JET-VAC AUTOMATIC POOL CLEANER – INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
JET-VAC
AUTOMATIC
POOL CLEANER
Like any other mechanical device, the Jet-Vac
should be routinely maintained. Jet-Vac travels over
1,000 kilometres (620 miles) per year, underwater.
Therefore, we recommend that you have your
Jet-Vac checked periodically by your local pool
professional.
Not only does Jet-Vac pick up leaves, debris, sand
and silt, it also spreads your chlorine all over the pool
and ensures sparkling clean water all the time. There
are a few hints, which will help you prolong the life of
your Jet-Vac and reduce operating costs at the
same time.
•Jet-Vac is not designed to clean up after new pool
construction. Large amounts of pebbles, grit and
sand can damage the wheel bearings. Please
manually vacuum the pool thoroughly before
installing the Jet-Vac.
•If your new Jet-Vac tends to fly around the pool,
remove the Jet-Vac and lay the feed hoses and
sweep hose out in the sun for 1-2 days. This will
remove the hoses “memory” of being coiled up.
•Jet-Vac is a very efficient pool cleaner and normally
only requires 2-3 hours of use per day. The Jet-
Vac booster pump can only run while the pool
pump is operating. To achieve this, we strongly
recommend that a separate time clock is installed.
For Australian customers we recommend the
Aqua-Quip Flow Control Pro Series Timer. This will
minimize the risk of your Jet-Vac pump running
dry and will significantly reduce ongoing repair
costs. The Flow Control Pro Series Timer is simple
to install and is available from your local pool
professional.
•The inner surface of a concrete pool can be
abrasive and the Jet-Vac will have certain
components wearing down over time. The wheels
have special wear indicator grooves molded in
so that you can easily tell when they need to be
replaced.
•Empty the leaf bag regularly. Failure to do this
results in twigs ripping the bag or the bag dragging
along the surface of the pool, resulting in premature
failure.
•When removing Jet-Vac from the pool for an
extended time, always lay the hose straight. Do
not store the Jet-Vac hose coiled up. Never store
Jet-Vac exposed to direct sunlight.
•If the Jet-Vac starts to move more slowly than
normal, check the filter screen inside the white
wall fitting. To clean the filter screen: Push in and
turn the bayonet style wall fitting anti-clockwise to
release it from the wall adaptor. Remove mesh filter
screen for cleaning. O-ring on wall fitting should
be lubricated regularly to enable easy removal.
Clean this filter screen regularly to ensure efficient
operation at all times.
•Before backwashing the filter, turn the Jet-Vac
pump off. Disconnect bayonet wall fitting from
wall adaptor. Backwash the filter according to
manufacturer’s instructions. After backwashing is
complete, turn on pool pump to run on filter cycle
and then switch Jet-Vac pump on for 10 seconds.
This will dislodge any debris caught in the Jet-Vac
supply line. The Jet-Vac pump will run noisy whilst
running without the wall fitting attached for this
short period of time. Turn off the Jet-Vac pump and
pool pump, reconnect Jet-Vac bayonet wall fitting
onto wall adaptor. Place Jet-Vac cleaner into pool.
•After turning on the pool pump and Jet-Vac pump
you may find air accumulating in the leaf bag. If so,
release it by gently touching the top of the leaf bag
with a telepole or similar device. Air will be released
through the mesh air-release material at the top of
the leaf bag.
•Never operate your Jet-Vac without a booster
pump. Your existing filter system cannot generate
adequate pressure.
•Always remove Jet-Vac and hoses when adding
chemicals. Run filter to mix chemicals in water for
at least 30 minutes before reinstalling Jet-Vac and
hoses in water.
CONGRATULATIONS on purchasing Jet-Vac, the finest pool cleaner available today.
Jet-Vac has a patented, built-in backup system that will move the unit out of corners and
away from other obstacles that tend to trap other pool cleaners. The unit moves forward
for approximately three minutes, then backs up and turns for approximately 45 seconds,
all the while vacuuming and sweeping your pool in a random pattern. It is designed with
fewer moving parts to give you years of dependable, economical service.
Jet-Vac is proudly made in Australia, built from the best materials obtainable using state-
of-the-art machinery and is backed by a one year limited warranty that guards against
defects in parts and workmanship.

JET-VAC AUTOMATIC POOL CLEANER – INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
JET-VAC
AUTOMATIC
POOL CLEANER
The Jet-Vac comes packaged in two separate boxes.
