1. Before You Start

For best cleaner performance, you will need to follow the following steps of the installation.
1.1 Following manufacturer’s instructions, clean the filter and empty the skimmer and the pump strainer basket.
1.2 If your main drain is connected to the skimmer box, block off access.
1.3 Manually vacuum the pool.
1.4 Ensure circulation system is operating at maximum water flow, or you will need to re-adjust when it comes to 

clean the filter baskets.

1.5 Adjust water flow, from all return inlets: 
 

a)  Downward and toward each other OR

 

b)  Downward and toward the centre of the pool.

If return inlet directional fittings can’t be directed far enough 

down to prevent water flow affecting the natural movement 

of the hose, you will need to install return line diverters.  

2. AD Flow Valve

The AD Flow valve works by regulating the flow through the pool cleaner 

to the pump. As the filter collects debris, the valve will automatically 

maintain the correct flow.
The installation of the AD Flow valve will depend upon the type of 

skimmer box and Vac plate you have. It is either installed straight in from 

the top of the Vac plate or from the bottom of the Vac plate. 
See the 4 different cases below.

1st case:

 with Waterco

®

 Skimmer Box/Vac Plate

Screw in the AD Flow valve connector into the top of the Vac plate 

2nd case

: with Poolrite Skimmer Box/Vac Plate

Screw in the AD Flow valve connector into the bottom of the Vac plate. 

3rd case:

 with Speed Regulator/Skimtrol Vac Plate

Simply connect the 90 Degree Elbow into the top of  

the Vac Plate.
