SandShark
™
Installation and User’s Guide
Return Line Water Flow Adjustments
Important:
The cleaner must move randomly throughout the pool. Water circulating at the surface will influence
the hose thus limiting the SandShark’s coverage. It may cause the SandShark
™
to steer away from the end of
the pool where the return line is located, or it may cause the SandShark
™
to remain in one section of the pool.
To correct this, use the eyeball diverter included with your SandShark
™
. (If the eyeball does not fit your pool,
use the wire diverter (P/N K121620) accessory available for purchase from your Pentair Water Pool and Spa
dealer.)
Eyeball Diverter Positions
1. Position the diverter opening to
redirect the return line water
flow so it does not interfere with
the SandShark’s movement as
shown in Figure 29.
2. To adjust the Eyeball Diverters;
loosen the lock ring and redirect
the Eyeball Diverters slightly
downwards and also try different
directions to see what works best
in your pool.
•
flow directed along the side of
pool (the tile line).
•
flow directed downward.
•
flow directed against the hose will help steer the SandShark™ away
from
obstructions such as stairs and ladders.
Allow time for the body of water to settle into the new pattern.
3. If it is difficult to adjust your existing Eyeball Diverters, replace the eyeball component
with the new Eyeball Diverters (included).
To install the eyeball diverter:
1. First make sure your
pool pump is off.
Remove the original eyeball from the return
line at the pool by unscrewing the lock ring.
3. Replace the original eyeball with the
SandShark’s eyeball diverter, (see Figure 30).
4. Replace the lock ring and tighten. Make
sure the opening of the eyeball diverter
points in the proper direction before
tightening fully. See “Eyeball Diverter
Positions” above.
5. After installing the eyeball diverter,
turn
the pool pump on
. The SandShark
™
should
begin moving across the pool floor vacuuming
up debris in its path.
