Optional Vacuum Line Installation
Vacuum Line Installation with Regulator Valve in
Skimmer.
We highly recommend the use of the regulator
valve to balance water flow between the Rebel™
Suction Side Pool Cleaner and the skimmer. Install
the regulator valve in the skimmer when attaching
the cleaner to a dedicated vacuum line.
1. Turn the pool pump off.
2. Close the main drain and all suction lines, except the lines from the skimmer and the suction line to which
the cleaner will be connected.
3. Thread the snap-lock wall fitting into the end of the
dedicated suction line.
Note: Use two wraps of thread seal tape around the
threads to ensure easy removal.
4. Place the cleaner (with the hose attached) into the
pool. Turn it side to side and front to back to release
any trapped air, allowing the cleaner to sink to the
floor of the pool. Continue to feed the hose vertically
down into the pool until it is completely filled with
water and purged of air.
Note: If air is pulled into the pool plumbing it may
cause your pump to lose prime.
5. Insert the male hose end of the last hose section
directly into the snap-lock wall fitting. See Figure 8.
6. Thread the compression adapter into the vacuum
connection in the bottom of the skimmer.
7. To prevent water from flowing through the top of the
regulator valve, fasten the valve cap onto the top of
the valve (See Figure 9). This activates the regulator
valve and assures that an accurate amount of water
(25 GPM) will flow through the vacuum line and the
cleaner. Without the valve cap, the regulator valve and
the cleaner will not function properly. See Figure 10.
8. Press the regulator valve into the compression
adapter.
After completing the installation, turn the pool pump
on. Allow the pump to run for a couple of minutes to
be sure all air cycles out of the system.
