Suction-Side Pool Cleaner
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Zodiac Baracuda T5 Duo suction-side pool cleaner. Built

tion and years of carefree operation.
The Baracuda T5 Duo connects to a dedicated cleaner (suction) line or a pool skimmer. As water flows
through the cleaner, dirt and debris are pulled directly into the pool filtration system.
Before installing the cleaner, please take a few moments to become familiar with its components and to
review the items listed under

Notice for Vinyl Liner Pools
: Before installing your new automatic pool cleaner, examine the interior
of your pool carefully. If the vinyl liner is brittle or has stones, wrinkles, roots or metal corrosion in
contact with the underside of the liner, or has damage to the base material or supporting walls, do
not install the cleaner before having a qualified professional perform the necessary repairs or liner
replacement.
Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc. will not be responsible for liner damage.
Please see the
Limited Warranty.
•
To help prevent suction entrapment accidents,
wall vacuum fittings should have a safety vac
lock installed. Contact your builder or retail pool professional for details.
• Clean the skimmer basket, pump basket and pool filter before installing the cleaner and on a
regular basis thereafter.
• Always disconnect the cleaner before cleaning or backwashing the pool filter. After cleaning, let
the filtration system run for at least five (5) minutes before re-connecting the cleaner.
• Remove the cleaner from the pool before chemical or shock treatments. Wait a minimum of four
(4) hours after super chlorination before re-installing the cleaner.