One box contains the head and hose assembly, and
the other contains the Booster Pump. The Jet-Vac
needs a low volume, high pressure Booster Pump to
operate correctly.
You may already have a booster pump at your
equipment pad. If so, proceed to the next section
after the Booster Pump Installation.
The Jet-Vac is designed to clean swimming pools
that have been pre-plumbed with a dedicated line
(pipe) that runs from its own Booster Pump to the
wall of the pool. At that point, most pools have
40mm (1½”) female threads. The Jet-Vac wall fitting
screws into this 40mm (1½”) female thread. If the
pool has 19mm (¾”) female threads, it will require the
Wall Adaptor 19mm (¾”) MPT x 40mm (1½”) FPT
Reducer Bushing or YMP002 Wall Adaptor.
QUICK DISCONNECTS:
Quick Disconnects are used at all important hose
junctions. They are easily snapped on and off by
pulling back on the ring and twisting on or off. Give a
tug at the connection to make sure it’s snug.
MENDER NUTS:
These plastic nuts provide a gripping hold over hose
ends that have been pushed down over various fittings
and connections. With the hose pushed tight over
the end of the fitting or connection, grasp the hose in
one hand and slide the mender nut toward the hose,
twisting until firmly in place over the hose end.
BOOSTER PUMP INSTALLATION:
Installation of the Booster Pump requires both
electrical and plumbing. The electrical connections
should be completed by a licensed electrician
in accordance with applicable electrical codes.
Remember, the Booster Pump is not self-priming
and must be installed AFTER the filter pump and
BEFORE any chlorinating device, such as liquid
chlorine feeder, salt chlorinator or tablet feeder.
Booster Pump details are packaged in Booster
Pump box.
Please note, a Booster Pump is required for the
Jet-Vac to work. If you do not have an existing
booster pump please contact your local pool
professional.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
BEFORE YOU START, PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE DOCUMENT TO
ENSURE PROPER INSTALLATION AND CARE OF YOUR JET-VAC.
WALL FITTING INSTALLATION:
The Bayonet Wall Fitting conveys pressurised water
from the booster pump to the Jet Vac feed hoses.
There are two styles of Bayonet Wall Fittings, one of
which is factory fitted to the feed hose.
Both wall fittings contain a stainless steel strainer
screen and both provide a means to control the
water flow to the Jet Vac.
1) Flush the Jet-Vac supply line by first turning ON
the Filter Pump and then the Booster Pump – for
30 seconds only – without the bayonet wall fitting
attached.
2) Turn OFF both pumps.
3) Remove the JV23 Wall Adaptor from the wall
fitting and screw adaptor by hand into the 1½”
female thread on the dedicated line. Turn until
tight – use wrench if necessary.
4) Take the Bayonet Wall Fitting and twist lock
the wall fitting clockwise into the wall adaptor a
quarter turn to a snug fit.
Once the wall adaptor is secure you can now twist
lock and unlock to remove wall fitting with ease from
the wall adaptor, which stays firmly screwed in place.
It is important to periodically check and if necessary
clean the wall fitting strainer screen and also to
lubricate the o-ring.

FEEDER HOSE ASSEMBLY:
Feeder hoses are factory-assembled and must
always be in the following order:
FIRST SECTION is a WHITE HOSE that fits
between the WALL FITTING and the DARK BLUE
HOSE.
SECOND SECTION is a DARK BLUE HOSE that
fits between the WHITE HOSE and the LIGHT
BLUE HOSE.
THIRD SECTION is a LIGHT BLUE HOSE that fits
between the DARK BLUE HOSE and the JET-VAC.
The Jet-Vac feed lines are formulated with a special
material for maximum performance. These feed lines
cannot be kinked at any time either during operation
or when being removed from the pool. Kinking feed
lines will result in bursting and will not be covered by
warranty. From time to time it may be necessary to
lay the entire assembled hose out straight in the sun
to remove any coil-memory from the hose.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE FOR
JET-VAC FEED HOSE:
1) Turn off booster pump, filter pump and time
clocks.
2) Attach the wall fitting to the pool wall, as shown in
Figure 1 on previous page. Feed hose is factory-
fitted to the wall fitting.
3) Take the “sweep hose” end of the Jet-Vac hose
and walk around the circumference of the pool to
find the point that is furthest from the wall fitting.
Remove the slack from the hose but do not
stretch the hose.
4) Hold the hose at the pool edge. Allow 600mm (2ft)
overhang past the pool edge, then measure from
this point to the end of the feed hose. Remember
what this distance is. This is the distance that will
need to be cut off the Dark Blue Hose.
