• No Additional Tools or Electricity Required: Attaches to existing filtration systems.
• Complete Set: Includes 30 feet of vacuum hose, suitable for pools up to 16' x 32'.

Specifications

Assembly

Follow these steps to assemble your XtremepowerUS Automatic Pool Cleaner:

Step 1

Attach the Roller Bumper Strap (Part #1) to the Cleaner Assembly (Part #2).

Step 2

Attach the Pleated Seal (Part #7) to the Cleaner Assembly (Part #2).

Step 3

Attach the Dive Float Restrictor (Part #2) to the Cleaner Assembly (Part #2), ensuring the 'UP' orientation is maintained.

Step 4: Hose Weight Placement

Attach the Hose Weights (Part #14) to the hose. The placement depends on the pool depth:

• 1st Weight: 3 ft from the swivel head.
• 2nd Weight: 6 ft from the swivel head.
• 3rd Weight: 9 ft from the swivel head.
• For pools 4 ft or less: Use the 1st and 2nd weights.
• For pools 4-7 ft: Use the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd weights.
• For pools 7-12 ft: Use the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd weights.
• For pools 12 ft or more: Use the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd weights, plus an additional weight (not included) placed 12 ft from the swivel head.

Step 5: Connecting Hose Sections

Connect the Female to Male Hose sections (Part #17) together. Ensure the male and female cuffs are properly aligned and the 'UP' orientation is maintained for each connection.

Step 6: Submerging the Cleaner

Fill the assembled hose with pool water to expel any trapped air. Submerge the entire cleaner and hose assembly into the pool.

Step 7: Attaching Regulator Valve and Hose Cone

Connect the last Female to Male Hose section (Part #17) to the Female Cuff of the Female to Female Hose (Part #16). Then, connect the Male Cuff end of Part #16 to the Regulator Valve (Part #15). Connect the Regulator Valve (Part #15) to the Hose Cone (Part #13) using the Female Cuff end of Part #15 and the Male Cuff end of Part #13.

The Regulator Valve (Part #15) allows adjustment of suction. Settings range from 1 (Low Suction) to 6 (High Suction).

Step 8: Connecting to Pool Skimmer

For Skimmer Connection: Connect the Male Cuff end of the Skimmer Adapter Hose (Part #6) to the suction port of the pool skimmer. Ensure the skimmer basket and weir are in place and the lid is closed.

Step 9: Connecting to Dedicated Suction Line

For Dedicated Pool Vacuum / Suction Line Connection: Connect the hose assembly directly to the pool's dedicated vacuum or suction line.

Operation and Adjustment

After installation, turn on the pool pump. Allow it to run for a few minutes to remove all air from the system. The cleaner should move at approximately 8 to 12 feet per minute.

Hose Length Adjustment

With the cleaner running, move it to the furthest point in the pool using a pole. The hose should reach the furthest end plus one extra hose section. Remove extra sections from the center of the hose to avoid disturbing hose weights. Save removed sections for future use. Note: Turn off the pump when adding or removing hose sections.

Hose Balance Adjustment

Turn off the pump and observe the cleaner. The hose balance is correct when the cleaner's seal is flat on the pool floor, and the diver tubes are at a 45° angle.

• Hose too light: If the hose rises above 45°, move the weights closer to the cleaner or closer to each other.
• Hose too heavy: If the hose sags below 45°, move the weights away from the cleaner or further apart.

Return Line Water Flow (Optional)

CAUTION: The return line water flow can affect the cleaner's performance. Use the included eyeball diverter to adjust the flow.

• To Install the Eyeball Diverter (Parts #12): Turn off the pump. Remove the original eyeball from the return line by unscrewing the lock ring. Install the cleaner's eyeball diverter and tighten the lock ring, ensuring the opening points in the desired direction.
• Eyeball Diverter Positions: Position the diverter to redirect water flow away from the cleaner, such as along the pool's side (tile line), downward, or against the hose to steer the cleaner away from obstacles.

Troubleshooting

Individual pool characteristics may require additional adjustments for optimal cleaner performance.

General Checks:

• Close the bottom main drain.
• Ensure the filter is clean.
• Clean the pump strainer basket if necessary.
• Remove any debris blocking the cleaner.
• Replace any leaky hose sections.
• Ensure the automatic regulator valve is free of debris.

Cleaner Not Moving or Pulsating

• Ensure all suction lines are closed except for the cleaner's suction line.
• Check for debris in the filter and pump basket.
• Inspect the cleaner's flapper for debris that may prevent movement.
• Ensure the pool pump and filter system provide at least 20 gallons per minute of water flow. Consult a professional if needed.

Cleaner Stays in One End of the Pool

• Adjust the return line water flow using an eyeball diverter.
• Ensure the hose is long enough to reach the furthest end of the pool.
• Check that the hose balance is correct.

Cleaner Stays on the Main Drain

• Ensure the main drain is closed. Consult a professional if needed.
• Ensure the main drain grate is installed and flush with the pool floor.

Cleaner Slows Down and Air Bubbles Enter the Pool

• Identify and correct any air leaks causing the pump to lose its prime.
• Check the hose for leaks.
• Ensure the vacuum connection is submerged.
• Inspect the pump basket lid for tightness, cracks, or worn/missing O-rings. Consult a professional if needed.

Cleaner Pulls Air or Remains at the Water's Surface

• Ensure the dive float mechanism operates freely and the dive float restrictor is installed.
• Verify the automatic regulator valve is correctly installed and not clogged.
• Maintain the water level at least 2 inches below the pool deck.
• Ensure the cleaner operates at the proper speed (8-12 feet per minute).

Cleaner Stays at the Shallow End of the Steps

• Adjust the return line water flow using an eyeball diverter.
• Verify the automatic regulator valve installation and cleanliness.
• Ensure the hose is long enough to reach the furthest end, including the steps.
• Check the hose balance in the shallow end.
• Ensure the dive float mechanism operates freely.
• Shorten the roller bumper strap by 1/4 inch if necessary.

Cleaner Tracks in a Repetitive Pattern

• Ensure the swivel on top of the cleaner turns freely.
• Adjust the return line water flow using an eyeball diverter.
• Check for bent or kinked hose sections. Lay the hose flat on a surface to inspect.

Cleaner Hose Gets Tangled

• Cause: Hose wound too tightly, swivel points not swiveling, too much hose, weights improperly balanced.
• Resolution: Lay the hose out in the sun, swap hose sections, remove excess hose, adjust weights.

Cleaner Moving Slowly

• Cause: Insufficient pressure or suction.
• Resolution: Clean pump basket and filter, ensure proper suction, check for blockages or cracks, adjust regulator valve.

Cleaner Not Reaching All Areas of the Pool

• Cause: Stuck in deep end, return line water flow, not climbing stairs, hose too long/short, not reaching shallow end.
• Resolution: Address pressure or suction issues, use eyeball diverter, adjust hose length, check depth and angle.

Removing Debris from the Flapper

• Turn the cleaner upside down and jiggle the flapper or flush with a hose to remove debris.
• If debris persists: Remove the four lids in the foot pad, unscrew, and remove the foot pad. Remove the screw from the baffle plate, pull out the plate, and then remove the flapper. Clear the debris and reassemble the cleaner.

Maintenance

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the flapper to ensure it moves freely and is not obstructed by debris.
• Replace the foot pad if it is excessively worn.
• Store the hose flat and out of direct sunlight; do not coil the hose.
• Swap hose sections every 3 months to prevent sticking and ensure proper movement.
