To increase the lifespan of the Zodiac G2™ and hose, you should: 1. Remove the Zodiac G2™ from the pool before Super Chlorinating and reinstall it a minimum of four hours later. 2. Always disconnect the hose from the skimmer or vacuum line before backwashing your filter. 3. Always store the hose straight.
16776 Zodiac G2 manual A5 2/12/08 12:57 PM Page 18 SECTION 1 – INSTALLATION AD FLOW VALVE The use of the Zodiac AD Flow Valve is recommended on pools with only one skimmer box/suction point, or when the filtration system needs to be used but the pool cleaner does not, such as when people are swimming in the pool. It regulates the flow of water to the pump through the pool cleaner. As the filter collects debris, the valve automatically maintains the correct flow to the cleaner.
