SECTION 1 – INSTALLATION

It is much easier to assemble your new Zodiac G2TM automatic pool cleaner beside

the skimmer box of your pool.

PREPARE POOL AND FILTRATION SYSTEM

Step 1: Where the main drain is connected to your skimmer box, block off the

access to the main drain.

Step 2: Manually vacuum your pool.

Step 3: Clean the filter and empty the skimmer basket(s) and the pump strainer

basket according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Note: The circulation system must be operating at its maximum water flow when

you install the Zodiac G2™ otherwise re-adjustment will be necessary

when you clean the filter and baskets.

Step 4: Adjust the water flow from all return inlets (a) downward and toward each

other (or b. downward and toward the centre of the pool).

All diagrams are provided for reference

and for terminology used throughout this

manual. Your pool may vary.

GENERAL POOL

SCHEMATIC

(A)

(B)

Note: If no return inlet directional fittings exist, or directionals cannot be directed far enough

down to prevent water flow from affecting the natural movement of the Zodiac hose, you

must install Zodiac return line diverters.They are available through your Zodiac dealer.

FOR POOLS WITH RETURN INLET EYEBALLS, TURN EYEBALL DOWN

SECTION 1 – INSTALLATION

ZODIAC G2™ INSTALLATION

1) Firmly push the wheel deflector (part # 5) onto the outer extension pipe

(connected to cleaner head) until it clicks into place just above the yellow hand

nut, on the machine head.

2) Firmly push the pink leader hose adaptor (part # 7) onto the end of the outer

extension pipe. Submerge cleaner head to remove all air.

3) Select a hose length and clip the hose weight (part # 4) onto the end that does

not have the Baracuda stamp. This will be your first hose length.

4) Attach the end of the first hose length with the Baracuda stamp, to the pink leader

hose adaptor, on the end of the outer extension pipe.

5) Continue attaching hose lengths until you reach the required length for your pool,

submerging each length as you go.

6) Fit hose protector mesh (part # 2) to the end of the last length of hose, which will

be the section coming out of the skimmer box.

7) Before connecting hose to the fittings in the skimmer box it is essential

that all air is removed from the cleaner head and hose.

7a) For pools with more than one skimmer box; close off all suction points

except for the one the cleaner will be operating from. This provides the

cleaner with maximum suction.

The hose is now ready to be attached to the fittings in the skimmer box.

SECTION 1 – INSTALLATION

AD FLOW VALVE

The use of the Zodiac AD Flow Valve is recommended on pools with only one

skimmer box/suction point, or when the filtration system needs to be used but the

pool cleaner does not, such as when people are swimming in the pool. It regulates

the flow of water to the pump through the pool cleaner.As the filter collects

debris, the valve automatically maintains the correct flow to the cleaner. For

installation of the AD Flow Valve see below:

For connection of the AD Flow Connector into a non standard skimmer plate see below:

Waterco Skimmer Box = Screw in the AD Flow Valve connector from the top of the skimmer plate.

Poolrite Skimmer Box = Screw in the AD Flow Valve connector from the bottom of the skimmer plate.

Pool Rite Skimmer Plate Waterco Skimmer Plate

The AD Flow Valve comes preset at a factory setting of 2 to obtain maximum pool

cleaning efficiency. If your water flow requires a higher or lower setting, you can

adjust the valve to one of three settings: High (Setting 3), Medium (Setting 2) or

Low (Setting 1).

You will only need to adjust the AD Flow Valve when the following occurs:

AD Flow Valve

Connector

STEP 1: Screw the AD Flow Valve

Connector into the Vacuum

Plate or use Weir Cuff.

STEP 2: Insert the AD Flow Valve

into the AD Flow Valve

Connector.

STEP 3: Connect the AD Flow Valve

into the hose.

PROBLEM

The Zodiac Pool Cleaner is performing too fast

and/or climbing above the level of the water. Reduce AD Flow Valve to Setting 1

The Zodiac Pool Cleaner is performing slowly

and/or is not climbing the pool walls. Increase AD Flow Valve to Setting 3

SOLUTION

DESCRIPTION

1.AD Flow Valve

2. Universal Weir Cuff

3. Hose Protector Mesh

If you do not have a Waterco or Poolrite Skimmer Plate then insert the AD Flow Valve into the Weir Cuff.

ADJUSTMENT SUGGESTIONS

CORRECT BALANCING

Proper balancing must be accomplished in the DEEPEST area of the pool. The buoyancy

of the hose tends to LIFT the Zodiac G2™ especially in deeper water. The hose weight

is provided to help neutralise the buoyant effect of the hose.

POOL COVERAGE

Normally it is undesirable for the return line water flow to affect the natural

movement of your ZODIAC hose. However, the return line pressure can

be used to balance cleaning coverage or to guide the cleaner away from steps

and corners.

A return line located anywhere along the shaded area can be utilised to gently push the

hose, allowing your Zodiac G2™ to free itself from in-pool obstacles (Diagram 2).
