CARE AND MAINTENANCE
However good an automatic pool cleaner is, remember that it was developed to assist
you with the maintenance of your swimming pool. To maintain quality performance
and increase the lifespan of your Baracuda Alpha 3
™
, please do the following:
❑ The skimmer basket, pump strainer basket and pool filter should be thoroughly
cleaned on a regular basis to ensure optimum pool cleaner efficiency. Always
disconnect the hose from the skimmer before backwashing.
❑ NEVER COIL THE HOSE when the cleaner is removed from the pool. Hose
memory will influence coverage. A coiled hose can be straightened with hot water
or by laying it in the sun on the pool deck for a few hours.
❑ REMOVE THE BARACUDA ALPHA 3 BEFORE SUPER CHLORINATING.
If you should develop an algae problem or a chemical imbalance problem, remove
the Baracuda Alpha 3 and follow the advice of a qualified pool professional.
Reinstall the cleaner when the imbalance is corrected or after a minimum of 4
hours from super chlorinating.
❑ Periodically inspect the cleaner for signs of wear. The disc and the footpad are the
most critical. When the depth of the channels between the treads of the footpad
are 1/8" or less, replace the footpad.
