Setup

Proper setup is crucial for the optimal performance of your Intex 28001E Automatic Pool Cleaner. Follow these steps to ensure correct installation:

1. Pump Compatibility: Ensure your pool filter pump has a flow rate between 1,600 and 3,500 GPH (gallons per hour). This cleaner is not compatible with pumps outside this range or with in-ground pools.
2. Hose Connection: Connect the provided 24-foot 7-inch hose to the cleaner. The hose is designed to connect to Intex inlet connectors with 1.5-inch or 38mm hose fittings.
3. Pool Inlet: Attach the other end of the hose to the pool's inlet connector (where filtered water returns to the pool).
4. Submerge Cleaner: Carefully lower the cleaner into the pool, ensuring it is fully submerged and free of air bubbles before starting the pump.

Operating Instructions

Once properly set up, the Intex 28001E Automatic Pool Cleaner operates autonomously to keep your pool floor clean:

• Automatic Cleaning: The cleaner utilizes water pressure from your filter pump to move across the pool floor. It automatically cleans and vacuums the entire pool surface.
• Directional Movement: The cleaner is designed to automatically reverse direction, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the pool floor without getting stuck in corners.
• Debris Collection: A small brush located underneath the cleaner's base sweeps the pool floor. Debris is then propelled by water pressure into an internal debris net.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your pool cleaner:

• Debris Net Cleaning: The internal debris net should be cleaned regularly to prevent clogging and maintain optimal suction. Simply remove the net, empty its contents, and rinse thoroughly with water.
• Skimmer Basket Maintenance: Clean your pool's skimmer baskets regularly. Clogged skimmer baskets can reduce the filter pump's flow rate, impacting the cleaner's performance.
• Product Care: The cleaner itself should be hand washed only. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the unit.

Troubleshooting

If your Intex 28001E Automatic Pool Cleaner is not performing as expected, consider the following common issues and solutions:

• Cleaner Not Moving or Moving Slowly: This is often due to insufficient water flow. Check that your filter pump is operating within the required 1,600-3,500 GPH range. Ensure the debris net and pool skimmer baskets are clean and free of obstructions.
• Hose Twisting: While the cleaner is designed to reverse direction, the hose may occasionally twist. Manually untwist the hose if it becomes excessively tangled to ensure free movement of the cleaner.
• Debris Not Being Picked Up: Verify that the debris net is correctly installed and not full. Also, check for any blockages in the cleaner's intake or the hose itself.
