STEP 3: Assembling the Hoses
1. Always insert the male hose
cuff into the female cuff. Hoses
must connect fairly tightly. The
ideal length of hose is from the
weir to the furthest point of
the pool plus one extra section
of hose. If the weir is opposite
the steps, use lowest step as
furthest point (See Diagram 3
and 4). To ensure the best
performance from your
ZODIAC G4, please ensure
only genuine ZODIAC long life
hoses are used.
2. Attach your ZODIAC G4 to the male end (smaller side) of the assembled
hose.
3. Fit the Hose Protection Mesh over the cuff of the hose to help prevent the
hose from wearing at the weir. Position the protection mesh so that ±10 cm
is exposed outside the weir.
4. Bleed all the air from the hose by placing one end over the return jet – thus
filling the hose length with water.
5. Keeping the hose-ends underwater, move it from the return line to the weir
and connect the female cuff directly to the Auto Weir Valve or utilize the 90°
Valve Elbow, depending on your weir configuration (See Diagram 5).
6. Ensure that the Auto Weir Valve is firmly attached to the weir vacum lid .
