Adjust Flow

1. With the main drain closed, and one end of the hose attached to the vacuum regulator installed in the skimmer, insert the flow gauge into the other end of the hose (the end with the "leader" hose attached).
2. Keep the hose and flow gauge underwater.
3. Turn on the pump. With the pump running, adjust the vacuum regulator (in your skimmer) until the indicator on the flow gauge is between minimum and maximum flow, (see Figure 11).
4. Use the vacuum regulator in conjunction with your pool cleaner system at all times. The vacuum regulator has an adjustment knob, (see Figure 12). If suction is too high, the knob is turned counterclockwise to decrease the suction. If the suction is too low, the knob is turned clockwise to increase the suction.
5. Remove the flow gauge from the end of the hose (the end with the "leader" hose attached) and attach the "leader" hose to the cleaner's swivel.

    About this product

    Description

    Connect the Hose Sections
    For best results and to maintain proper operation, use only original hoses, or direct replacements, (see Replacement Parts page).
    1. A special "leader" hose section (12 inches long) is designed to connect to the cleaner and is marked with a red label, (see Figures 3 & 4). Failure to use this leader hose section will hinder your cleaner's performance.
    2. Connect the hose sections by twisting and pushing the female ends onto the male ends after wetting the ends in the pool, (see Figure 5).
    3. Make sure the connections are snug. The number of sections that you will need depends on the size of your pool.
    4. The overall length of hose needed will be the distance from: the point at which you attach the hose to the suction connection, to the furthest point in the pool, plus one hose length, plus the leader hose, (see Figure 6)

    Highlights

    Connect the Hose to the Cleaner
    1. Connect the leader hose to the cleaner (correct end of hose is marked with a red label), (see Figure 13).
    2. Fill the cleaner with water and let it sink to the bottom, (see Figure 14).
    3. Verify hose connections as shown in Figure 15.

    Hose Length
    IMPORTANT: The pump must be on when you check the hose length. The hose contracts when the pump is
    operating and will be longer when the pump is off.
    With the SandShark operating, position it at the furthest point of the pool from where it's attached. (It is easy to position SandShark in the pool by moving it about with your pool pole and brush.) SandShark's hose should be long enough to reach the end of the pool, plus one hose section, plus the 12 in. leader hose. If necessary, remove extra hose sections from the center portion of the hose. Removing center hose sections avoids having to disturb the hose weight placement. Save extra hose sections for use as needed for replacement.
    NOTE: Turn pool pump off when adding or removing hose sections.
    Hose Balance
    It may or may not be necessary to add weight to your hose, depending on your pool's size, shape, and depth. Try the cleaner first without any hose weights. If the hose is too buoyant, add the weight as shown in Figure 26. To determine correct hose balance,
    turn the pump off and observe SandShark . Hose balance is correct when SandShark's rests flat on the pool floor. SandShark achieves the  best cleaning coverage when the hose neither weighs down nor pulls up on the unit. Adjust hose weights one inch at a time as needed, until proper hose balance is achieved. In pools with both shallow and deep areas, adjust hose weights first in the deep area and then in the shallow area.
