That's why we provide a way to regulate the flow. The FlowKeeper Valve is setting. self adjusting and provides a by-pass, so that the pool pump and the Zodiac 1500 run properly. The FlowKeeper Valve MUST BE used. Skimming action is maintained through a bypass throat in the valve. As the filter collects debris, the valve automatically maintains the correct flow to the cleaner.
INSTALLATION Note: Be sure you have turned off the main drain, if your pool has one. Step 1: Select the fitting combination best suited to your skimmer from methods A or B. Do not connect the fittings yet. CAUTION: The FlowKeeper Valve MUST be used on all installations. Ensure the arrow on the valve is pointing downward, toward the skimmer suction port.
