3. Setup and Installation

The MOUDOAUER Flow Regulator Valve is designed for easy, tool-free installation. Follow these steps to attach it to your pool cleaner:

1. Connect to Cleaner: Connect the valve's interface to the cleaning machine's inlet. Gently press to secure.
2. Attach Hose: Align the pool hose interface with the other end of the valve. Rotate to fix it in place after ensuring the buckle is aligned.

Figure 4: Step-by-step installation guide. This image shows three sequential pictures demonstrating how to connect the valve to the pool cleaner and then attach the hose, with arrows indicating the direction of connection and rotation.

Note: To ensure optimal performance and safety, professional installation is recommended. Users may also refer to online installation tutorials for self-installation.

4. Operating Principles

The Flow Regulator Valve does not adjust the speed of the cleaner. Instead, it functions by bypassing excess water when the flow through the system exceeds the recommended limit for your pool cleaner. This ensures that the cleaner operates at its optimal flow rate, preventing damage from over-pressurization.

• Normal Flow: When the water flow is correct for the cleaner, only the yellow indicator area will be visible in the bypass window.
• Excessive Flow: If the water flow exceeds the upper limit, a red line will become visible at the bottom of the yellow bypass indicator, signaling that excess water is being bypassed.

Figure 5: Illustration of the valve's working principle. This image displays two states: 'Normal Flow' where only the yellow indicator is visible, and 'Excessive Flow' where a red line appears, indicating water bypass.

5. Maintenance

To ensure the continued optimal performance and longevity of your MOUDOAUER Flow Regulator Valve, periodic inspection and cleaning are recommended.

• Regular Inspection: Periodically check the valve for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage.
• Clean Debris: Ensure that no debris or foreign objects are obstructing the flow path or the bypass mechanism. Clean gently with water if necessary.
• Storage: If storing the pool cleaner for an extended period, remove the valve, clean it, and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

6. Troubleshooting

If you experience any issues with the MOUDOAUER Flow Regulator Valve or your pool cleaner's performance after installation, consider the following:

• Review Installation: Double-check that the valve is correctly installed and securely attached to both the cleaner and the hose, as described in Section 3.
• Check for Obstructions: Ensure there are no blockages within the valve or the cleaner's intake that might impede water flow.
• Verify Flow: Observe the bypass indicator (Figure 5) to confirm if the valve is regulating flow as expected.

If problems persist, please contact MOUDOAUER customer support for further assistance.
