Pool Vac Ultra

INSTALLATION MANUAL

Congratulations on your purchase of the Pool Vac Ultra automatic pool cleaning system from

Hayward. The Pool Vac Ultra is the smart, efficient way to clean your in-ground pool. The Pool Vac

Ultra is powered by your pool's filter system and is designed to work well with most systems.

Therefore the performance of the Pool Vac Ultra in your pool will be relative to that power source.

Because the operation and performance of the Pool Vac Ultra are system reliant, there is a remote

possibility that a “service call” may be necessary to complete the proper installation of your Pool Vac

Ultra. Because this is an installation related call, it will be at the consumer's expense. Also, one or

more of the accessories designed for the Pool Vac Ultra, including additional hose sections (if

needed) might be applicable to your installation. Consult your Hayward Pool Vac Ultra dealer for price

and availability. or Technical Assistance, call Hayward at 1-800-227-1477 (USA only).

Note

The Pool Vac Ultra should not be used to clean the pool for spring start-up unless the conditions noted

in Step 1 are met. On those occasions, where your pool is subjected to an abnormal debris load,

maintenance steps should be taken to return the pool to “pre-installation” condition.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

The Hayward Skimmer Vac Plate is a great

accessory for achieving a pool cleaning balance that

automatically alternates between skimming the pool’s

surface and vacuuming with each cycle of the filtration

system’s time clock.

Benefits include:

•inger-tip dial control for superior skimmer action and

proper vacuum settings.

•Back-mounted vacuum gauge conveniently located for

simple and accurate vacuum measurements.

•Adjustable standpipe for various skimmer models.

•actory-set pressure relief valve for added safety.

Ruggedly built, the Hayward Leaf

Canister easily connects between

two cleaner hose lengths, trapping

leaves and debris before reaching your

pool’s filter system. Its see-through

design lets you know when to empty.

Benefits include:

•Extra-large basket traps leaves and

debris before they reach the filter

system.

•Superior design ensures that water

will always bypass debris and maintain proper water flow to your pump.

•Easy-open lid provides quick access to the basket.

•Lexan see-through construction lets you see when the basket needs cleaning.

Installation

INSTALLING YOUR POOL VAC ULTRA IS SIMPLE...

To prepare your pool for Pool Vac Ultra installation, please follow the easy steps listed below. These instructions

are also shown in the “Pool Vac Ultra Installation Video”. After reading these instructions, the “How To” installation

video will walk you through the installation step-by-step, and it will also give you some maintenance and trouble-

shooting hints. These instructions apply to all Pool Vac Ultra models.

Step 1

Check the pool and remove any large objects that might interfere with the cleaner's operation. Check to see that

the water level is at the recommended level. Check the water chemistry. Make sure that the water is properly

balanced and that the pool is free from algae. Algae can adversely affect the operation of the Pool Vac Ultra,

and its performance.

Step 2

Clean or backwash the filter, and clean the hair and lint pot prior to installing the Pool Vac Ultra. ollowing the

installation of Pool Vac Ultra, clean the system at regular intervals according to individual pool conditions.

Step 3

There are nine (9) connector hoses and one (1) leader hose with a hose cuff. The hose cuff has a red sticker

attached to it that reads “REMOVE LABEL A D CO ECT TO CLEA ER”.

Connect the special Pool Vac Ultra hose sections together by pushing and twisting the tapered male connector

end of each hose firmly into the open female end of the adjacent hose section

(see Figure 1)

. Depending on the

size and shape of your pool, all hose sections might not be used. However, the leader hose must be used or the

Pool Vac Ultra will not operate properly. It is not necessary to “Bottom Out” the connections, but they must be

tight enough to prevent any air leaks. Wetting the hose ends will make it easier to connect-the hose sections.

INSTALLING YOUR POOL VAC ULTRA IS SIMPLE...

