Congratulations on your purchase of Robo H2O , the world’s first hydro powered robotic pool cleaner. Robo H2O imitates the function of electric robotic cleaners, but it is powered by water and not electricity. Robo H2O’s patent pending Articulating Swivel helps balance the cleaner. This allows it to operate in different sized pools as well as climb walls and scrub pool floors/walls. Robo H2O is the first hydraulic pool...
The entire filter system must be cleaned prior to installation. Clean the filter and empty/rinse all bas- kets as the cleaner will not operate properly with a dirty or clogged filter system. Carefully follow the steps for preparing your pool before installing the cleaner. PREPARING YOUR POOL Before installing your Robo H2O Pool Cleaner, you need to prepare your pool as Robo H2O will not oper- ate unless the filter system is clean and ready for use. Backwash or manually clean filter prior to installing Robo H20. TIPS FOR USAGE • Your pool needs to be in good condition to use this cleaner.

INSTALLING YOUR ROBO H2O POOL CLEANER STEP 2: CONNECT HOSES HOSE CONNECTION WHEN CONNECTING CLEANER TO SKIMMER 1. Connect sufficient lengths of hose by inserting the male hose end into the female end (see Figure 2) until you have sufficient lengths of hose to cover the distance from the pool skimmer to the furthest point of your pool. 2. Then add one extra length so that you have enough hose to reach the furthest point of your pool plus one extra hose length.
INSTALLING YOUR ROBO H2O POOL CLEANER STEP 3: INSTALLATION REMOVE AIR FROM HOSE 1. Make sure pool pump is turned OFF. 2. Attach female end of the hose to the pool cleaner head and remove all air from the cleaner and hose.

Add Hose Float and position it as close to the Articu- lating Swivel as possible (see Figure 6). Turn the pool pump ON and your Robo H20 Pool Cleaner will now begin automatically vacuuming your pool.

OPTIMIZING SPEED AND COVERAGE Your Robo H2O Pool Cleaner should start moving as soon as it is connected and all air has been re- moved from the hose and cleaner. If it has not started moving after about 30 seconds or is moving very slowly, switch off the pump and adjust the Flow Control Valve as shown in Figure 5 towards the plus side or adjust valves at pool pad.
TO REMOVE THE HOSE FROM THE CLEANER It is important to hold the Articulating Swivel steady while gently pulling on the hose cuff to remove it from Robo H2O (see Figure 8). Not holding the Articulating Swivel could Figure 8 cause the Articulating Swivel to come apart.

(with pool pump off) simply push both Sliders out away from the center of the cleaner toward the closed position. Closed allows for maximum suction while open reduces suction (See Figure 12). All Robo H2O Cleaners will come factory pre-set with the Sliders at the halfway point between open and closed.
