. Water. only). the. Bag. with. NO

DETERGENT.. . You. may. re-install. the. bag. immediately. or.

allow.it.to.air.dry.(never.iron.or.machine.dry.the.Filter.Bag).

5.. Re-install. the. Bag. on. the. Wire. Frames. of. the. Bottom. Lid.

Filter.Bag.is.facing.in...To.ensure.a.proper.fit.of.the.Filter.

Bag.onto.the.Bottom.Lid.Assembly,.locate.the.Small.Label.

near.the.Filter.Bag’s.elastic.bottom...Position.the.Filter.Bag.

so.that.the.Small.Label.is.at.the.center.of.either.long.side.of.

the.Bottom.Lid.(Fig..9a)...Then.pull.the.elastic.bottom.over.

each.Wire.(Fig..9b).and.slide.the.Filter.Bag.down.along.the.

Wires.until.the.Bag.reaches.the.Bottom.Lid...At.that.point.

the.Filter.Bag’s.elastic.bottom.should.be.stretched.over.the.

plastic.ridges.located.at.the.base.of.the.Bottom.Lid...This.

holds.the.Filter.Bag.in.place...Pull.the.Filter.Bag.corners.to.

the.top.corners.of.the.Wire.Frame.and.pull.the.extra.Bag.

material.from.each.corner.inwards.along.the.top.center.of.

the.Wire.Frames.(Fig..9b).

6.. Re-install.the.Bottom.Lid.Assembly.into.the.bottom.of.your.

cleaner...Be.sure.that.the.Filter.Bag’s.fabric.is.not.interfering.

with.the.locking.of.the.Lock.Tabs.and.that.you.clearly.hear.

IMPORTANT: Although a Filter Bag may appear clean it is capable of microfiltering out particulates 20 times smaller

than what the naked eye can see! It is crucial to thoroughly clean the Bag with each use to ensure its ability to

properly cover and clean your pool!
