Installation INSTALLING YOUR POOL VAC ULTRA IS SIMPLE... To prepare your pool for Pool Vac Ultra installation, please follow the easy steps listed below. These instructions are also shown in the "Pool Vac Ultra Installation Video". After reading these instructions, the "How To" installation video will walk you through the installation step-by-step, and it will also give you some maintenance and troubleshooting hints. These instructions apply to all Pool Vac Ultra models. Step 1 Check the pool and remove any large objects that might interfere with the cleaner's operation. Check to see that the water level is at the recommended level. Check the water chemistry. Make sure that the water is properly balanced and that the pool is free from algae. Algae can adversely affect the operation of the Pool Vac Ultra, and its performance. Step 2 Clean or backwash the filter, and clean the hair and lint pot prior to installing the Pool Vac Ultra. Following the installation of Pool Vac Ultra, clean the system at regular intervals according to individual pool conditions. Step 3 There are nine (9) connector hoses and one (1) leader hose with a hose cuff. The hose cuff has a red sticker attached to it that reads "REMOVE LABEL AND CONNECT TO CLEANER". Connect the special Pool Vac Ultra hose sections together by pushing and twisting the tapered male connector end of each hose firmly into the open female end of the adjacent hose section (see Figure 1). Depending on the size and shape of your pool, all hose sections might not be used. However, the leader hose must be used or the Pool Vac Ultra will not operate properly. It is not necessary to "Bottom Out" the connections, but they must be tight enough to prevent any air leaks. Wetting the hose ends will make it easier to connect-the hose sections.
