Adjusting Flow With The Flow Gauge - Pentair REBEL Guia Del Usuario

Adjusting Flow to the Cleaner With the Flow Gauge
1. Turn the pool pump off.
2. Disconnect the Rebel™ Suction Side Cleaner from the leader hose and
connect the flow gauge.
Note: Make sure the hose remains submerged to prevent suction of air.
3. Turn the pump on.
4. Turn the regulator valve adjustment knob clockwise to increase flow or
counterclockwise to decrease flow, until the disc indicator in the flow gauge
settles between "Maximum" and "Minimum" flow. See Figure 11.
5. Turn the pool pump off and remove the flow gauge and reconnect the
cleaner.
6. Lower the cleaner in to the pool and allow it to drop to the pool floor.
7. Turn the pool pump on.
Calculating Cleaner Speed (RPM) Without the Flow Gauge
If you do not have the flow gauge originally included with your cleaner, following the steps below will allow you
to calculate the cleaner speed and adjust RPM as needed.
1. While the cleaner is running, bring the cleaner up to just beneath the pool's water surface.
Note: Be sure to keep the cleaner submerged while the pump is operating. This prevents the cleaner from
pulling air into the pool system.
2. Count the number of full rotations made by the wheel over a period of one minute. The number of rotations
will give you the revolutions per minute; or RPM's. An easy way to be sure you are counting full rotations is
by counting the number of times the wheel hump passes by the swivel assembly.
3. For proper performance, the Rebel cleaner operates between 11-13 RPM.
If the RPM is below 11 adjust the regulator valve (rotate adjustment knob clockwise) and repeat steps 1-2
until the RPM falls back into the optimal range.
If the RPM is higher than 13 adjust the regulator valve (rotate adjustment knob counterclockwise) and repeat
steps 1-2 until the RPM falls back into the optimal range.
