PoolShark®Installation and User’s Guide

GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION

Pre-installation check list

Before installing your cleaner, review and understand all warnings and safety information in this guide.

Before installing the cleaner in a vinyl liner pool:

Check liner closely for signs of deterioration or damage from age, chemicals, pool wall damage, etc. If any

damage is found, have a qualified pool professional make all the necessary repairs. Also, if there are stones,

roots, etc., under the liner, remove them before installing the cleaner.

Before installing the cleaner in a gunite pool or a pool that is partially or completely tiled:

Repair loose tiles and tighten any loose light rings.

Before installing the cleaner, clean your filter system:

Make sure you have cleaned the filter, including backwashing, rinsing, and emptying all baskets. A clean

system is necessary for proper cleaner operation and coverage.

Before installing the cleaner, fill the hose with water:

Always make sure the cleaner head is submerged and the hose is full of water before connecting the hose to

the filtration system (whether through a skimmer or dedicated wall fitting). Air in the system can damage the

pump through dry running and overheating.

Before installing the cleaner, understand cleaner coverage:

The cleaner is designed to rid your pool of debris in approximately 4-6 hours. Less time could be needed,

depending on the pool size. The cleaner was not designed to automatically clean steps or swimouts or to

work under a solar cover. It was also not designed to do initial cleanup for a new pool or when opening your

pool for the season.

WARNING —

Suction entrapment, injury, and drowning hazard. If your pool has a dedicated suction

port (“vac port”) for vacuuming or for an automatic pool cleaner, it must be covered when

not in use. A spring loaded safety cover (a “vac port fitting”) is included with your cleaner.

Install it on the suction port to prevent entrapment and injury. If the cover provided does not fit,

purchase one that does fromyour local pool store and install it instead. The cover should

conform to IAPMO SPS4-99A.
