Vacuuming Your Splash SuperPool
WARNING: Do not attempt to remove or install the
vacuum plate while pump and filter are running. The
suction is very powerful; fingers may get pinched
between the vacuum plate and the skimmer.
DO NOT swim in the pool while vacuum is running.
WARNING: Keep body parts away from vacuum
plate when in place and pump and filter are running.
To vacuum your pool, you may either use an automatic cleaner or the traditional manual method. If you choose
the manual method, you will need a 1.5" flexible vacuum hose of adequate length, a vinyl liner vacuum head, and
a telescopic pole.
Begin by turning pump and filter off, then place vacuum hose on vacuum head or automatic cleaner. Place
vacuum (either auto cleaner or vinyl vacuum head attached to end of telescopic pole) in pool, allowing hose to fill
with water. Continue to “feed” hose straight down into water, thus removing air from the hose and replacing it with
water. Once you get to the end of the hose, water will come out. Turn pump and filter on and begin vacuuming.
Automatic Vacuuming
With the pump turned off, place the Vacuum Adapter Plate ("N" on SuperPools, "L" on OmegaPools) on top of the
Floating Skimmer Weir ("J" on SuperPools, "H" on OmegaPools). Once the pump is turned on, the suction of the
pump will hold the plate in place.
Attach vacuum hose into adapter plate hole. Again, pump suction will hold hose in place. Turn on the pump and
filter; the pool is now ready to be vacuumed. The automatic vacuum will run on its own. When pool is clean, turn
off pump and filter, unplug vacuum hose, remove vacuum, and remove adapter plate. This is a good time to empty
any debris from the Skimmer Basket ("L" on SuperPools, "J" on OmegaPools). Finally, turn pump back on to
continue filtering.
