Waterway Plastics 810-0740 Socket Renegade Gunite Skimmer User Manual

NORMAL OPERATION
Water passes over the weir door, down through the basket and float valve assembly to the pump. The trimmer plate on the float valve assembly or the diverter plate are both open.

ADJUSTING THE SKIMMER FLOW
If the skimmer flow is too fast due to excessive flow rate from the pump, either rotate the float valve trimmer plate or the diverter plate over the port to the pump until required flow is achieved.

VACUUM/BRUSHING THE POOL
To vacuum the pool, first remove the float valve, then close the diverter plate over the main drain. Install the vacuum plate above the basket and connect the vacuum hose to the vacuum plate to proceed with the brushing operation.

MULTIPLE SKIMMERS
Rotate the diverter plate at the bottom of the skimmer over the pump port to restrict the flow and balance the flow from each skimmer.

LOW WATER LEVELS
When the water level drops below the weir door, water will no longer flow from the pool through the upper part of the skimmer. The pump will evacuate the remaining water from the skimmer causing the float valve to close and water will flow from the main drain only, or until the water level is increased. The same can occur when and if the basket gets filled with leaves and debris.

SKIMMER INSTALLATION

For the Skimmer to work most effectively, it must be positioned pertinent to the prevailing wind and drift, the pool shape, and the water circulation pattern. The function of directional inlet fittings will ensure the appropriate circulation pattern. See diagrams

Alternate 2 ½” Pipe Installation For Better Flow

SKIMMER WITH DIVERTER PLATE

FLOW ADJUSTMENT
For full follow, slide the diverter plate until it is fully open. To adjust flow, slide diverter
plate to desired position over pump outlet.

TO VACUUM
Remove the cover and the basket. Screw the hose adapter into the pump outlet. Fill the vacuum hose with water and insert over the hose adapter.

SKIMMER WITH FLOAT VALVE (OPTIONAL)

When using the Float Valve Assembly, water is drawn by the suction of the pump from the surface of the pool and the main drain line. The flow is balanced by the diverter plate located under the Float Valve Assembly. If obstruction or evaporation occurs, causing a significant reduction of flow over the weir, the float will automatically snap shut. This diverts all flow to the pump from the main drain line ad prevents possible air lock. When the pump is shut off or water level condition has been remedied, the float will rise back to the top of the assembly, allowing for normal operation of the flow.

TO SWEEP/BRUSH
To divert all suction of the main drain, simply hold the wire above the normal operation level and allow the float to snap shut. Or lift the Float Valve Assembly out, close the diverter plate and replace. To reset float after sweeping, turn off pump for about 10-15 seconds and allows the float to rise back up.

TO VACUUM
Remove the cover, basket, and the Float Valve Assembly. Screw the hose adapter into the pump outlet. Fill the vacuum hose with water and insert over the hose adapter.
