Suction-Side Pool Cleaner
Connect the Hose
WARNING
RISK OF SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD, WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS IN-
JURY OR DEATH. READ THIS MANUAL IN ITS ENTIRETY BEFORE INSTALLING AND OPERATING THE
CLEANER.
Ensure that your vacuum suction fittings installed in your pool for connection of your suction-side
pool cleaner are certified as being compliant with applicable safety standards such as IAPMO SPS 4. Do not
block the suction fittings in the pool, the suction opening on the cleaner, or the cleaner hoses with any part of
your body. Do not expose your hair, loose clothing, jewelry, etc. to any suction outlet fittings in the pool/spa or
on the cleaner.
Turn on the filtration system and fill the hose with water by placing the end in front of a return inlet until it is flooded.
Turn off the pump.

To connect to a dedicated suction line:
1. Attach the male end of the hose to the
twist-lock elbow.
2. Connect the elbow to the safety vac wall fitting.
3. Angle the elbow upward towards the water surface
(see diagram).
To connect to a skimmer:
The FlowKeeper™ valve must always be used
in single
skimmer installations
. The valve regulates flow to ensure the
pool pump and cleaner run properly. It is pre-set at the factory
to optimize the performance of the cleaner, but offers three (3)
settings to adjust the flow. The lower the setting number, the
lower the flow. To adjust, pull the handle and move setting up or
down. The red tab can be used to open the valve and stop the
cleaner.
If the pool has more than one (1) skimmer, connect the hose
to the one (1) closest to the pump.
The parts used to connect the hose and the sequence in
which they are installed depend on the type of skimmer.
1. Remove the skimmer basket.
2. Insert the valve cuff and connect the FlowKeeper with the
arrow pointing down towards the bottom of the skimmer.
3. Choose the fitting combination that best suits the
skimmer to complete the connection. Slide the
45° elbow over the FlowKeeper valve
and the male end of the hose over the elbow,
or slide the hose directly onto the FlowKeeper valve.
