General Information

2A. Introduction

The Jandy Ray-Vac®automatic pool cleaner is designed to both vacuum and sweep your swimming pool. The cleaner head moves in a random submerged pattern about the pool, traveling, vacuuming and cleaning from the pool floor to the water line. Its pattern is determined by the shape of the pool, the hydrodynamics of the cleaner design, adjustments of the water pressure, and the forward and backward motion created by the patented backup jet system.

The pool cleaner, by the use of its large suction mouth, will vacuum dirt, leaves, and debris and store it in its own chamber located in the cleaner head. In addition, its drive jets are angled slightly downward creating a powerful jet action to sweep any small debris down to the main drain where it is removed by the filter system.

In most typical residential pools, the pool cleaner will eliminate 90% or more of the manual labor involved in cleaning the pool. Because many of the factors present in a swimming pool, such as shape of the pool, location of the return lines, mounting point of the cleaner, etc., there may be small areas where dirt tends to collect. Usually, these areas are small and are considered normal.