5) Go back to the Dark Blue Hose where it is marked
“Cut This Section Only”, unscrew the Mender Nut
and cut the hose to the required length. After you
cut the Dark Blue Hose, evenly space the Hose
Floats by sliding them so they divide the remaining
section into three equal parts. Depending on how
much hose is cut, there may be only one Hose
Float left on this hose. If so, then slide the Hose
Float to the middle of the Dark Blue Hose.
6) Re-attach the Dark Blue Hose to the Swivel and
tighten the Mender Nut.

The Jet-Vac Feed Hose has now been
installed, connected to the pool wall and
cut to size. Now proceed to assemble and
install the Jet-Vac head unit.
ASSEMBLE AND INSTALL JET-VAC
HEAD UNIT:
1) Attach JV30 Funnel Adaptor to Jet-Vac head.
Ensure JV29 Gasket is sitting flat in JV30.
2) Attach JV32 Debris Bag to JV30 Funnel Adaptor.
3) Attach JV50 Disconnect Swivel at sweep hose
end of feed hose onto Jet-Vac cleaner.
4) Place the Jet-Vac in pool, at furthest point from
wall fitting.
5) Turn ON pool pump for at least 30 seconds to
purge the air from the unit.
6) Turn ON booster pump. Remember, booster pump
must only operate whilst pool pump is running.
Congratulations, the Jet-Vac is now
installed and operating.
JET-VAC OPERATION:
The feed hose for the Jet-Vac Pool Cleaner has been
coiled in its box for a period of time. Once installed,
the feed hose may try to coil up, causing the Jet-Vac
to climb and fly around the pool.
To remove this “memory” from the feed hose it may
be necessary to lay the entire hose out in the sun for
a full day in a straight position. When doing this, also
straighten out the Sweep Hose. This straightening
of the hose should enable the Jet-Vac to travel more
consistently on the pool floor and track steadier.
A different way to remove the memory from the
coiled hose is to carefully pour hot water down the
feed hose and lay out straight for an hour.
CLEANING THE JET-VAC BAG:
Jet-Vac will quickly and efficiently pick up all kinds
of debris that ends up on the pool floor. Check
and empty the debris bag regularly. Failure to clean
the bag may result in the bag becoming blocked,
weighing down the Jet-Vac, causing damage and
severely hampering its performance. Damage caused
to the Jet-Vac due to improper maintenance is not
covered under warranty.
To clean the bag: Remove the entire bag assembly
(including funnel adaptor) from the Jet-Vac by
twisting counter clockwise to release the snap-lock.
To remove bag with locking ring from funnel adaptor,
position finger as shown by putting thumb on one
tab and finger on the other tab. Push in the opposite
directions to unlock (see drawing below).
Empty debris from bag, and rinse clean with cold
water. Next hold the funnel adaptor upside down
and gently tap against a solid surface to dislodge
the flexible funnel adaptor gasket. Rinse any debris
from both sides of the gasket and the funnel adaptor.
Press the gasket back into the funnel adaptor, fit the
bag and lock ring in place. Lock the funnel adaptor
onto the Jet-Vac, and it’s ready to resume cleaning.
Jet-Vac is supplied with the JV32 Fine Debris Bag.
This will collect all types of debris and is perfect
for picking up fine materials. If your pool fills with
tree branches and large twigs, then these may
prematurely wear the material in the JV32 Fine Debris
Bag. Therefore, it may be more suitable to use
the JV31 Coarse Leaf Bag, which is made from a
stronger and coarser material. Many Jet-Vac owners
who have large leaf loads continually alternate
between the Fine and the Coarse bags, one week
using the JV32 and the next week using the JV31.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE (continued)
To remove JV32 Bag & Lock Ring from
Funnel Adaptor:
Position fingers as shown by putting thumb on one
tab and finger on the other tab. Push in opposite
directions to snap off.

TROUBLESHOOTING:
Initial Start-up Troubleshooting:
Certain site-specific factors may influence the speed
and performance of your newly-installed Jet-Vac.
If your Jet-Vac is not working properly, first check
that it has been installed correctly by reviewing the
information on pages 2-5 of this document.
A. Too fast?
If your Jet-Vac is moving too fast, flying off the pool
floor and climbing uncontrollably, then reduce the
pressure at the wall fitting, refer to Diagram 1.
