MX™6 is a Trade Mark of ZODIAC Pool Care South Africa (Pty) Ltd.

Specifications and equipment are subject to change without prior notice.

While the MX™6 is designed for easy installation,

some preliminary steps will assist the installation process.

Where possible, assembly should take place as close to the weir

as possible.

PREPARING YOUR POOL AND FILTRATION SYSTEM

1) Empty the weir basket.

2) Clean the pump basket.

3) Backwash and rinse the filter until the sight glass is clear.

4) Adjust all return jets (whether your pool has one, two or more) to

point downwards and towards the center of the pool so that you DO

NOT see a circular water ow or ripples on the surface of your pool.

5) Ensure your water chemistry is correct. See page 11 or below for

more on this.

* When using chemicals, always follow manufacturer’s directions and follow the advice of your

pool professional. Always use protective clothing, gloves and glasses. Store and use chemicals

out of the reach of children.

1. The hose oat is already fitted on

one of the hoses, connect this length

of hose to the Flow Regulator Valve

and twist until it locks into place.

2. Insert the second length of hose into the pool vertically in order to fill it

with water. Insert the male cuff of the rst hose length into the female cuff

of the second hose length, and twist until the two lock together. The hoses

must connect fairly tightly. Continue attaching hose lengths until you reach

the required length of your pool, submerging each hose length as you go.

3. Required hose length: use enough

hose to reach the furthest point

of the pool plus add another section

as shown in the diagram. (Step 3)

4. Connect your cleaner to this

length of hose by pushing the

Flow Regulator Valve onto the

cleaner swivel. When you hear a

click, it is securely connected.

Now submerge your cleaner by

filling it with water ensuring all

trapped air has escaped.

Before connecting to the weir

ensure that all the hoses are filled

with water and all the air has

been expelled.

ASSEMBLING THE HOSES

With your swimming pool preparation complete, you are ready to

begin installation.

WARNING: To avoid severe injury, make sure to turn off the

pool pump prior to completing these steps.

SECTION 1 – INSTALLATION

ASSEMBLING THE WEIR FITTINGS

With your hose lengths and cleaner connected, add the hose protector to

the last hose which will be connected to the weir.

1. Place the hose into one half of the Hose Protector.

2 . Place the other half of the Hose Protector over the hose ensuring that

the clips line up.

3 . Apply pressure to both halves of the Hose Protector until both halves

clip into place.

POSITIONING THE WEIR FITTINGS

The ideal position to t the Hose Protector is directly after the hose cuff.

Note:If the hose is connected directly to the Auto Weir Valve (not

advised), position the Hose Protector approximately 10cm from the

hose cuff.

Now connect this hose to the 90º Elbow and Auto Weir Valve as shown

in Figure 1. Plug the Auto Weir Valve and hose into the weir. Your cleaner

should begin cleaning your pool.
