Today we’re going to install the Polaris 360; much like the other Polaris cleaners, we can have the 360 up and running in a few steps. In our pool we have a dedicated return line with a 1-1/2” female fitting. If you don’t have a dedicated refer line please refer to your manual page 5.

The first flush out the return line by turning the pump on for a minute and then turn it off. Next, install the universal wall fitting (UWF) by disconnecting it from the quick connect and screw it on to the fitting. Now re attach the quick disconnect by inserting it into UWF, turn clockwise and pull.

Note: At this point If you have multiple return lines, eyeball regulators need to be installed in the lines to ensure adequate line pressure. Please refer to your manual for help with this.

Now we need to test and adjust the water pressure, to do so we need to connect the hose at the quick disconnect fitting. Then turn the pump on and cover the large hole with your thumb and confirm that water is coming out the pressure release valve at the end connected to the wall. If water isn’t coming out the relief valve, there isn’t adequate pressure and refer to your manual.

Next we need to adjust the hose to fit the pool, to do that we need to connect the hose to the return line and hold the hose underwater then turn on the pump. Extend the hose to the farthest end of the pool; the hose needs to be within 6” longer or shorter of the farthest point. If too long, cut the excess from the first section and reconnect. If too short, extensions can be purchased here. After correct length is achieved, adjust the floats according to the diagram.

Now we’re going to assemble the cleaner, first remove pressure tester from the hose by unscrewing the hose nut and pulling off. Use this same nut to attach the hose to the cleaner body at the feed pipe. Next pull the bag out of the cleaner body and attach bag tie collar to feed hose. Then push the head float all the way in against the body. Now place the 360 in the pool and turn the filter pump on.

That’s it for assembly but we need to check to make sure our wheels are spinning the proper RPM. The manual states the Polaris 360 needs to operate between 28 and 32 RPM. To check yours, mark one wheel tire then turn the pump on and count the revolutions for a minute. If your count is outside the 28 – 32 range, refer to your manual for help.

This is the installation of the Zodiac LM3 salt water chlorinator, while this install is a little more technical then installing a pool cleaner we will try and get you through it. First we need to go over some specifications of the LM3 and it is extremely important that you pay attention to all notes and warnings.

Salt level: 4000ppm

Max chlorine output/hour (gas chlorine equivalent):
- LM3-15: 15 grams/hour
- LM3-24: 24 grams/hour
- LM3-40: 40 grams/hour

Minimum flow rate: 20 gallons/minute

Plumbing: 1 ½” or 2” schedule 40 PVC

Max water temp through cell: 104 F

Max operating pressure: 40 psi

Max salt level: 13,000 ppm

Power requirements 220 volt / 3 amp draw

Important: Salt level in your pool should never exceed 13,000 ppm and salt levels above 6,000 ppm may damage other components!

We always recommend hiring a swimming pool professional or certified electrician for a install like this, but if you want to still proceed with doing it yourself, let’s get started.

If your pool water level is above the height of the pool equipment or you have multiple installations, please refer to your manual

First we need to plump the cell into our current system, this needs to be done so that the LM3 cell is the last piece on pool equipment that water passes through before it gets back to the pool. There are no height requirement but the cell needs to be installed horizontally and the inlet and outlet are specified on the unit. The ports are 2” and require schedule 40 PVC only, if you have 1 ½” pipe you can use the bushings provided. Any standard PVC cement can be used but make sure to give it enough time to dry before turning it on.

Here is a example of how the cell can be installed:
 

Note: the cell should be installed no more than 6’ of the power pack, and if you have to apply pressure to the top on the cell, apply pressure with both hands as shown.

Next were going to install the Power Pack, this can be mounted on a wall or post. If you want it mounted on a post, it must be centered on a flat panel of waterproof material at least 10” x 18”. Do not enclose the Power Pack in any box or above any heat source. The power pack needs to be at last 10’ from the pool edge. If you can’t install the cell within 6’ of the Power Pack, you can purchase an extension kit.

The Power Pack is going to be hard wired to 220V ONLY, it should be wired to the “LOAD” side of the pump timer, so its powered up only when the pump is powered. Now attach the yellow plug cap to the cell and replace the blue end cover.

