Installation & Compatibility Notes
Before installation, turn off the pool pump and relieve system suction. Remove the existing regulator valve (if present) and inspect the hose and skimmer connection areas.

Monitor the pool cleaner movement to verify correct operation after startup.
Maintenance Tips
- Check the valve periodically for signs of wear, cracking or improper seating which can cause slower cleaner travel.
- If the cleaner is oscillating too slowly or skipping, inspect this regulator as part of the diagnostic process.
- Ensure the hose connection remains secure and free of kinks or restrictions to maintain proper suction flow.
