HOW TO ASSEMBLE YOUR B-Vac™
A) Assemble the brush and poles to the cleaner
1. Align the curvature of brush with the cleaner head and insert the
brush into it securely. (Fig.1)
2. Select a sufficient number of the pole sections to suit your pool
size. Total length should allow both hands to grip during operation.
Assemble the pole sections by inserting the grooved end of one
section into the round end of the next one, finishing with the last
section that has the plastic grip. Slide together until grooved area
is fully inserted. (Fig.2)
3. Insert the grooved end of assembled poles into the main body
securely. (Fig.3)
ASSEMBLE THE HOSE TO THE MAIN BODY
Assemble the hose by connecting all hose sections with hose
connectors provided. (Fig.4)
It is recommended to do this under water to remove all entrapped air.
After assembling all hose sections, immerse the main body under
the water. When bubbles stop coming from the main unit, connect
the open end of the hose to the hose cuff of the body and slide on
as far as it can go. (Fig.5)
CONNECT THE B-Vac™ TO THE POOL OUTLET
WARNING! TURN OFF the pump before connecting B-Vac™
to the pool outlet.
1) If you have a surface wall skimmer: Take the open end of the
hose and connect it onto the vacuum plate of your skimmer.
Slide the hose as far as it can go and apply clamp (not included)
to secure it on the vacuum plate. (Fig.6)
2) If you have a wall skimmer, check your pool manual or pool dealer for instructions on how to remove the
skimmer weir. Place a skimmer vacuum plate (not included, check with your pool dealer for the correct
model with a cuff connection to fit a 32mm / 1¼in soft hose) over the skimmer filter basket. Connect
the open end of the hose to the vacuum plate cuff, and slide it on as far as it can go. (Fig.7)
IMPORTANT! Make sure the pool water level is over the vacuum plate, otherwise it will suck-in air during
operation.
NOTE:
The vacuum plate shown in (Fig.7) diagrams is for demonstration
only. Please contact your pool dealer for
the correct model. A vacuum plate with a 90 degree elbow is recommended.
3)
If you don’t have a wall skimmer: 5 connectors (G1/G2/G3/G4/G5)
are provided in the kit to fit the 9 most
common types of strainer
(see below) used in soft wall pools.
According to the strainer used in your pool,
select and attach the correct one to the strainer. Tighten by hand only.
NOTE:
For above ground pools with
2 pool water outlets, while connecting the cleaner to one of the water
outlets according to the cleaner instruction manual, follow pool instruction manual to block the other
water outlet.
For example, use pool plug to block the outlet or set the control valve (eg. plunger valve) if available
to the closed position. Otherwise, it will weaken the water flow inside the cleaner and then adversely
affect the cleaner performance such as capturing less debris.
WARNING! Turn off the pump before closing the water outlet.

HOW TO OPERATE YOUR B-Vac™
When your B-Vac™ is ready, turn your pump ON and start using B-Vac™ to clean the bottom of your pool.
Your B-Vac™ is made to vacuum debris from the bottom of your pool. The internal pre-filter bag is designed
to trap leaves and larger debris, which could otherwise clog the filter of your pool. Make sure to empty this
pre-filter bag regularly to ensure the maximum suction power.
NOTE: Never use your B-Vac™ without the pre-filter bag. Failure to do so may clog the filter of your pool.
IMPORTANT: Trapped air in your vacuum system may prevent the pump from operating correctly. In this
case, if your pump has a release valve, open it to let air escape until only water comes out from it and then
close the valve. Check pump manual how to remove the air.
HOW TO EMPTY THE PRE-FILTER BAG OF YOUR B-Vac™
WARNING! Turn off the pump before emptying the pre-filter bag.
1. Pull the edge (on back side) of cover to lift its tab (inside) from
the notch on the body, and then pull it down to totally release
the cover. (Fig.8)
2.
Pull out the pre-filter bag. Empty this bag by removing the
leaves
and other debris, and then rinse it. Rinse the cover
and make sure its suction hole is not clogged. (Fig.9)
3. Reverse the previous steps to assemble back the pre-filter
bag to the cover and then the cover to the body. Make sure
the tabs on cover inside (2 sides) are secured in the notch
of the body before next operation. (Fig.10)