Now we are going to wire to a controller.

    This can be done in 2 ways:

1. Via auxiliary relay at the pool automation controller
Using this method the LM3 mains power is connected to an auxiliary relay in the Pool Automation System. The LM3 unit is switched on and off as determined by the Pool Automation System settings from the Auxiliary relay. The “Output Setting” and the selection of “Super Chlorinate” must be selected at the LM3 control panel initially and the LM3 will retain these settings when switched on by the Pool Automation System until they are manually changed.

NOTE: The Super Chlorinate function will remain active for a total of 24 operating hours after being selected.

IMPORTANT: The LM3 should only have power when there is water flow and actuator valves should never block the flow when power is on. Refer to the controller’s installation guide for additional informa tion.

2. Via a Communications Link
The LM3 has the capability of being connected to a number of controller units:

• Polaris EOS
• Jandy Aqualink RS* (REV “K” and “L”)
• Pentair IntelliTouch**

The communications wire needs to be secured by fitting the wire into the slot beside the output cable cord grip and use the cable tires to secure the comm. wire to the cell output cable as shown below:

• Does not require a booster pump
• Needs a pump with at least 1hp
• Large bottom opening
• Available in Black Max Model
• Unique filter bag that removes debris before they reach your pump
• 10/1 Warranty

Now we are going to install the highly regarded Polaris 3900 Sport. The pool for our example has a dedicated return line with a 1-1/2” female fitting.

Make sure to flush out the return line by turning the pump on for a minute and then turn it off before we start. Next, install the universal wall fitting (UWF) by disconnecting the UWF from the quick connect and screw it on to the fitting with the blue restrictor plate in between the UWF and the return line. Now re attach the quick disconnect by inserting it into UWF, turn clockwise and pull.

The next step involves adjusting the hose to the right length needed for your pool. Measure the deepest part of the pool. Cut leader hose, from end that attaches to feed hose, so length is equal to the greatest depth of the pool. Attach the leader hose to the feed hose and attach the feed hose to the quick connect at the return line. The hose must be within 6” of the farthest end, longer or shorter. If longer, separate the hose at the swivel and cut equal amounts of overage from each 10 foot feed hose section. After the length is adjusted position the hose floats as shown below:

Now we need assemble the cleaner, first attach the feed hose connector to the feed pipe by pressing until it locks. The filter bag is packaged in the collar area of the vacuum tube, pull out the bag and attach the clasp to the loop on the top of the bag and secure the Velcro strips. Now turn on the filter pump to prime before turning on the booster pump.

That’s it for assembly but we need to check to make sure our wheels are spinning the proper RPM. The manual states the 280 needs to operate between 30 and 36 RPM. To check yours, mark one wheel tire then turn the pump on and count the revolutions for a minute. If your count is outside the 30 – 36 range, refer to your manual for help.

Now you can sit back and enjoy your Polaris 3900 Sport. We still recommend you refer to the manual for maintenance tips and fine tuning to ensure your pool is cleaned as efficiently as possible.

For our Pentair Legend installation, our booster pump has 1-1/2” female line from our booster pump. This is what the Legend comes equipped to connect to. If you have to install your booster pump, refer to your manual or view our install guide here. So let’s get started…

As with most pool cleaners we’re going to install the twist lock pressure relief valve (wall fitting) first, be sure to disconnect your current cleaner, and run your pump for a minute or so to clear out the line. Now remove your current wall adapter from the wall fitting and screw in the provided adapter in by hand until tight. You should connect the hose to the wall fitting at the quick disconnect and turn a 1/4 turn to snug the wall fitting:

Next is the hardest part of this installation, we are going to cut the feed hose to the right length. The hose comes in 5 sections covers 30 ft, which should be enough for most pools. The backup valve is 20” from the head cleaner and needs to remain at that distance.

So first take the feeder hose out of the box and we recommend unrolling the hose and letting it sit for a day in the sun to relax from being curled up in the box. Next, measure the depth of your pool with a telepole or the clear end of the feeder hose (usually this is where the grate or drain is at the bottom). Now cut the clear (soft) hose equal to the depth of your pool.

