INSTALLATION

Booster Pump Installation

Please refer to the instructions included with your booster pump for installation information.
Please follow these instructions carefully.
Installing the Wall Fitting and Adapter
1. Remove and disconnect any existing pool cleaner and/or
wall fitting.
2. Switch on the filtration pump and booster pump, to flush
out the plumbing line.
3. Switch off filter pump and booster pump.
4. If using a wall fitting adapter produced by a
manufacturer other than Pentair, ensure that the red or
blue flow restrictor plate is removed from the from the
wall fitting adapter before continuing to next step.
The restrictor plate can be easily removed by pressing it
out with your thumbs (See Figure 1).
Note: Failure to remove the flow restrictor plate from a
non-Pentair wall fitting adapter will prevent the cleaner
from receiving enough water flow. This will lead to a slow
cleaner and longer cleaning cycles.
5. Insert wall fitting adapter into the dedicated 1-1/2" NPT
threaded return line. Hand tighten until snug. See Figure
2.
6. Align wall fitting with the quick lock pegs inside the wall
adapter. Push the wall fitting into the wall adapter until
it bottoms out. Twist 1/4 turn clockwise to lock the wall
fitting. Pull gently outward to engage quick lock pegs.
See Figure 2.
Calculating Cleaner Speed/RPM
To determine whether the BLUEFURY
1. Turn off the pool pump, and carefully remove the cleaner from the pool.
2. Mark the front tire/wheel with a marker, such as a blade of grass stuck under the tire.
3. Have someone restart the pool pump and booster pump while you place the cleaner just beneath the pool's water surface.
Note: Be sure to hold onto the sweep hose to avoid getting wet, as flow will return to the sweep hose when the pump is
restarted.
4. Count the number of full rotations made by the marked wheel over a period of one minute. The number of rotations will give
you the revolutions per minute; or RPM's.
Note: Be sure that the back-up valve isn't cycling at this time.
5. For proper performance, the BLUEFURY LITE cleaner operates between 35 - 42 RPMs.
If the RPM is below 35, call your local Pool Professional or contact Pentair's Technical Support Department.
If the RPM is higher than 42, adjust the valve at the wall fitting, as described under "Adjusting Water Flow to the Cleaner" on
page 8, until the RPMs fall back under 42 RPM.
