GENERAL INSTALLATION CHECKS

Pre-Installation Check List

Before installing your SPLASHER, review and understand all warnings and safety information in this
manual. Failure to follow these instructions or improper installation of the cleaner can result in damage
to the pool finish or the vinyl liner, Fluidra Waterlinx Pool and Spa disclaims any liability for repairs or
replacement to any of these structures or components of the customer's pool.
Before installing the cleaner in a vinyl liner pool: Check liner closely for signs of deterioration or
damage from age, chemicals, pool wall damage, etc. If any damage is found, have a qualified pool
professional make all the necessary repairs. Also, if there are stones, roots, etc, under the liner, remove
them before installing the cleaner. Certain vinyl liner patterns are particularly susceptible to surface
wear, pattern removal, ink rubbing off of, or serious scratches to the pattern caused by objects coming
into contact with the vinyl surface, including automatic pool cleaners. Fluidra Waterlinx Pool & Spa is not
responsible for any pattern removal, abrasions or markings on vinyl liners.
Before installing the cleaner in a gunite pool or a pool that is partially or completely tiled: Before
installing the pool cleaner in a gunite (concrete) pool or pool that is partially or completely tiled, check
closely for loose tiles and loose light fittings. Do not install the pool cleaner before having a qualified
professional perform the necessary repairs.
Before installing the cleaner, clean your filter system: Make sure you have cleaned the filter,
including backwashing, rinsing, and emptying all baskets. A clean system is necessary for proper cleaner
operation and coverage.
Before installing the cleaner, understand cleaner coverage: The cleaner is designed to rid your pool
of debris in approximately 4-6 hours. Less time could be needed, depending on the pool size. The cleaner
was not designed to automatically clean steps or swim-outs or to work under a solar cover.
