General
The auto cleaner is designed to clean the pool as follow:
• The brushes from the auto cleaner remove the fine dirt from the floor.
• The fine sediments and debris on the floor are agitated by the auto cleaner
movement. This allows the filtration system to filter out the fine sediments
suspended in the water, while the auto cleaner pick up the heavy debris
on the floor.
• The movement of the auto cleaner around the pool prevents the water from
stagnating. Thus helping circulate the pool water through the filtration system.
IMPORTANT PREPARATION INFORMATION
SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
Dirt in the pool
• The Auto Cleaner operates from the pressure side of the pool water return
connector (water flowing from the filter pump to the pool). If the Auto Cleaner
is attached to the pool “outlet” (water flowing from the pool to the filter pump)
connector, it will not work.
• The Auto Cleaner will not work if there is an Intex Saltwater System or Ozone
Generator connected to the same water circulation line as the Auto Cleaner.
Disconnect these sanitation devices from the water circulation line before
installing the Auto Cleaner. Once the Auto Cleaner has finished cleaning the
pool, disconnect, remove the Auto Cleaner from the pool, reinstall and resume
the sanitation device operation.

• The Auto Cleaner must be connected to an Intex filter pump with a system
flow rate between 1600 - 3500 gallons/hour (6056 - 13248 liters/hour). Not
suitable for non-Intex filter pumps.
• For Intex®above ground frame pools.
• Up to 26 ft (7.92 m) round shape. Up to 18 ft (5.49 m) for Easy Set Pools.
• Up to 32 ft x 16 ft (9.75 m x 4.88 m) rectangular/oval shape. Not suitable
for non-Intex pools.
• First assemble your filter pump and then set up the auto cleaner.
• If using a sand filter, ensure the sand media is clean by backwashing it first.
Run the sand filter pump for 10-15 minutes before connecting the auto cleaner
to the water return connector. If sand enters the auto cleaner, it may cause
damage to the gear module.
• The auto cleaner will not work if the filter pump is not operating.
• Operating pool water temperature requirement: 25~45 °C (77~113 °F).
Exceeding this range will reduce the performance and life expectancy of the
Auto Cleaner.
Before setup, make sure that:
• The filter pump is turned off, and disconnect the power cord from the electrical
outlet.
• The pool is free from objects that will hinder the auto cleaner free movements
by removing the ladder, surface skimmer, water sprayer (if applicable), floats
or any other objects from the pool.
• The pool wall or floor are free from algae. Algae will block the flow of water
into the cleaner and hinder the auto cleaner movement. See your local pool
supply specialist for algae treatment solutions.
1. From inside of the pool, unscrew the nozzle from the water return connector.
See Fig. 1.
NOTE: The device operates from the pressure side of the pool water return
connector (water flowing back from the filter pump to the pool).

Turn on the filter pump and make sure water is flowing through the micro-screen
(6) and the pressure release valve (7). The auto cleaner is now moving and
vacuuming the pool floor and pool wall. See Fig. 10.
Note: The cartridge filter pump or sand filter pump will clean the pool water.
It’s essential to clean or replace the filter cartridge or backwash sand media
frequently to keep the water clean.
If the Auto Cleaner is paired up with a sand filter pump, the system flow will
diminish and the pressure will rise as indicated by the sand filter pump
pressure gauge reading (from green to yellow zone), this is normal. Disconnect
the Auto Cleaner from the pool and check if the sand filter pressure gauge
reading will drop back to the green zone. Refer to the sand filter pump manual
for more details.

