AUTOMATIC POOL CLEANER

WARNING
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: Read prior to use.
SUCTION HAZARD
When using the pool cleaner, keep it away from the body parts when the cleaner is in operation.
CHILD DROWNING RISK
Adult use only. Never allow children to use the pool cleaner. Do not allow swimmers in the pool
when the cleaner is in operation. Store out of reach of children.
PREPARING YOUR POOL
Before you assemble and install the BADU®Clean Supreme, we strongly recommend that you carry
out the following steps to ensure your pool is ready for the BADU®Clean Supreme to operate.
1. Make sure the chemical balance of your pool water is correct.
2. Brush your pool and let any debris settle.
3. Vacuum your pool, using a manual vacuum cleaner.
4. Clean your pool filter, skimmer basket and pump strainer basket.
5. Close the pool main drain. (If your pool has one.)
6. Adjust your pool return lines so that the water flow is directed downwards to ensure
complete cleaning of your pool. The flow of water from the return line(s) can affect the
performance of your new BADU®Clean Supreme, as it can push it away from certain areas,
or cause it to stay in one section of the pool. To turn the flow downward simply:
•Loosen the lock ring
•Turn the eyeball, so that the flow is directed downward.
•Retighten the lock ring.
7. If necessary, replace the eyeball fitting with the Eyeball Diverter supplied with your
BADU®Clean Supreme. To do so, simply:
•Make sure the pool pump is switched off.
•Unscrew the lock ring.
•Replace the original eyeball with the Eyeball Diverter.
•Make sure the Eyeball Diverter is positioned so as to direct the flow downwards.
Note: The Eyeball Diverter does not fit all pool return line fittings!

Assembling & Installing your Pool Cleaner
STEP 1: Check Contents of the Box
Remove the BADU®Clean Supreme body and all parts from the box and check that the following
components are included. Refer to figure 1.

STEP 2: Assemble the Pool Cleaner
To assemble, simply fit your pool cleaner skirt to the body.
Simply stretch the skirt (with the fins pointing up, towards
the cleaner) over the Footpad, as shown in Fig. 2.
Make sure the inside rim if the Skirt is located in the track
that runs around the Footpad. When the Skirt is correctly
positioned, it should easily rotate around the Footpad.
STEP 3. Use of the Deflector Wheel
Use the Deflector Wheel if your pool has tight corners
and/or a ladder. The Deflector Wheel helps guide the
BADU®Clean Supreme around these obstacles.
To fit the Deflector Wheel, simply push it over the
Locking Nut, until it has engaged correctly and
rotates freely. See Fig. 3.

STEP 4. Connect Hoses & Position the Hose Weight(s).
Connect sufficient lengths of hoses
to cover the distance from the pool
skimmer or vacuum point, to the furthest
point of your pool, plus one length.
See Fig. 4.
The Female (large) hose cuff is fitted
to the BADU®Clean Supreme. Use the
optional extra Agile Adaptor here.
The male (small) hose cuff connects
to the next hose.
See Fig. 5.
If you have a deep pool, you may need
to fit the hose weights. This is to
counteract excessive buoyancy created
by the hose. The hose weights simply
slides over the Male hose cuff and can
then be positioned wherever required
on the hose. Adjusting the position of
the weights could provide better
performance.
See Fig. 6.

STEP 5. Connect Hoses & Position the Automatic Regulator Valve.
The Automatic Regulator valve ensures the
BADU®Clean Supreme receives the flow required
to ensure optimum performance.
• Make sure the pool pump is turned OFF.
• Expel all the air from the hose.
• Insert the Automatic Regulator Valve into the
WEIR/Skimmer. If necessary, use the Regulator
Valve 2” Hose Cone to ensure a good connection.
See Fig. 7 & 8.
• Turn the pool pump ON.
• Your BADU®Clean Supreme will now begin
automatically vacuuming your pool.
The Automatic Regulator Valve is preset between
Positions 3-4. This provides the ideal operating flow
in most pools. But if necessary, the flow can be
adjusted by using any setting from Position 1 through 6
(1=minimum flow, to slow the cleaner down,
6 = maximum flow, your cleaner will run faster).
See Fig. 9.

Troubleshooting
Due to the individual characteristics of your pool, some adjustments may be required to get the best
possible performance from your new BADU®Clean Supreme.
The following tips will help you to optimize the performance of your new cleaner.

