The provided document is an owner's manual for the Sta-Rite PoolShark® Vacuum, an automatic pool cleaner.
The Sta-Rite PoolShark® Vacuum is an automatic pool cleaner designed to clean swimming pools by removing debris from the pool floor. It operates by connecting to the pool's filtration system, utilizing the suction created by the main circulation pump to move across the pool and vacuum up debris. The cleaner is intended to provide thorough cleaning within approximately 4-6 hours, depending on pool size. It is not designed for initial cleanup of new pools, opening pools for the season, or cleaning steps, swimouts, or under solar covers.
The manual provides a parts list for two models: GW7500 and GW7700, indicating that the PoolShark® is available in at least these two variants. While specific performance metrics like flow rate or cleaning speed are not detailed, the manual emphasizes proper suction adjustment for optimal operation, suggesting that the cleaner's effectiveness is directly tied to the pool's pump and filtration system performance.
Key components listed in the repair parts list include:
Parts not available separately include the Outer Housing, Support Brace, and Stainless Steel Axle.
The manual also highlights the importance of the Regulator Valve (available in two types, #1 for stronger pumps/shorter hoses and #2 for weaker pumps/longer hoses) for controlling suction and ensuring proper cleaner movement. The Hose Weights are used to ensure the cleaner head remains submerged and the hose is properly positioned. Eyeball Diverters are provided to adjust return line water flow, preventing the cleaner from getting stuck in one area.
The PoolShark® can be installed in both standard skimmer setups and dedicated vacuum line (vac port) installations.
