1505 G2 Manual.qxp 26/9/11 8:19 AM Page 9 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.

The buoyancy of the hose tends to LIFT the Zodiac G2™ especially in deeper water. The hose weight is provided to help neutralise the buoyant effect of the hose.
