• Do not enter the pool while the cleaner is working.

• The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage to the external pump.



Speciﬁcations

• Wight – 4.5 kg / 9.9lb

• Hose length – 10 Hoses of 1.17m / 3.83ft

• Required water ﬂow – 5-8m



Water conditions

• Chlorine – Max 4ppm

• pH – 7.0-7.8

• NaCl – Max – 5000ppm

• Temperature – 6-34°C / 43-93°F

NOTE:

An optional Leaf Canister is also available for purchase from your supplier.

The Leaf Canister traps leaves and other large debris, preventing blockage of the

pool ﬁlter system. For maximum energy, backwash savings and environmentally

friendly operation, we recommend using the Leaf Canister.



Pool Preparation

To prepare the pool for cleaning:

Remove any large

objects that might

interfere with the

cleaner’s operation.

Make sure that the

water level reaches

the skimmers.

Backwash the pool

ﬁlter and make sure

that suction pressure

is sufﬁcient, as

recommended by the pump manufacturer.



Setup

Connect the Hose

The Hybrid Cleaner connects to the pump of your pool, either by a built-in dedicated suction line or

through one of the pool skimmers.

Connect the Hose Sections in the pool under water.

Switch the pool pump OFF.

Insert the ﬂexible Skimmer Adapter (only if needed) into the suction line opening and make sure

to connect the Automatic Safety Valve. (Allows water ﬂow into the pump in case the Cleaner is

blocked by a forgien object).

4Hybrid - Robotic Suction Pool Cleaner |Operating Instructions

If connecting to a

skimmer, choose

the skimmer located

closest to the center

of the longest pool

wall.

Remove the skimmer

basket and push the

male end of a Hose

Section into the

Safety Valve, using a

twisting motion.

If using a shallow skimmer, connect the 90° Adapter to the automatic Safety Valve before

connecting the Hose Section to ensure proper suction ﬂow

(Drawing C).

Continue connecting additional sections until the hose is long enough to reach from its pool

connection to the most distant edge of the pool, plus two extra sections.

Make sure to add the Float 40 cm (1.30 Ft) above the Hybrid Cleaner on the last Hose Section

(Drawing F).

Install the optional Leaf Canister between the ﬁrst and second Hose Sections under water, as

well.

CAUTION

Air trapped in the hose can damage your pump!

Check Flow

The Hybrid Cleaner operates on the suction power of the pool system. Satisfactory ﬂow is important

to ensure proper cleaning and to prevent damage to the Hybrid Cleaner.

NOTE:

Make sure to stop operation of the pool drain while the Hybrid Cleaner

is working.

To make sure that ﬂow is satisfactory:

Completely immerse the hose in the

water and remove any trapped air.

Connect the Flow Indicator to the free

end of the hose, under water level.

Switch the pool pump ON.

Check the Flow Indicator (Drawing D).

Make sure that the indicator is between

MIN. and MAX. If the indicator is

not in the satisfactory range, there

may be air trapped in the hose. Wait

approximately two minutes while the

pump continues to operate to remove

any trapped air.

If the indicator remains outside the

satisfactory range, correct unsatisfactory ﬂow according to the instructions in the following table.

After each action, check ﬂow with the Flow Indicator. If ﬂow is still unsatisfactory, proceed to the

next action.

In satisfactory range

Connect the Hybrid Cleaner and begin the cleaning process.

Below MIN.

To correct the ﬂow do one or more of the following:

• Make sure that the water level of the pool reaches the skimmer.

• Check that the hose is not twisted or bent near the pool connection.

If it is, use the 90° Adapter.

• Close unused skimmers or main drain. Make sure that the skimmer used

for the Hybrid Cleaner is fully opened.

• Remove trapped air from the hose and Hybrid Cleaner.

• Tighten connections between Hose Sections.

• Backwash the main ﬁlter and clean the skimmer and pump basket.

Above MAX.

• Open unused skimmers partially (if closed).

• If the Hybrid Cleaner is connected to a dedicated suction line, adjust its

control valve on the pool pump.

• If the Hybrid Cleaner is connected to a skimmer, reduce the suction on

the pool pump.

Connect the Hybrid Cleaner

Make sure that the pool pump is switched OFF.

Disconnect the Flow Indicator (Drawing E).

Make sure the Float is connected on the hose 40 cm

(1.30 ft) above the Hybrid Cleaner.

Make sure that the hose is entirely under the water level

and is ﬁlled with water.

Hold the Hybrid Cleaner by the handle and put it in the

water. Turn the Hybrid Cleaner upside down to remove

any trapped air.

Connect the hose end to the Hybrid Cleaner

(Drawing F). Make sure that the hose is ﬁrmly

connected. Ensure that there is a small space between

the locknut and the pipe.

Realese the Hybrid Cleaner in the pool.

Restart the pump

Cleaning Process

The Hybrid Cleaner continues to clean

your pool as long as the pool pump is operating.

The time required to cover all pool surfaces depends

on the pool size. In general, 1-2 hours are sufﬁcient.

During operation, refer to the indicator lights

(Drawing G) on the cleaner to make sure that the

Hybrid Cleaner is functioning properly

(see table below).

Cleaner handle and remove

the Hybrid Cleaner from the

pool (Drawing J).

CAUTION

Remove the Hybrid Cleaner from the pool only by its handle!

Store the Hybrid Cleaner and Hose Sections out of

direct sunlight. Do not store the Hybrid Cleaner where

it will be exposed to excessive heat or frost. Make sure

that Hose Sections are in a straight position (Drawing K).

For longer life of the equipment, it is recommended to

rinse the

Hybrid Cleaner

and parts with tap water.

Reopen all skimmers.



Troubleshooting

The Hybrid Cleaner is designed to operate with a minimum of user maintenance.

If a problem does occur, try to determine the cause. Often, the solution is already part of the

standard operating instructions in this booklet. If you cannot solve the problem easily, contact your

supplier.
