Cleaner Adjustments And Operation; Hose Length - Pentair KREEPY KRAULY BLUEREBEL Guia De Instalacion

Adjusting Flow to the Cleaner With the Flow Gauge
1. Turn the pool pump off.
2. Disconnect the BLUEREBEL™ Suction Side Cleaner from the leader hose and
connect the flow gauge.
Note: Make sure the hose remains submerged to prevent suction of air.
3. Turn the pump on.
4. Turn the regulator valve adjustment knob clockwise to increase flow or
counterclockwise to decrease flow, until the disc indicator in the flow gauge settles
between "Maximum" and "Minimum" flow. See Figure 11.
5. Turn the pool pump off and remove the flow gauge and reconnect the cleaner.
6. Lower the cleaner in to the pool and allow it to drop to the pool floor.
7. Turn the pool pump on.
Calculating Cleaner Speed (RPM) Without the Flow Gauge
If you do not have the flow gauge originally included with your cleaner, following the steps below will allow you to
calculate the cleaner speed and adjust RPM as needed.
1. While the cleaner is running, bring the cleaner up to just beneath the pool's water surface.
Note: Be sure to keep the cleaner submerged while the pump is operating. This prevents the cleaner from pulling air
into the pool system.
2. Count the number of full rotations made by the wheel over a period of one minute. The number of rotations will give
you the revolutions per minute; or RPM's. An easy way to be sure you are counting full rotations is by counting the
number of times the wheel hump passes by the swivel assembly.
3. For proper performance, the BLUEREBEL cleaner operates between 11-13 RPM.
If the RPM is below 11 adjust the regulator valve (rotate adjustment knob clockwise) and repeat steps 1-2 until the
RPM falls back into the optimal range.
If the RPM is higher than 13 adjust the regulator valve (rotate adjustment knob counterclockwise) and repeat steps
1-2 until the RPM falls back into the optimal range.

CLEANER ADJUSTMENTS AND OPERATION

After installation, turn the pool pump on. The BLUEREBEL™ Suction Side Pool Cleaner should be moving about the pool at
a rate of 2.5 to 3.6 meter per minute. Be sure to check each of the following initial adjustments.

Hose Length

Note: The pump must be on when you check the
hose length. The hose contracts when the pump is
operating and will be longer when the pump is off.
While the cleaner is operating:
1. Position cleaner at the furthest point of the pool
from where it's attached. Use a pool pole and
brush to easily position the cleaner in the pool.
2. The hose should be long enough to reach the end
of the pool, plus one hose section and the leader
hose. See Figure 12.
3. Remove any excess hose lengths from the middle
of the hose assembly. This will ensure you do not
alter the position of the hose float.
4. Save extra hose sections for use as needed for
replacement.
Note: Turn pool pump off when adding or
removing hose sections.
