Your Zodiac T5 Suction Cleaner can be installed into your pool two different ways: into a dedicated suction line; or directly through your pool's skimmer;. This guide will show you how to install and operate your Zodiac T5 Suction Cleaner through your pool's skimmer. For instructions on installing through a suction line, see our guide on "How To Set Up the Zodiac T5 Suction Cleaner Through Your Suction Liner".

When I put the valve in skimmer, what should the filter be on. ?Reply

If you mean what setting the filter's multiport or slide valve should be on, the setting shouldn't matter.Reply

Should I close main drain when in useReply
InyoPools Product Specialist Matt S. Posted: 7/21/2021
If your cleaner doesn't have enough suction power, closing the main drain will help that.Reply

Steve - It sounds like your system is building up back pressure in the top of your filter tank. If your filter has an air breather going up the center of your filter tank, make sure that tube is not clogged. Then check for air suction leaks that let air into your filter. See our guide on "How to Identify and Correct Air Leaks".Reply

Jamie - The flow keeper cuff is designed to fit most skimmer suction ports but you may have one of the exceptions. You may have to buy an adaptor/ reducer fitting at a local HW store to jerry rig a fit.Reply

The flow keeper cuff doesn't seem to fit in my skimmer suction port.Reply

soflomom - There is a red tab that is used to open the valve and stop the Cleaner. Make sure it is in the right position to close the valve.Reply

My flow keeper valve seems to get sucked into the "open position." If I manually close the cleaner starts moving; when I let go, the valve opens and cleaner stops moving. what went wrong?Reply

Any idea why the pool Cleaner stays in the deep end 90% of the time.Reply
InyoPools Product Specialist Matt S. Posted: 8/7/2019
The cleaner may not be able to get out of the deep end, is the footpad or disc needs replacing. The pump's flowrate may be compromised if your pump strainer basket is full or your filter is dirty.Reply
