USE WITH SUCTION CLEANERS
When connecting a suction cleaner to the Jacuzzi® JVX160 or JVX300 Pool Pump, it essential that full prime is
achieved on the pump prior to connecting the cleaner hose. During operation at low speeds, the pump may only
operate with partial prime in the hair and lint pot chamber.
To operate a suction cleaner on your pump;
1. Choose the speed button (low, medium or high) on which the pump will operate when the suction
cleaner is connected.
2. Allow pump to operate for a minimum of 2 minutes to allow a full prime to be achieved.
3. Connect cleaner plate and hose to skimmer/wall suction only after all air has been purged from the top
of the hair and lint pot of your Jacuzzi® JVX160 or JVX300 Pool Pump.
4. Adjust speed (with increase or decrease buttons) at which the cleaner will travel to all areas of the pool.
Factory set medium speed will usually operate all suction cleaner types in most pools. If using the Low
Speed setting, it will usually be necessary to increase the low speed to ensure the suction cleaner
operates reliably.
5. When cleaner is no longer required, disconnect and remove hose/cleaner plate from system. Select the
lowest filtration speed that keeps your pool clean.
6. If replacing or selecting a new cleaner, Jacuzzi® recommend Robotic Range of Cleaners which operate
independently from the filter pump and allows the pump to operate at a speed which offers the
maximum energy (and cost) savings.
