Optional Vacuum Line Installation
Vacuum Line Installation with Regulator Valve in Skimmer.
We highly recommend the use of the regulator valve to
balance water flow between the S5™ Suction Side Pool
Cleaner and the skimmer. Install the regulator valve in
the skimmer when attaching the cleaner to a dedicated
vacuum line.
1. Turn the pool pump off.
2. Close the main drain and all suction lines, except the
lines from the skimmer and the suction line to which the
cleaner will be connected.
3. Thread the snap-lock wall fitting into the end of the
dedicated suction line (optional - if not yet installed)
Note: Use two wraps of thread seal tape around the
threads to ensure easy removal.
4. Place the cleaner (with the hose attached) into the pool.
Turn it side to side and front to back to release any trapped
air, allowing the cleaner to sink to the floor of the pool.
Continue to feed the hose vertically down into the pool
until it is completely filled with water and purged of air.
Note: If air is pulled into the pool plumbing it may cause
your pump to lose prime.
5. Insert the male hose end of the last hose section directly
into the snap-lock wall fitting. See Figure 8.
6. Insert the cone adapter into the vacuum connection in
the bottom of the skimmer.
7. To prevent water from flowing through the top of the
regulator valve, fasten the valve cap onto the top of the
valve (See Figure 9). This activates the regulator valve and
assures that an accurate amount of water (6m³/h) will
flow through the vacuum line and the cleaner. Without
the valve cap, the regulator valve and the cleaner will not
function properly. See Figure 10.
8. Press the regulator valve into the compression adapter.
After completing the installation, turn the pool pump on.
Allow the pump to run for a couple of minutes to be sure
all air cycles out of the system.