Step 4

The hose should reach from the skimmer or dedicated vacuum line to the furthest point in the pool, plus two (2)

extra hose sections. (The length of each hose section is four feet.) This extra length is absolutely necessary

for proper operation of the Pool Vac Ultra. If the hose is not long enough, it will be necessary to purchase

additional hose sections from your Hayward Pool Vac Ultra dealer. The hose length supplied (40 feet) has been

determined to be sufficient for the majority of pools nationally. If your hose requirement is more than this, you

must obtain additional hose sections for your cleaner to work properly. After the correct hose length has been

assembled, fill hose completely with water. Insert low Gauge into the leader hose, then attach the C-Clip of the

gauge onto the first hose section. Make sure the low Gauge is under water. (see igure 2)

Step 5

Turn the filter system on and allow it to run long enough to

eliminate any air in the system. Connect the V093C

Skimmer Cone to the tapered male end of the vacuum

hose if you are connecting the hose to your skimmer. Then,

insert the cone into the suction port of the skimmer

(see

Figure 3)

or, if you are using a Hayward Vac Lock, insert

the hose end directly into the Vac Lock without using

the cone. (Refer to Important Tips for more specific

skimmer information.)

Step 6

Check the water flow reading on the low Gauge. (Refer to Step 4, igure 2). The black disk should be in the box

between the “MIN” and “MAX” markings. If the setting is higher than required with the black disk outside of the

box on the “MAX” side and you have connected your hose to the skimmer, it will be necessary to reduce the

vacuum/water flow by using a valve or valves in the filter system, or the Hayward V094 Regulator Valve or an

optional Hayward Automatic Skimmer Vacuum Plate designed to adjust vacuum/water flow. To install the V094

Regulator Valve, turn the filter system off. Remove the hose from the V093C Skimmer Cone, and after closing the

Regulator Valve (Rotate the blue collar clockwise/toward + until closed/tight), insert the Regulator Valve into the

Skimmer Cone, and insert the hose end into the Regulator Valve (see igure 4).

Turn the filter system on and allow it to run long enough to eliminate any air in the system. Turn the blue collar

counter clockwise until the proper reading appears on the gauge.

If a Hayward Skimmer Vacuum Plate is to be used, follow the installation instructions included with the Skimmer

Vacuum Plate.

INSTALLING YOUR POOL VAC ULTRA IS SIMPLE...

Note

The V094 Regulator Valve and the Hayward Skimmer Vacuum Plate can only be used to LOWER an initial vacuum

reading that is TOO HIGH. The Regulator Valve and the Skimmer Vacuum Plate cannot be used to I CREASE

the initial vacuum reading. An initial reading that is too low to meet the water flow setting necessary to operate

the cleaner is indicative of a system problem, and not a problem with the cleaner.

Contact your Hayward Pool Vac Ultra Dealer for assistance.

If you have connected your hose to a dedicated vacuum line it will be necessary to adjust the vacuum/ water flow

using the 3-way valve at the filter system. The handle on the valve should be turned so that the low Gauge

which is installed in the Pool Vac Ultra hose reads properly (refer to igure 2).

Step 7

Remove the low Gauge from the hose and keep it handy. You will want to use the low Gauge to check

the Pool Vac Ultra's operation from time to time.

Step 8

Check the rear flap adjuster dial at the left rear of the Pool Vac Ultra. It should be set at position number II which

is the middle position (see Figure 5). Submerge the Pool Vac Ultra into the water and remove all of the entrapped

air. When escaping air bubbles cease, you are ready to connect the hose.

Connect the hose cuff of the leader hose to the Pool Vac Ultra and submerge the hose to remove all air as when

vacuuming the pool with a standard hand-vacuum (see Figure 6).

Do not use the return line/inlet water to “sink” the Pool Vac Ultra hose, as this will force air into the

cleaner head, and possibly cause performance problems.

Installation

INSTALLING YOUR POOL VAC ULTRA IS SIMPLE...

Step 9

Observe the Pool Vac Ultra in operation, and make sure that the return line flow is not affecting the Pool Vac Ultra's

AquaPilot®programmed steering and preventing the Pool Vac Ultra from cleaning the entire pool. If the Pool Vac

Ultra hose is being pushed across the surface of the pool, it will be necessary to redirect the return line water flow

downward. This is to allow the Pool Vac Ultra to move in its programmed cleaning pattern.

