Vacuum
Maintenance is key to keeping your pool in good condition and your water clear and clean. Read the following instructions carefully and follow all the steps. You only need a few minutes per day to maintain ideal conditions for your pool.
- If the pool has a bottom drain, place three-way valve handle on SKIMMER to run only the skimmer
- Backwash
- Make sure the water level is ideal, i.e. three-quarters of the skimmer
- Connevt the vacuum hose to the vacuum head
Note : If you have a swivel-end vacuum hose, connect that end to the vacuum head rather than in the skimmer to avoid drawing air. Also, the swivel end prevents the hose fron tangling ehen the vacuum head is turned on the bottom.
- Connect the expandable pole to the handle on the vacuum head
- Lower the vacuum head to the bottom of the pool
- Place the non-swivel end of the hose in the return hole while firmly holding the pole. The hose will fill with water and air will come out fron under the head. When there are no more air bubbles, the hose is full of water and ready to be connected to the skimmer. Turn off the pump
- Place the vacuum adapter on the skimmer basket and place the non-swivel end of the vacuum hose on the adapter. If the vacuum has an elbow, place it on the adapter and connect the hose to the elbow
- For regular maintenance, leave the filter handle on FILTER
- If the pool is very dirty, palce the filter handle on DRAIN or WASTE and turn on the garden in the skimmer so that there is always plenty of water, otherwise the pump will draw air. For this step, do not forget to uncoil the backwash hose (if necessary)
- Activate the pump and vacuum. Backwash again and empty the skimmer and pump baskets
