1. Introduction
This manual provides instructions for the safe and effective use of your Aquatix Pro 14-inch Professional Grade Pool Vacuum Head. Please read this manual thoroughly before initial use and retain it for future reference.
The Aquatix Pro Pool Vacuum Head is designed for efficient cleaning of various pool types, including in-ground and above-ground pools. Its weighted design and flexible body ensure thorough cleaning of pool surfaces.
2. Safety Information
- Always ensure the pool pump is turned off before connecting or disconnecting the vacuum head or hose.
- Do not operate the vacuum head if any parts are damaged or missing.
- Keep children and pets away from the pool area during cleaning operations.
- Use appropriate safety gear, such as non-slip footwear, when working around the pool.
- Store the vacuum head in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
3. Setup
Follow these steps to assemble and prepare your Aquatix Pro Pool Vacuum Head for use:
- Attach the Handle: Connect the aluminum handle to the vacuum head. Ensure it is securely fastened using the EZ clips. The handle features a 360-degree rotation for ease of maneuverability.
- Connect the Hose: Attach your standard pool vacuum hose to the central port of the vacuum head. The product includes 2 adapters to fit 1-1/4", 1-1/2", and 2" hose pipes. Select the appropriate adapter for your hose and ensure a snug fit.
- Submerge the Vacuum Head: Slowly lower the vacuum head into the pool, allowing it to fill with water. This helps to remove air from the hose and prevent airlocks in your pump system.
- Connect to Skimmer/Vacuum Port: Once the hose is filled with water and the vacuum head is fully submerged, connect the other end of the hose to your pool's skimmer or dedicated vacuum port.

4. Operating Instructions
To effectively clean your pool with the Aquatix Pro Pool Vacuum Head:
- Start the Pump: Turn on your pool pump to initiate suction through the vacuum head.
- Begin Vacuuming: Slowly move the vacuum head across the bottom of the pool in overlapping strokes. The weighted plates help keep the head on the pool floor, and the flexible body allows for easy navigation around corners and curves.
- Clean Walls and Steps: For optimal cleaning, use the bottom brushes to scrub stubborn dirt from pool walls and steps.
- Monitor Suction: Ensure consistent suction. If suction decreases, check for clogs in the hose or skimmer basket.
- Finish Cleaning: Once the pool floor is clean, turn off the pump before removing the vacuum head and hose from the pool.

- Inspect Brushes and Wheels: Regularly check the bottom brushes and wheels for wear or damage. Replace if necessary to maintain effective cleaning and prevent damage to your pool liner.
- Store Properly: Store the vacuum head in a clean, dry, and shaded area when not in use to protect it from UV damage and extreme temperatures.

6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Poor Suction | Air in the hose, clogged skimmer basket, clogged pump basket, low water level. | Ensure hose is fully submerged and free of air. Empty skimmer and pump baskets. Adjust water level if too low. |
| Vacuum Head Lifts Off Floor | Excessive suction, improper hose connection, insufficient weight. | Reduce pump speed if adjustable. Check hose for secure connection. The Aquatix Pro head is weighted to prevent this, but ensure it's fully submerged. |
| Difficulty Maneuvering | Worn wheels, debris caught in wheels, pole not securely attached. | Inspect wheels for damage or debris and clean them. Ensure the telescopic pole is firmly attached to the handle. |
