Make sure you fill the return line with water. Then go through the skimmer.

First turn off pump. Then attach hose to cleaner and hold cleaner under water till the bubbles are released throught the side of the cleaner. Next submerge the cleaner and allow it to sink to the bottom of the pool. Hold the hose vertically and push it under water untill you reach the end of the hose. Water should start running out of the hose end. Now the hose should be pushed onto the suction outlet making sure to not raise the hose end above the pool suface. Now you can start the pump and after a short time the cleaner will start to move.

Kristy, Hi. Make sure that your filter is clean and that the hose is not taking in air. With the pump on put the hose to the outlet jet on the side of the pool to push the air and water through the hose making sure both ends remain under water, when all air is released, then have your husband or friend shuts down the pump, attach to wanda and the other end to skimmer without letting in air. You can also purchase a air flow for your filter if that doesn't work but this works great for us. She even goes up our walls and cleans. Hope this helps.

The best way to do that is to keep the pump in the on position plug it into an outlet that is on a switch so then you can just turn the switch on to activate the pump

The plastic "filter" on the unit pops off, and there is a round fitting on the pump where you can attach a connector to a separate filter unit. That's how I set mine up.

Just push down on the coupler sleeve to disconnect. no need to drain the tank

First, only fill half way so there is enough air space in the container to hold some air pressure. Pump a few times until the pressure on pump is firm but not tight. Second, hold closer to pan.

I purchased an inexpensive pump that you plug in. Otherwise.....you will probably pass out trying to blow it up yourself!

I use a quick disconnect. I have had this model of pump for 2-3 years now. I live full time in my RV and it does a good job for me. Amazon's guarantee is great.

Typically you can just stick your hose into your water source and pull the handle backwards and forwards until the water comes out. If that doesnt work you can get some water in the tube and blow the water into the pumps housing. This helps actually get water into the body of the pump if it wont pickup the water from its source. You have to understand that you need to allow your water source to not be sealed up otherwise your container of water will create a vacum as you are pumping something out and do not introduce air. If your water source is sealed it will need venting to stop the vacum. I used mine as a portable beer pump.

Put it on the valve while the lever is in the down position. Pulling it up is what locks in place. Took me a minute to figure that out as it's opposite to every other pump out there.

We used an old pump from another bed one time. We had to hold it more to keep it from coming loose.

attach garden hose to pump - plug in pump - submerge in water - pump water out through hose

you should have a check valve in the discharge line as close to the pump as possible!

First try pump alone in pan of water.even on lo some water should flow thru. There is a dial on side of pump minus to plus. Turn it to plus for maximum flow rate. If nothing comes out it probably is defective It should move one half inch tube of water around one foot up

Leave the handle on. Makes it easier to lift out. Note: Lift this out with the pump on.

You prime it by pumping several times. Hold a cup underneath. It is generally recommended to put it half way in, pump until primed, then put I the rest of the way and screw it on.
