POOLHACKER Pool Pipe Holder Instruction Manual

Product Overview

The POOLHACKER Pool Pipe Holder is designed to provide essential support for the water hoses of above-ground swimming pools. It helps to prevent sagging of the hoses and reduces strain on the pool's inlet and outlet connections, thereby protecting the pool wall from potential damage caused by hose tension.

Setup and Installation

The POOLHACKER Pool Pipe Holder is designed for easy installation on above-ground swimming pools to support 1 1/4 inch hoses.

Installation Steps:

1. Identify Connection Points: Locate the 1 1/4 inch inlet and outlet connections on your above-ground pool wall where hoses are attached.
2. Prepare the Surface: Ensure the area around the pool's inlet/outlet is clean and dry for optimal adhesion.
3. Attach the Pipe Holder: Remove the protective backing from the adhesive on the back of the pipe holder. Align the holder with the pool's inlet/outlet pipe, ensuring the support bracket is positioned underneath to cradle the hose. Press firmly to secure it to the pool wall.

4. Connect the Hose: Insert the 1 1/4 inch pool hose into the pipe holder. The holder is designed to directly connect to the hose, providing immediate support.

5. Integrate with Adapters (if applicable): If your setup includes a plunger valve or adapter B, connect these components to the pipe holder as shown in the diagram. The pipe holder is compatible with standard pool accessories.

Operating Instructions

Once installed, the POOLHACKER Pool Pipe Holder operates passively by providing structural support to your pool's hoses. No active operation is required from the user.

• The holder maintains the hose's position, preventing it from sagging due to water weight or external forces.
• This support reduces the mechanical stress on the pool wall connections, which can help prevent leaks and prolong the life of your pool liner.

Maintenance

The POOLHACKER Pool Pipe Holder requires minimal maintenance.

• Regular Inspection: Periodically check the pipe holder and its adhesive attachment to the pool wall to ensure it remains securely in place.
• Cleaning: Clean the holder with mild soap and water as needed to remove any dirt or pool chemical residue. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Hose Condition: While the holder supports the hose, regularly inspect the hose itself for any signs of wear, cracks, or leaks.

Troubleshooting

• Hose Still Sagging:
  • Ensure the pipe holder is correctly positioned directly under the hose connection point.
  • Verify the adhesive is firmly attached to a clean, dry surface. If the adhesive has failed, clean the area thoroughly and reattach, or consider using additional waterproof adhesive if necessary.
  • Check if the hose size is compatible (1 1/4 inch).
• Pipe Holder Detaching:
  • The adhesive may not have been applied to a sufficiently clean or dry surface. Remove, clean both surfaces, and reapply.
  • Excessive tension or movement of the hose might be pulling the holder. Ensure hoses are not under undue stress.
• Reduced Water Flow (as reported by some users):
  • While the pipe holder itself should not restrict flow, ensure that the hose is not kinked or bent sharply at the connection point or within the holder.
  • Verify that any adapters (like Adapter B or plunger valves) are correctly installed and not obstructing the flow.
  • Check your pool filter and pump for blockages or maintenance needs, as these are common causes of reduced flow.
