4. Setup and Installation
The VINGLI Pool Cleaner is designed for quick assembly and installation. Follow these steps for proper setup:
- Assemble the Hoses: Connect the 12 hose sections together to achieve the required length for your pool. Ensure connections are tight to prevent air leaks. The total length is 39.6 feet.
- Connect to Cleaner: Attach one end of the assembled hose to the cleaner body.
- Connect to Skimmer: Submerge the cleaner and hose in the pool to remove all air. Once fully submerged, connect the other end of the hose to your pool's skimmer suction port. You may need to use the provided compression adapter or elbow connectors depending on your skimmer type.
- Install Regulator Valve: If your pool pump's suction is too strong, install the regulator valve (adjustable suction power valve) between the hose and the skimmer port to control the flow.
- Start Pump: Turn on your pool pump. The cleaner should begin to move and clean the pool surfaces.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your VINGLI Pool Cleaner.
- Check for Clogs: Periodically inspect the cleaner's intake and hoses for any large debris that might cause a clog. Clear any obstructions immediately.
- Empty Skimmer Basket: Since the cleaner directs debris to your pool's skimmer basket, ensure the basket is emptied regularly to maintain proper water flow and suction.
- Inspect Hoses: Check hoses for cracks, holes, or wear. Replace damaged hose sections to prevent air leaks and maintain suction efficiency.
- Clean Cleaner Body: Rinse the cleaner body with fresh water after use, especially if cleaning a heavily soiled pool.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the cleaner and hoses in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