Step 10

Observing the Pool Vac Ultra in operation, it should move about the pool without spending an excessive

amount of time against the steps or other obstructions (vertical walls, ladders, etc). If the Pool Vac Ultra

seems to get “hung up”, turn the rear flap adjuster to position I (see Figure 5).

Step 11

The Pool Vac Ultra will climb the vertical walls in swimming pools if there is at least a twelve inch (12") radius

where the walls and floor meet. Pool Vac Ultra's wall climbing is governed by the programmed steering, and

therefore it will not climb the wall each time it comes in contact with a wall. When the Pool Vac Ultra does start up

a wall, it will not always go all the way up the wall. If the Pool Vac Ultra does not seem to be “sticking” to the wall,

turn the rear flap adjuster to position III (see Figure 5).

If the Pool Vac Ultra climbs to the water's surface and sucks air, turn the rear flap adjuster to Position I

(see Figure 5). If the cleaner continues to climb too high, reduce the water flow until proper operation is

achieved.

Approximately eighty percent (80%) of the dirt in a concrete pool will be on the floor of the pool.

Approximately twenty percent (20%) of the dirt will be on the walls. Your Pool Vac Ultra will spend its

cleaning time accordingly.

Figure 5

Figure 6

Pool Vac Ultra

IMPORTANT TIPS

In one piece fiberglass pools there is very little dirt on the walls, but the Pool Vac Ultra will still climb the walls.

Due to the shape (severe angles) of most in-ground vinyl liner pools, the Pool Vac Ultra 's cleaning is mostly

confined to the bottom (both shallow and deep) and the hopper sides. However, normal dirt and debris do not

adhere to these walls.

DO OT COIL HOSE

When storing your cleaner the hose sections must be stored straight, not coiled. A coiled hose will create a

memory in the hose that will impede the Pool Vac Ultra's ability to move properly in your pool. Coiled

hoses are not covered under the Hayward warranty. When removing the Pool Vac Ultra from your

pool, be sure to grasp the cleaner by its handle, not by its hose, otherwise your Pool Vac Ultra might be

damaged should the hose disconnect from the cleaner.

1. Skimmers come in many configurations and cannot all be described here. Three basic types are discussed

however.

Some skimmers have two (2) holes in the bottom. There might be a valve, float or cover over the holes. Remove

everything in the skimmer, exposing the holes. The rear hole is usually the suction port. In some cases it will be

necessary to use the V094 Regulator Valve to control water flow through the Pool Vac

Ultra (see Figure 4).

Some skimmers have only one hole in the bottom. This suction port is usually controlled by a valve at the filter

system and most likely will not need a V094 Regulator Valve (see Figure 3).

Pool Vac Ultra

IMPORTANT TIPS

Some skimmers have a vari-flow or diverter valve in the bottom of the skimmer. This valve can be turned to

regulate skimming and main drain suction. Turn the valve to full skim and then adjust the low Gauge

vacuum

gauge by turning the valve toward main drain suction. Usually this valve is the same size as the Pool

Vac Ultra hose

end, and it will therefore be necessary to purchase a V098 Hose Adapter (see Figure 7).

After the proper gauge reading has been established, the diverter valve will have to be locked in place with

a wedge of some kind so that it won't change position with operation of the Pool Vac Ultra.

2. Periodically check the water flow/vacuum to be sure that the Pool Vac Ultra is operating as efficiently as

possible. Remember, too much vacuum is just as bad as too little.

3. Periodically check to make sure that the Pool Vac Ultra hose is securely attached to its suction source (i.e.

Skimmer, Skimmer Vac Plate, Vac Lock, etc.)

4. Disconnect the Pool Vac Ultra hose from the skimmer/regulator valve, or, if using a “dedicated line”, turn

cleaner valve off prior to “backwashing”, so as not to restrict water flow.

5. Never coil the Pool Vac Ultra hose. Coiled hose is not covered under the warranty.

6. When the Pool Vac Ultra is out of the pool, always disconnect the leader hose from the Navigator head.

7. Always carry Pool Vac Ultra by the molded-in handle. Do not carry it by the hose.

8. When swimming in the pool, remove Pool Vac Ultra from the water.

9. If you are going to super chlorinate, shock, or add gas chlorine to your pool, make sure the cleaner and its

hose are removed prior to doing so.