SOLUTIONS
1. If the pool cleaner is working
slowly, runs then stops or not
moving or pulsating at all.
• Checktoensurethatthemaindrainand
all suction lines are closed, except for the
suction line to which the cleaner is
attached.
• Checkfordebrisintheweir/skimmeror
pump baskets and check that all the
baskets are in a good condition and are
not broken.
• Checkfordebrisinthecleaner’s
diaphragm or for wear or damage.
• Checkthatthefilterhasbeen
backwashed and rinsed thoroughly.

2. If the cleaner stays at the shallow
end steps.
• CheckandfittheDeflectorWheel.
• Checkthatthehosesarelongenoughto

5. If the cleaner slows or stops and
air bubbles enter the pool at the
return line.
• Checkthehosestoensurethatthere
are no leaks.
• CheckthevacuumlidattheAutomatic
Regulator Valve connection. It should be
submerged in the water so no air enters
the system. Top up the water level if it is
necessary.
• Checkthepumplidforlooseness,cracks
and worn or missing O-rings. If you need
assistance contact your pool
professionals.
6. The pool cleaner falls on its side. • Makesuretheouterextensionpipe

7. The Hose connection does not fit
the Automatic Regulator Valve.

Routine Maintenance
To maintain the performance of your BADU®Clean Supreme:
•When removed from the pool, make sure the hose is stowed straight. Never coil the hose as this
may cause distortion which may adversely affect the pool cleaner.
•Remove the pool cleaner (including hose) before chemical treatment. Wait a minimum of 4 hours
after super chlorination (shock treatment) of your pool before re-installing the pool cleaner.
•Clean the filter, skimmer basket and pump basket regularly.
•When not in use, keep the cleaner Skirt flat, to avoid risk of warping.
•Periodically inspect your pool cleaner for signs of wear. If necessary, replace any worn parts.
•NOTE: Due to the harsh conditions in which your cleaner operates, its colour may fade and
discolour over time.
Replacing the Diaphragm
The diaphragm of your pool cleaner operates at the rate of approximately 360 beats per minute.
If your pool cleaner operates daily for 8 hours, the diaphragm will open and close over
60 000 0000 times in a year! The design has been perfected over many years and, properly cared
for, the diaphragm will lasts for several seasons. In the event that it does become worn or damaged
and needs to be replaced, simply follow these easy steps:
7
1. Unscrew the Lock Nut and remove it, together with the Outer Extension Pipe and the Thrust Washer.
Place these items to one side.
2. Hold the Inner Extension Pipe (IEP) and gently pull it towards you. This pulls the tabs out of their recess.

8
3. Turn the Inner Extension Pipe so the tabs line up with the holes in the IEP Locator. Do not remove the Inner
Extension Pipe from the body.
4. Push the Inner Extension Pipe away from you, so the tabs go through the holes in the IEP Locator.
5. Grasp the other end of the Diaphragm (the end furthest away from the Inner Extension Pipe) and pull it away
from the pool cleaner body. The Diaphragm will fall clear of the body.
6. Twist the Diaphragm, removing it from the Inner Extension Pipe.
7. Remove the Retaining Ring from the Diaphragm. Discard the used Diaphragm.

9
(a) Fit the Retaining Ring onto the new Diaphragm.
(c) Pull the Inner Extension Pipe up through the
body, positioning the tabs so that they can
be pulled through the holes in the IEP Locator.
(e) Check that the Diaphragm is correctly located.
If it has become twisted during the installation,
simply untwist by slightly turning the
open end of the Diaphragm.
(g) Place the Outer Extension Pipe over the
Inner Extension Pipe.
(b) Push the Diaphragm onto the Inner Extension
Pipe.
(d) Gently turn the Inner Extension Pipe so the
tabs are aligned with the recesses in the IEP
Locator. Release the Inner Extension Pipe.
(f) Slide the Thrust Washer over the Inner
Extension Pipe. The flat side (widest diameter)
of the Thrust Washer should face down.
(h) Screw the Locking Nut into place to lock
the assembly. Be careful not to over-tighten
the Locking Nut.
(i) Check that the Outer Extension
Pipe swivels freely.
To install a new diaphragm, simply reverse the process:
