Test and Adjust for Proper Flow

Keeping the hose submerged, attach the Flow Gauge to the hose and turn on the pump.
Verify that the red indicator in the gauge (viewed from the side) is at the Number 3 setting.
If necessary, use the valves in the pool equipment area to adjust the flow.
For skimmer connections on pools with one skimmer, flow is automatically regulated by the
•
FlowKeeper™ Valve. The red indicator should be at the proper setting.
For skimmer connections on pools with more than one skimmer, leave the valve for the
•
skimmer connected to the hose open and slowly close the other until the proper setting is reached.
For dedicated suction line connections, leave the vacuum line open and slowly close the
•
skimmer line until the flow is at the proper setting.
If flow is in the low range (0-2):
• Check and clean the pool filter and baskets if necessary.
• Verify that valves controlling the suction lines are in the correct position.
If flow is in the high range (4-6):
• Verify that valves controlling the suction lines are in the correct position.
• Lower the flow setting on the FlowKeeper Valve.
• Open the main drain slightly to further reduce flow.

Connect the Cleaner
