Zodiac Automatic Pool Cleaners require a specific number of hose weights to compensate for the buoyancy of the hose depending
on the cleaner model. A properly balanced pool cleaner hose will create a 45-degree angle from the cleaner head and the bottom of
the pool as shown below.

• Turn the filtration system off.
• Attach the cleaner head to the female end of the hose.
