    • The Zodiac Automatic Pool Cleaner connects to the skimmer or dedicated vacuum line with the hose sections provided. Water flows through the diaphragm of the cleaner at a rate of 14 to 19 gallons per minute.

  • Page 4: Pool Preparation

    • Before installing the Zodiac Automatic Pool Cleaner, examine the interior of your pool carefully. If your vinyl liner is brittle or has stones, wrinkles, roots or metal corrosion in contact with the underside of the liner, or has damage to the base material or supporting walls, do not install the pool cleaner before having a qualified professional perform the necessary repairs.

    WHEEL DEFLECTOR INSTALLATION (Only used on some pool cleaners.) Some Zodiac Pool Cleaner models require a wheel deflector for proper performance. If your model includes one, slide the wheel deflector over the extension pipe and secure between the two lowest pipe ridges. Make sure the top clips of the wheel deflector are seated in the groove.

  • Page 6: Balance

    STEP 4 - BALANCE Zodiac Automatic Pool Cleaners require a specific number of hose weights to compensate for the buoyancy of the hose depending on the cleaner model. A properly balanced pool cleaner hose will create a 45-degree angle from the cleaner head and the bottom of the pool as shown below.

    STEP 6 INSTALLATION FOR POOLS WITH SKIMMERS FLOWKEEPER VALVE In skimmer installations the Flowkeeper Valve MUST BE used. The pool pump provides more gallon per minute flow than your pool cleaner requires. The Flowkeeper provides a way to regulate the flow with a bypass so the pool pump and the pool cleaner run properly.

  • Page 8: Achieving Proper Flow

    POOL PULSE The Pool Pulse is a flow meter that measures the volume of water flowing through your Zodiac cleaner. It must be used to properly set the flow and can be used as a diagnostic tool when the cleaner isn't running properly.

    MODEL# W83251 - Snap (1) hose weight onto the first hose section, one meter from the cleaner head. MODEL# W03000, W83215, and W83216 - An additional hose weight (#W83247) may be necessary to balance the Zodiac Pool Cleaner head. If the cleaner is not balanced correctly in the deep end of the pool (as shown on page 4), turn off the pump and add an additional hose weight approximately 5 to 8 feet away from the cleaner head.