Example: the clear (soft) hose is 10ft. long, so if your pool is 8 ½ ft. deep, cut 1 ½ ft off. If your pool is deeper than 10 ft, don’t cut the hose.

Now we’re going to make the feed hose the right length for our pool, to do so we first attach the hose to the wall adapter and hold the opposite end of the hose and walk around the pool to find the farthest point without stretching the hose. Next measure the distance the hose extends past the furthest point of the pool, in the example below it is 71/2 ft. You’re going to cut this amount in egual parts (3 ¾ ft in our example) from the 10 ft lengths of white/grey hose on either side of the swivel.

 

Once that is done your going to reattach the hoses using the mender nuts, an example is shown in figure 1. If done correctly the end of the 20 in. clear hose should just reach the farthest edge of the pool perimeter.

 

Using the mending nuts:
	Note: Be sure not to cut floats and try to keep as many floats as possible on the white feed hose spaced evenly apart to hold the hose up on top of the water.

Now that you’ve been through all that, we lastly going to hook up the cleaning unit and turn it on. So we need to attach the hose to the cleaning unit, to do so put a extra mender nut on the legend mast, then push the clear (soft) hose gently over the mast about a ½”. Now turn the mender nut around the clear (soft) hose until tight, the backup valve should still be 20” from the head of the cleaner.

Now take the bag out of the box (EU16) and twist it firmly onto the top of the throat opening over the rubber debris valve. We are just about done but let’s double check some important points:

White and clear hoses cut properly
Floats evenly spaces
Mender nuts tight around swivels, backup valve, mast and wall fitting
Make sure wall fitting is securely locked into place

Lastly go to your equipment and turn on the filter pump for 30 seconds to force the air out of the hose and then turn the booster pump on.

That’s it! If you would like to check the operation or do any fine tuning, please refer to your manual.

The Zodiac Baracuda G3 swimming pool cleaner is easy to install on just about any pool, so let’s get started.

First were going to do some prep on the pool itself, we need to check to make sure there is nothing that can damage to pool liner (if installing in a vinyl pool) base or walls. Next, close the main drain to allow the flow to be controlled by the FlowKeeper. Now we need to vacuum the pool by hand so adjustments won’t have to be made later, also we need to clean the pool filter and skimmer/strainer baskets.

The pool return inlets need to be angled downward (this is crucial! Or your G3 will not move randomly through the pool). To adjust, loosen the lock ring and adjust the eyeball by hand to point downward, and then retighten the lock ring. If the eyeball is being stubborn, you can stick a screwdriver inside the eyeball and GENTLY pry downward to adjust. If you can’t adjust your inlets, then you must use Zodiac return line diverters.

Here is what your return inlets should be doing before adjusting:

And after:

Some pool return inlets have directional fittings or don’t have directional fittings, for these types we have the following options:

For Pools with return inlet directional fittings
	Replace the Directional eyeball with the zodiac retrofit eyeball return line diverter, and then reinstall the eyeball retaining ring You can find these items here: Part# W90153 for 1 ½” return lines Part# W90153 for 2” return lines

For Pools with return inlet directional fittings
	Replace the Directional eyeball with the zodiac retrofit eyeball return line diverter, and then reinstall the eyeball retaining ring You can find these items here: Part# W24100

Next were going to assemble the cleaning unit, to start slide the finned disc over the foot pad so that it fits into the grooves and rotates freely on the foot pad. The fins on the disc face upward.

We now need to install the wheel deflector; this is only used by some zodiac pool cleaners for proper performance. If your model includes one, slide the wheel over the extension pipe until the top clips of the wheel are seated in the groove and the wheel rotates freely.

To assemble the hose we need to determine if your skimmer/vacuum fitting is located at the corner or center of the pool. Note: you may not need to use all your hose sections or may need more depending on your pool size

For corner or end Pools

Use enough hose sections to reach the farthest point, plus 1 section.