TROUBLE SOLUTION
• Ensure the filter pump is operating. Lift the auto cleaner
out of the water and check if water is flowing out from
the exhaust port located on the front or rear of the device.
The flow of water shall alternate between the front and
rear exhaust ports, and this cycle is about 30-100 seconds.
• If there is no water flowing out from either the front or
rear ports, check that the auto cleaner hose is correctly
attached to the pool “water return connector” (water
returning from pump to the pool), see “Setup” section.
• Make sure the pool floor is flat and level, any wrinkles,
folds, bulges, pits, will hinder the free movement of the
auto cleaner.
• Check and clean the debris net and micro-screen.
• Clean or replace the filter pump cartridge.
• If using a sand filter, ensure the sand media is clean by
backwashing it. See sand filter owner’s manual.
• The auto pool cleaner running speed is directly related
to the filtration system flow rate. Change the filtration
system to a higher pump flow rate.
• Evacuate all the air in the hose and auto cleaner, see
“Setup” section.
• Pool water too dirty. Ensure the pool water chemistry
is balanced. If the pool water is green, brown or black,
adjust the chlorine and pH level. See pool owner’s manual.
• Check if the pump flow rate is within the specified range
1600-3500 gph (6056-13248 L/h). Check if the pressure
release valve “button” is in the correct setting according
to the filtration system pump flow rate, see “Setup” section.
• If the size of the leaves at the bottom of the pool is
larger than the size of the suction outlet, use a skimmer
net before using the auto cleaner.
• If the size of the leaves at the bottom of the pool is
smaller than the size of the suction outlet, remove the
brush set (12 & 13) of the cleaner for better effect. See
“Setup” for details.
• If there are too many leaves at the bottom of the pool,
empty the dirt from the cleaner base more frequently.

TROUBLE SOLUTION
• A dirty filter screen will reduce the force of the auto
cleaner and therefore unable to pull the hose. Check
and clean the debris net (3), micro-screen (6) and the
filter cartridge more frequently.
• Make sure the pool water temperature is within the
recommended range: 25-45 ºC (77~113 ºF).
• Make sure the hose elbow is closed and securely locked
over the hose and collar nut.
• If the hose is coiled in a circle, it will not affect the auto
cleaner movement around the pool. This is normal.
• If the hose is tangled or twisted, this will prevent the auto
cleaner reaching the farthest end of the pool. Stretch out
the hose by slowly pulling the auto cleaner across the pool
to the opposite side. Make sure the hose is stretched out
before operating the auto cleaner.
• Alternatively disconnect the hose from the pool and the
auto cleaner, stretch out the hose on a flat surface and let it
warm up under the sun (10-24 hours) before using it.
• When not in use, clean the hose inside and outside with a
garden hose, air dry thoroughly, coil the hose loosely and
store indoors in a dry and cool place.
• As the auto cleaner move around, fine sediments on the
pool floor will be stirred up causing the water to be cloudy.
This is normal. It helps the filter pump to clean the pool water.
• Run the filtration system and the auto cleaner longer. The
filtration system will filter out the fine sediments suspended
in the water, while the auto cleaner will pick up the heavy
debris on the floor. Check and clean the filtration media and
the debris net more frequently.
• Present of algae in the pool. Treat the pool water with
algaecide and wait for the algae to shed before using the
auto cleaner. See your local pool supply specialist for algae
treatment solutions. Check and clean the debris net more
frequently.
• Too much algae or dust in the water, clean the debris net,
filter cartridge or backwash the sand media more frequently
during the initial stage until a noticeable water clarity is
observed.
• Maintain proper pool water chemistry, see pool owner’s
manual or check with your local pool supply specialist for
more details.

1. Make sure the filter pump is turned off, and disconnect the power cord from
the electrical outlet.
2. Using the Set Up instructions in reverse, disassemble the auto cleaner.
3. Clean and air dry all the accessories and parts thoroughly.
4. Loosely roll up and avoid twisting the hose during storage. Do not put heavy

Water recreation is both fun and therapeutic. However, it involves inherent
risks of injury and death. To reduce your risk of injury, read and follow all
product, package and package insert warnings and instructions. Remember,
however, that product warnings, instructions and safety guidelines cover
some common risks of water recreation, but do not cover all risks and or
dangers.
For additional safeguards, also familiarize yourself with the following
general guidelines as well as guidelines provided by nationally recognized
Safety Organizations:
• Demand constant supervision. A competent adult should be appointed as a
“lifeguard” or water watcher, especially when children are in and around the
pool.
• Learn to swim.
• Take the time to learn CPR and first aid.
• Instruct anyone who is supervising pool users about potential pool hazards and
about the use of protective devices such as locked doors, barriers, etc.
• Instruct all pool users, including children what to do in case of an emergency.
• Always use common sense and good judgement when enjoying any water
activity.
• Supervise, supervise, supervise.
