3. Setup and Installation

1. Safety First: Before beginning any installation, ensure that your pool cleaner system is completely turned off, disconnected from power, and depressurized.
2. Remove Old Assembly: Carefully disconnect and remove the existing hose assembly from your RC25 pool cleaner. Note the orientation and connection points of the old hose to aid in the installation of the new one.
3. Connect New Hose: Attach the Rola-Chem RC523252 hose assembly to the designated inlet and outlet ports on your RC25 pool cleaner and any associated equipment. Ensure all connections are hand-tightened securely to prevent leaks.
4. Verify Connections: Double-check all connections to confirm they are firm and properly seated. Avoid overtightening, which can damage fittings.
5. System Restart: Once the new hose assembly is securely installed, slowly restore power and water pressure to your pool cleaner system. Monitor for any leaks or unusual operation.

For specific diagrams or detailed instructions related to your particular RC25 pool cleaner model, please consult its primary instruction manual.

4. Operating Instructions

The Rola-Chem RC523252 hose assembly functions as an integral component of your automatic pool cleaner. Once correctly installed, its operation is passive and directly tied to the functioning of the main pool cleaner unit.

• System Integration: The hose facilitates the necessary water flow and chemical delivery (if applicable) for the pool cleaner to operate effectively.
• Flow Maintenance: Ensure that the hose remains free of kinks, twists, or obstructions that could impede water flow or the movement of the pool cleaner.
• Regular Monitoring: Periodically observe the hose during operation to confirm it is not interfering with other pool equipment or getting tangled.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance of the hose assembly will help extend its lifespan and ensure efficient pool cleaner operation.

• Visual Inspection: Routinely inspect the entire length of the hose for any signs of wear, cracks, punctures, or discoloration. Pay close attention to connection points for any signs of leakage.
• Cleaning: If the hose accumulates debris or mineral deposits, clean it gently with a soft brush and mild soap solution. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the hose material.
• Storage: During periods of non-use, especially in off-season, store the hose assembly in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Coiling it loosely can prevent kinks.
• Replacement: If significant damage or wear is observed, replace the hose assembly promptly with an authentic Rola-Chem replacement part to maintain system integrity and performance.

6. Troubleshooting

If your pool cleaner system experiences issues that you suspect are related to the hose assembly, consider the following:

• Reduced Flow/Performance: Check the hose for any kinks, blockages, or debris inside that might be restricting water flow. Ensure all connections are tight and not leaking air.
• Leaks: Inspect all connection points and the hose itself for any visible leaks. Tighten loose connections. If the hose is punctured, it will need to be replaced.
• Hose Disconnection: If the hose repeatedly disconnects, ensure the fittings are correctly installed and tightened. Excessive pressure or improper installation can cause disconnections.
• Unusual Noise: While the hose itself is unlikely to cause noise, a restriction in flow due to a hose issue can sometimes lead to the pump or cleaner making unusual sounds. Check for blockages.

If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, contact Rola-Chem customer support or a qualified pool technician.
