Quick Tips
- Place the plate over the skimmer basket once the pump is running and the hose is primed.
- Ensure the vacuum hose is filled with water before connecting to prevent air locks in the pump.
- After vacuuming, remove the plate and empty the skimmer basket immediately.
- Inspect the gasket or seal regularly for cracks to ensure consistent suction.

PRO TIP
Before attaching the vacuum plate, hold the end of the vacuum hose against a return jet until all air bubbles stop coming out of the vacuum head; this "priming" ensures your pump won't lose prime when you connect the plate.
Always follow label directions and safety guidance. Keep pool chemicals and accessories stored safely and out of reach of children.