For Center Pools

Use enough hose sections to reach the farthest point of the pool plus 2 sections

Next we need to balance the cleaner with a weight to make sure the cleaner sits level on the pool floor, to do this you need to reference your manual to find your model number and place the weight according to the chart below:

Model Number:
 

W83251 - Hose weight is not needed for this model, but to prevent the cleaner from climbing the walls excessively snap 1 weight onto the first section of hose about 3 feet from the cleaner head
W03000 – Snap 1 hose weight onto the middle of the first hose section, the weight should be about a foot and a half away from the cleaner head
W83215 & W83216 – Snap 2 hose weights onto the middle of the second section, the weights should be about 4 and a half feet away from the head

We need to remove the air from the hose, to do so turn your filter pump off, hold the cleaner head and hose underwater and attach the cleaner head to the female end of the hose. Now turn the pump on and fill the hose with water by placing the end over a return inlet.

Were almost done!

Now we need to attach the hose to our skimmer/vacuum line, to start we will explain how to install with a skimmer:

Using the parts below, choose a fitting combination that works best for your skimmer. Note: you may have parts left over. Then attach the hose protector net (C) to the hose section that sticks out of the skimmer. Now remove your skimmer basket and attach the Flowkeeper valve combination to the hose with the protector on it. You can now install into the skimmer as shown in example 1 or 2 and turn on the filter pump. Note: if you have multiple skimmers, use the skimmer that’s closest to the plumbing manifold.

For installing with a dedicated vacuum line, it’s even easier:

We don’t need the Flowkeeper valve, so insert the male end of the hose into the large end of the 45 degree elbow. Then insert the 45 elbow into the vacuum lock and angle the elbow toward the pool surface. That’s it.

Lastly we need to check the flow of water to make sure the cleaner will run properly, to do this we recommend you use 2 people so go grab a friend. 1 person should be at the plumbing manifold and the other should be pool side.

Once you’re in position, remove the cleaner head and attach the pool pulse to the end of the hose and keep it under water. Now turn the filter pump on, what we are going to be looking for is the blue indicator on the side of the pool pulse to be in the ideal range. This will differ depending on how many skimmers you have:

For pools with 1 skimmer, the flow is automatically regulate by the flowkeeper so make sure the blue indicator is in the ideal range

For pools with 2 or more skimmers, leave the selected skimmer open and slowly close the other(s) until the blue indicator is in the ideal range.

For pools with a wall vacuum fitting, leave the vacuum fitting fully open and slowly close the skimmer valve until the blue indicator is in the ideal range

Keeping the hose under water, take off the pool pulse, submerge the cleaner head and attach after bubbles stop coming up from the extension pipe.

Your installation is now complete! For adjusting and troubleshooting please refer to your user’s manual.

For today’s project, were going to install the Pentair legend II, this specific unit does not require a booster pump so we will install it to our existing return line. So let’s get started…

First if you have an existing cleaner or wall fitting, take it out then turn on the filter pump to flush out the line for a minute and turn off the pump. Now remove the wall adapter from the wall fitting, next screw the adapter by hand to your dedicated return line. You should now be able to insert the the wall fitting (which is connected to the hose) into the wall adapter with a 1/4 turn which should be a snug fit. You can disconnect the same way.

Next we're going to check the pressure of the system to make sure we have adequate pressure to run the cleaner. Make sure the filter is clean before testing, and then connect the wall fitting with feeding hose to the wall adapter. For this next part you will need some ones help, so grab a friend and have them hold the pressure tester end of the hose underwater while you turn on the pump. With the line still underwater, have your assistant cover the large hole on the end of the line. Now you should go to the wall fitting and see if the pressure release valve it releasing water pressure, if so great, you have enough pressure. If not refer to the manual for help.

Now we’re going to get the hose to the proper length for our pool, out of the box the hose comes in 6 sections totaling 30 feet. To make your life easier you can roll out the hose and let it sit in the sun for 24 hours to let it relax but if not let’s keep moving. Attach the house to the wall adapter and gently pull the hose to the farthest point of the pool. If the hose reaches just to the furthest point without any excess, great we can move on but if it’s too long, you can mark it and cut it out of the first 6ft section closest to the wall. If you don’t have enough hose, refer to your manual for help.

Finally were ready to attach the cleaning unit! First remove the pressure tester from the end of the feeder hose by removing the nut; it’s a left hand nut so it turns the opposite way to loosen. Put the mender nut on the swivel mass and connect the feed hose to the mass and connect the mender nut and tighten. There should be no twist in the feeder hose after the connection. Now carefully twist lock the debris bag onto the top of the vacuum tube. Make sure there is a rubber debris valve is attached to the top of the Vacuum Tube before locking on the bag.