B. Too slow?
If your Jet-Vac is sluggish and not moving along the
pool floor properly, then check and clean the pool
filter, skimmer basket, pump basket, debris bag and
wall fitting strainer. Ensure that both the pool pump
and booster pump are operating correctly. Check
that the JV50 Quick Disconnect is properly attached
to the body of the Jet-Vac. Check and adjust the wall
fitting if required, See Diagram 1.
If the Jet-Vac is still moving too slowly around the
pool, then it is likely that there is not enough pressure
being generated from the booster pump. Contact
your local pool professional who can check the
pressure by using the JVP8 Pressure Test Stick. Ideal
pressure is 172-193 kpa (25-28 psi). See Diagram 3.
GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING
Over time, if your Jet-Vac’s performance diminishes please check the Regular Maintenance Checklist below.
JET-VAC REGULAR MAINTENANCE CHECK LIST:
Regular checking and maintenance of your Jet-Vac will help prevent
premature wear and tear.
• Check and clean the wall fitting strainer regularly.
• Ensure that the booster pump timeclock is
synchronised with the pool pump timeclock.
• Empty the debris bag regularly.
• Regularly check and lubricate the o-ring on the
bayonet wall fitting.
• Remove funnel adaptor gasket and clean all fine
debris and sand before re-connecting Jet-Vac
bag.
• Check that the bearings/wheels are free
spinning.
• When backwashing, make sure that the Jet-Vac
wall fitting is completely disconnected.
• After backwashing, ensure that the supply line is
completely flushed before re-connecting Jet-Vac.
• Stainless steel wheel should be 19mm (¾”) off
the ground.
• Check hose swivels and disconnect swivel for
leaks and ease of rotation.
• Ensure that there are no holes in wall fitting
strainer.
• Roller rings on sweep hose should be free
spinning and not worn.
• The sweep hose should be flexible and swishing.
• Check for correct gearbox operation, this
ensures that Jet-Vac will reverse properly.
• Make sure that any worn parts on the Jet-Vac
are promptly replaced.

General Troubleshooting continued
Jet-Vac rises and glides above the pool
floor?
Check note A on page 6. Also ensure the height of
the JV15 Stainless Steel Wheel is 1/2” - 3/4” (13mm-
20mm) off the pool floor. Re-tighten the JV41 screw
to ensure the JV9 Roller Arm is not loose. Lay the
Jet-Vac feed hose out in the sun to remove memory
from the feed hose.
Jet-Vac slow or not moving?
Check note B on page 6. Check the condition of
wheels (tyres) and replace worn parts as necessary.
Tyres have a notch as a wear indicator. Tyres should
be replaced when the notch is gone. Propulsion of
the Jet-Vac can be hampered by a stiffened JV52
Sweep Hose. Sweep Hoses usually last 4-5 years
before becoming stiff and ineffective due to pool
chemicals. If so, replace the JV52 Sweep Hose.
Check for any damaged or leaking feed hoses and
swivels and replace as necessary.
Grit may accumulate in the wheel bearings. Use a
strong stream of water to spray the wheel bearings
while forcefully rotating the wheels back and forth in
both directions until they spin freely.
Jet-Vac not reversing, getting stuck in
corners?
First, check all solutions above. Check for correct
gear box operation by following instructions in “How
does my Jet-Vac work?” on Page 8. Grit may have
entered Jet-Vac’s gear box. Remove JV5 Bottom
Plate by following the instructions in “JV204 Internal
Tune-Up Kit Installation Guide” (go to the “Tune-up
Kit Installation” link at http://www.jetvac.com.au/
temp/image/jetvac_tuneup.pdf
Clean grit from bottom plate and gears and
re-assemble.
If cleaner still does not reverse, install a new JV204
Internal Tune Up Kit.
Each pool is different, and sometimes Jet-Vac does
temporarily get snagged in sharp corners or steps.
As long as Jet-Vac is able to reverse out of these
obstructions, it will keep your pool clean. Adjust
the angle of the JV12 Roller Arm up or down (by
loosening the JV41, adjusting the angle, then re-
tightening the JV41) to free your Jet-Vac from these
obstructions.
Hose tangles?
Feed hose may be too long. Review the instructions
on “Feeder Hose Assembly” to verify that the
instructions were carefully followed. Check hose
swivels to make sure they turn freely, and replace any
that will not. Check JV57 Hose Floats for buoyancy,
and replace faulty or worn floats.
Cleaner stays in deep end and does not
climb?
Remove the JV12 Roller Arm from its current position
on the blue body and re-fit it to the highest screw
hole provision.
