FLOWKEEPER™ VALVE

The pool pump provides more gallon per minute flow than your Zodiac 1500

requires. That's why we provide a way to regulate the flow. The FlowKeeper Valve is self adjusting and provides a by-pass, so that the pool pump and the Zodiac 1500 run properly. The FlowKeeper Valve MUST BE used.

Skimming action is maintained through a bypass throat in the valve. As the filter collects debris, the valve automatically maintains the correct flow to the cleaner. The FlowKeeper valve comes preset at the two (2) setting. The lower the number, the lower the flow to the cleaner head. Should readjustment become necessary, pull the adjustment handle to raise or lower the setting. There are three total setting options.

To adjust setting, pull and move to desired setting.
