INSTALLATION
Calculang Cleaner Speed/RPM
To determine whether the BLUEFURY
®
LITE Pressure Side Pool Cleaner is receiving the proper water pressure:
1. Turn o the pool pump, and carefully remove the cleaner from the pool.
2. Mark the front re/wheel with a marker, such as a blade of grass stuck under the re.
3. Have someone restart the pool pump and booster pump while you place the cleaner just beneath the pool’s water surface.
Note: Be sure to hold onto the sweep hose to avoid geng wet, as ow will return to the sweep hose when the pump is
restarted.
4. Count the number of full rotaons made by the marked wheel over a period of one minute. The number of rotaons will give
you the revoluons per minute; or RPM’s.
Note: Be sure that the back-up valve isn’t cycling at this me.
5. For proper performance, the BLUEFURY LITE cleaner operates between 35 - 42 RPMs.
If the RPM is below 35, call your local Pool Professional or contact Pentair’s Technical Support Department.
If the RPM is higher than 42, adjust the valve at the wall ng, as described under “Adjusng Water Flow to the Cleaner” on
page 8, unl the RPMs fall back under 42 RPM.
Installing the Wall Fing and Adapter
1. Remove and disconnect any exisng pool cleaner and/or
wall ng.
2. Switch on the ltraon pump and booster pump, to ush
out the plumbing line.
3. Switch o lter pump and booster pump.
4. If using a wall ng adapter produced by a
manufacturer other than Pentair, ensure that the red or
blue ow restrictor plate is removed from the from the
wall ng adapter before connuing to next step.
The restrictor plate can be easily removed by pressing it
out with your thumbs (See Figure 1).
Note: Failure to remove the ow restrictor plate from a
non-Pentair wall ng adapter will prevent the cleaner
from receiving enough water ow. This will lead to a slow
cleaner and longer cleaning cycles.
5. Insert wall ng adapter into the dedicated 1-1/2” NPT
threaded return line. Hand ghten unl snug. See Figure
2.
6. Align wall ng with the quick lock pegs inside the wall
adapter. Push the wall ng into the wall adapter unl
it booms out. Twist 1/4 turn clockwise to lock the wall
ng. Pull gently outward to engage quick lock pegs.
See Figure 2.
