GETTING STARTED WITH DIRTBLASTER

Before assembling and installing Blue Wave Dirt Blaster™, the pool should be clean and algae-free so that it does not inhibit the traction of DirtBlaster. Work through this initial checklist to ensure optimal functioning of Blue Wave DirtBlaster:

1. Clean the pool, removing any debris that may inhibit DirtBlaster.

2. Backwash the filter or clean the filter element.

3. Clean out the skimmer basket and the pump's strainer basket.

4. Chemically balance the pool water.

5. Prime the vacuum hose by putting the end of the hose up to the pool’s return with the pump running. This will force water through the hose and purge out the air. Then keep the pump running until there are no air bubbles coming out of the end of the hose.

6. For pools with two suction lines (i.e., a main drain and skimmer or two skimmers) it is necessary to close off the suction line that is not being used for the cleaner. Do this by turning off the valve for the main drain, or use a skimmer bypass plate to restrict water flow.

7. Remove all obstructions from the pool—e.g., ladders, floats, toys, and other items—that could limit the ability of DirtBlaster to navigate the pool.

8. Never coil the hose when taking the cleaner out of the pool. Doing so may cause the hose to retain the coiled shape, which will hinder the cleaner’s performance.