You can now gently place the Legend II in the pool and turn on your pump, you should check the wheel RPM to make sure it’s in-between 25-32. For help with this and other fine tuning tip please refer to page 5 of your manual.

Congratulations now you can sit back and enjoy your Legend II.

This installation of the Polaris 480 will be done using a pool with a dedicated return line with a 1-1/2” female fitting.

Before we get started, let’s flush out the return line by turning the pump on for a minute and then turn it off. Next, install the universal wall fitting (UWF), to do so, disconnect the UWF from the quick connect and screw it on to the fitting. Now re attach the quick disconnect by inserting it into UWF, turn clockwise and pull.

The next step involves adjusting the hose to the right length needed for your pool. With the hose connected to the pool at the return line, extend the hose out to the farthest point of the pool. The hose needs to reach within 6 inches longer or shorter of the farthest point. If the hose is too long, cut excess length from the first hose section and reconnect. If the hose is too short, you can purchase extensions by clicking here. After correct length is achieved, adjust the floats according to the diagram:

To assemble the cleaner, attach the feed hose connector to the feed pipe by pressing until it locks. The filter bag is packaged in the collar area of the vacuum tube, pull out the bag and attach the clasp to the loop on the top of the bag and secure the Velcro strips. We now need to turn on the filter pump to prime before turning on the booster pump.

That’s it for assembly but we need to check to make sure our wheels are spinning the proper RPM. The manual states the 480 needs to operate between 32 and 36 RPM. To check yours, mark one wheel tire then turn the pump on and count the revolutions for a minute. If your count is outside the 32 – 36 range, refer to your manual for help.

That’s all there is to it! Your Polaris 480 should now be up and running, we still recommend you refer to the manual for maintenance tips and fine tuning to ensure your pool is cleaned as efficiently as possible.

Our Polaris 380 will be installed in a pool with a dedicated return line with a 1-1/2” female fitting, which is what’s recommended for easiest install.

The first step is to flush out the return line by turning the pump on for a minute and then turn it off. Next, install the universal wall fitting (UWF), to do so, disconnect the UWF from the quick connect and screw it on to the fitting with the blue restrictor plate. Now re attach the quick disconnect by inserting it into UWF, turn clockwise and pull.

The next step involves adjusting the hose to the right length needed for your pool. First attach the leader hose to the feed hose. Now connect the feed hose end to the return line on the pool wall. Now, extend the hose out to the farthest point of the pool, the hose needs to reach within 6 inches longer or shorter of the farthest point. If the hose is too long, cut equal amounts from the 10ft sections in the feed hose. If the hose is too short, you can purchase extensions by clicking here. After correct length is achieved, adjust the floats according to the diagram:

Now we’re going to assemble the cleaner, first attach the feed hose to the feed pipe using the nut provided. Now pull out the bag and attach the bag collar to the feed hose. Next push the head float all the way in against the cleaner body. We now need to turn on the filter pump to prime before turning on the booster pump.

That’s it for assembly but we need to check to make sure our wheels are spinning the proper RPM. The manual states the 380 needs to operate between 28 and 32 RPM. To check yours, mark one wheel tire then turn the pump on and count the revolutions for a minute. If your count is outside the 28 – 32 range, refer to your manual for help.

You’re done! Your Polaris 380 should now be up and running, we still recommend you refer to the manual for maintenance tips and fine tuning to ensure your pool is cleaned as efficiently as possible.

The Zodiac Baracuda G4 swimming pool cleaner is easy to install on just about any pool, so let’s get started.

First were going to do some prep on the pool itself, we need to check to make sure there is nothing that can damage the pool liner (if installing in a vinyl pool) base or walls. Next, close the main drain to allow the flow to be controlled by the FlowKeeper. Now we need to vacuum the pool by hand so adjustments won’t have to be made later, also we need to clean the pool filter and skimmer/strainer baskets.

