Installation
INSTALL YOUR CLEANER
Step 1: Connect the hose sections (Figures 3 and 4).
For best results and to retain your warranty, use only gen-
uine Flotec hoses.
Join the Flotec hose sections one to another by fitting the
male end to the female end of the added section (see
Figure 3). Make sure the connections are snug. The num-
ber of lengths that you will need depends on the size of
your pool.
Figure 3
The overall length of hose needed will be the distance
from:
(a) the point at which you will attach the hose to the suc-
tion connection, to (b) the furthest point in the pool from
(a), plus one hose length (Figure 4).

Step 2: Attach the female end of the hose to the
Cleaner (see Figure 5).
Step 3: Balancing the hose (Figure 6).
It may or may not be necessary to add weight to your
hose, depending on your pool's size, shape, and depth.
Try the cleaner first without any hose weights. If the hose
is too buoyant, add the weight as shown in Figure 6.

Step 4: Attach the regulator valve (Figure 7, 8, and 9).
Before attaching the regulator valve to anything, take a
moment to familiarize yourself with it. During cleaner
operation, the valve will act both as a regulator and as a
gauge to provide information about the suction flow
through the Cleaner.
• Push the valve's outer barrel towards the female (larg-
er) end of the valve. Notice the side openings that are
revealed, and how the base of the cylinder moves rela-
tive to the yellow band on the female end.
