Test and Adjust for Proper Flow
Disconnect the cleaner head and attach the Flow Tester. Keep the Flow Tester under water and have
someone turn on the pump.
Verify that the red indicator in the Flow Tester (viewed from the side) is at the Number 3 setting.
All these operations must be carried out under water so that the pump does not take in air.
If necessary, use the valves in the pool equipment area to adjust the flow.
•
For skimmer connections on pools with one skimmer, flow is automatically regulated by the
Automatic Flow Adjustmentr™ Valve. The red indicator should be at the proper setting.
•
For skimmer connections on pools with more than one skimmer, leave the valve for the
skimmer connected to the hose open and slowly close the other until the proper setting is reached.
•
For dedicated suction line connections, leave the vacuum line open to the cleaner and slowly
close the skimmer line until the flow is at the proper setting.
If flow is in the low range (0-2):
• Check and clean the pool filter and baskets if necessary.
• Verify that valves controlling the suction lines are in the correct position.
If flow is in the high range (4-6):
• Verify that valves controlling the suction lines are in the correct position.
• Lower the flow setting on the Flow Adjustment Valve. The automatic flow adjustment valve is pre-set
in the factory to number 3, the most suitable position for European pools. For an optimal
performance from your cleaner, you could move the valve between first to third position.