The pool return inlets need to be angled downward (this is crucial! Or your G4 will not move randomly through the pool). To adjust, loosen the lock ring and adjust the eyeball by hand to point downward, and then retighten the lock ring. If the eyeball is being stubborn, you can stick a screwdriver inside the eyeball and GENTLY pry downward to adjust. If you can’t adjust your inlets, then you must use Zodiac return line diverters.

Here is what your return inlets should be doing before adjusting:

And after:

Some pool return inlets have directional fittings or don’t have directional fittings, for these types we have the following options:

For Pools with return inlet directional fittings
	Replace the Directional eyeball with the zodiac retrofit eyeball return line diverter, and then reinstall the eyeball retaining ring You can find these items here: Part# W90153 for 1 ½” return lines Part# W90153 for 2” return lines

For Pools with return inlet directional fittings
	Replace the Directional eyeball with the zodiac retrofit eyeball return line diverter, and then reinstall the eyeball retaining ring You can find these items here: Part# W24100

Next were going to assemble the cleaning unit, to start slide the finned disc over the foot pad so that it fits into the grooves and rotates freely on the foot pad. The fins on the disc face upward.

We now need to install the wheel deflector; this is only used by some zodiac pool cleaners for proper performance. If your model includes one, slide the wheel over the extension pipe until the top clips of the wheel are seated in the groove and the wheel rotates freely.

To assemble the hose we need to determine if your skimmer/vacuum fitting is located at the corner or center of the pool. Note: you may not need to use all your hose sections or may need more depending on your pool size

For corner or end Pools

Use enough hose sections to reach the farthest point, plus 1 section.

For Center Pools

Use enough hose sections to reach the farthest point of the pool plus 2 sections

Next we need to balance the cleaner with a weight to make sure the cleaner sits level on the pool floor, to do this you need to reference your manual to find your model number and place the weight according to the chart below:

Model Number:
 

W83251 - Hose weight is not needed for this model, but to prevent the cleaner from climbing the walls excessively snap 1 weight onto the first section of hose about 3 feet from the cleaner head
W03000 – Snap 1 hose weight onto the middle of the first hose section, the weight should be about a foot and a half away from the cleaner head
W83215 & W83216 – Snap 2 hose weights onto the middle of the second section, the weights should be about 4 and a half feet away from the head

We need to remove the air from the hose, to do so turn your filter pump off, hold the cleaner head and hose underwater and attach the cleaner head to the female end of the hose. Now turn the pump on and fill the hose with water by placing the end over a return inlet.

Were almost done!

Now we need to attach the hose to our skimmer/vacuum line, to start we will explain how to install with a skimmer:

Using the parts below, choose a fitting combination that works best for your skimmer. Note: you may have parts left over. Then attach the hose protector net (C) to the hose section that sticks out of the skimmer. Now remove your skimmer basket and attach the Flowkeeper valve combination to the hose with the protector on it. You can now install into the skimmer as shown in example 1 or 2 and turn on the filter pump. Note: if you have multiple skimmers, use the skimmer that’s closest to the plumbing manifold.

For installing with a dedicated vacuum line, it’s even easier:

We don’t need the Flowkeeper valve, so insert the male end of the hose into the large end of the 45 degree elbow. Then insert the 45 elbow into the vacuum lock and angle the elbow toward the pool surface. That’s it.

Lastly we need to check the flow of water to make sure the cleaner will run properly, to do this we recommend you use 2 people so go grab a friend. 1 person should be at the plumbing manifold and the other should be pool side.

Once you’re in position, remove the cleaner head and attach the pool pulse to the end of the hose and keep it under water. Now turn the filter pump on, what we are going to be looking for is the blue indicator on the side of the pool pulse to be in the ideal range. This will differ depending on how many skimmers you have:

For pools with 1 skimmer, the flow is automatically regulate by the flowkeeper so make sure the blue indicator is in the ideal range

For pools with 2 or more skimmers, leave the selected skimmer open and slowly close the other(s) until the blue indicator is in the ideal range.

For pools with a wall vacuum fitting, leave the vacuum fitting fully open and slowly close the skimmer valve until the blue indicator is in the ideal range

Keeping the hose under water, take off the pool pulse, submerge the cleaner head and attach after bubbles stop coming up from the extension pipe.

Your installation is now complete! For adjusting and troubleshooting please refer to your user’s manual.