Remove the JV15 Stainless Steel wheel from its
current position on the JV12 Roller Arm and re-fit it to
the highest screw hole provision.
Angle the JV12 Roller Arm down so that the JV15
Stainless Steel wheel is just 13mm (½”) off the pool
floor.
Your problem isn’t mentioned here?
Contact your local pool professional.

JET-VAC AUTOMATIC POOL CLEANER – INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
JET-VAC
AUTOMATIC
POOL CLEANER
What makes my Jet-Vac go forward
or reverse?
There are ports and channels inside the white
bottom plate.
Forward: When the forwarding port is open, the
water is directed to the JV17 Pusher Jet Nozzle,
providing the propulsion to push the Jet-Vac forward.
Reverse: The reversing port is divided into two
segments. At the start of the reversing cycle, water
is directed to the left side reversing jet, making the
Jet-Vac reverse and rotate anti-clockwise. When the
reversing port is fully open, equal amounts of water
will be directed to the left and right reversing ports,
allowing the Jet-Vac to reverse in a straight line.
At the end of the reversing cycle, water is directed
to the right side reversing jet, making the Jet-Vac
reverse and rotate clockwise. The continual reversing
and rotating of the Jet-Vac ensures the cleaner
will not get caught or snagged in any spot for a
significant length of time.
Check the correct operation of the gearbox by
holding the Jet-Vac out of water whilst operating.
Watch the correct cycling of the water flow as
described above.
Hint: Hold the cleaner upside down at water level
to gain the best view. Hold the sweep hose from
spraying everywhere.
What opens and closes the ports?
The bottom JV7 Gear is the active gear in closing
and opening the forwarding and reversing ports.
The series of holes in the gears ensures that the
forwarding port and the reversing ports cannot open
at the same time or be closed at the same time. High
pressure water enters the Jet-Vac head and spins
the JV8 Propellor. The propellor engages the gears
so that the bottom (active) gear moves the slowest.
When the hole in the active gear lines up with a port,
then water is directed through that port.
How long does my Jet-Vac go
forward or reverse?
Jet-Vac moves forward for approximately 3 minutes,
then moves into its reversing mode. The reversing
and rotating cycle lasts for approximately 45
seconds.
Summary:
The venturi port always remains open, so that the
Jet-Vac is always picking up debris regardless of
whether it is in forward or reverse mode. No other
pressure cleaner has this feature. When the Jet-Vac
is in forward mode, no water should be exiting from
the reversing jets. Likewise, when the Jet-Vac is in
reverse mode, no water should be exiting the JV17
Pusher Jet Nozzle. This patented system is the most
advanced, proven and reliable water management
system available today.
Propulsion:
Jet-Vac is propelled purely by water pressure.
Jet-Vac does not need turbines, drive chains or belts.
Cleaning Action:
Jet-Vac picks up debris by using a venturi jet
of water.
The Result:
Advanced yet simplistic design that requires fewer
moving parts, resulting in a reliable and robust
automatic pool cleaning system.
How does my Jet-Vac work?
High pressure filtered water is pushed from the Booster Pump through the supply line,
through the wall fitting and strainer, through the feed hose to the Jet-Vac. Some of the
water is directed to the sweep hose before entering the Jet-Vac head. Water enters
the Jet-Vac head and half is directed to the upward facing venturi jet, shooting water
up into the bag and drawing in dirt and leaves. The other half is directed into either the
Forwarding Pusher Jet to propel the cleaner forward or the Reversing Jets to make the
cleaner reverse.

Some vinyl pools have a steep incline from the deep
end to the shallow end, some simple adjustments to
the Jet-Vac will help it climb up into the shallow end
of the pool.
Remove the transparent-blue nose wheel (part #
JV13) by removing the Phillips screw and the plastic
hub that the screw goes through. Turn the nose
wheel upside down, with the flange end of the hub
up, reinstall the screw into the hub securely. Check
that it spins freely and does not fall off.
Remove the Phillips screw and nut that holds the
stainless steel wheel (part # JV15) in place and
reinstall in the lower mounting position.
Loosen, but do not remove, the Phillips screw that
attaches the roller arm (part # JV12) to the Jet-Vac
body. Place the Jet-Vac on a flat surface and
adjust the roller arm angle so that the bottom of the
stainless steel wheel (JV15) is 13mm (½”) from the
flat surface and tighten the Phillips screw securely.
Test the Jet-Vac in the pool to verify adjustments.
Note: In some cases it may be necessary to increase
pressure to 186-200 KPA (27-29 PSI) for added
thrust.
