General Installation Information
Pre-installation check list
Before installing the cleaner in a vinyl liner pool:
Check liner closely for signs of deterioration or damage from age, chemicals, pool wall damage, etc. If any
damage is found, have a qualified pool professional make all necessary repairs. Also, if there are stones, roots,
etc., under the liner, remove them before installing the cleaner.
Before installing the cleaner in a gunite pool or a pool that is partially or completely tiled:
Repair loose tiles and tighten any loose light rings.
Before installing the cleaner, clean your filter system:
Make sure you have cleaned the filter, including backwashing, rinsing, and emptying all baskets. A clean
system is necessary for proper cleaner operation and coverage.
Great White Installation and User’s Guide
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (continued)
General Installation Information (continued)
Before installing the cleaner, fill the hose with water:
Always make sure the cleaner head is submerged and the hose is full of water before connecting the hose to
the filtration system (whether through a skimmer or dedicated wall fitting). Air in the system can damage the
pump through dry running and overheating.
Before installing the cleaner, understand cleaner coverage:
The cleaner is designed to rid your pool of debris in approximately 4-6 hours. Less time could be needed,
depending on the pool size.
The cleaner was not designed to automatically clean steps or swimouts or to work under a solar cover. It was
also not designed to do initial cleanup for a new pool or when opening your pool for the season.
WARNING — Suction entrapment, injury, and drowning hazard. If your pool has a dedicated
suction port (“vac port”) for vacuuming or for an automatic pool cleaner, it must be
covered when not in use.
A spring loaded safety cover is included with your cleaner. Install it on the suction port to prevent entrapment
and injury.

2. Attaching swivel assembly to cleaner head
Installing the swivel assembly is a snap. Just insert it into the cleaner body and give it a quarter turn
(Figure 3). If you attach a unidapt handle to the swivel for manual vacuuming, be sure it is the special,
floating unidapt handle provided with the cleaner (Replacement Part No. GW9019). Use of a different
unidapt handle will hinder the cleaner’s performance.

Hose Assembly
Assemble the hose
The unit includes twelve sections of hose, each 4 feet (4’) in length (Figure 4). Do not cut the
hose lengths. You will need to connect these 4’ sections of hose to create a combined hose length that is
at least 4’ longer than the distance from your suction source (whether
skimmer or dedicated suction line) to the farthest point in the pool
(Figure 5). Connect the hoses by twisting and pushing the female ends
onto the male ends after wetting the ends in the pool (Figure 6). A
special “leader” hose section is designed to connect to the
cleaner’s swivel assembly and therefore has a larger hose cuff
than the other hose lengths (Figures 7 and 8). Failure to use this
leader hose section to attach the hose to the cleaner’s swivel assembly
Figure 4
will hinder your cleaner’s performance. If additional hose is needed,
use only hoses from your Pentair W ater Pool and Spa dealer (order replacement part No. 41200-0131).
Use of another manufacturer’s hose will hinder cleaner coverage.

Section 2
Installation
This section describes how to install the Great White pool cleaner . Great White is designed to work in a wide
variety of swimming pools. Both the standard in-skimmer installation and optional vac port installation are
covered below . If your pool configuration is unlike any of the examples, contact your Pentair W ater Pool and
Spa dealer for assistance, or call our toll-free Customer Helpline at 1-800-831-7133.
Standard Installation
For pools with one skimmer, using the vacuum regulator
The manufacturer recommends the Standard Inst allation through the pool’s skimmer (Figure 8)
The advantage of this installation is its use of the vacuum regulator (Figure 9) to balance the water
flow between the skimmer and the Great White pool cleaner . The vacuum regulator can be adjusted
to changes in the amount of water flow to provide Great White with the power necessary to ensure
proper cleaning performance, and the manufacturer strongly recommends its use for maximum safety
and performance.

1. Turn the pool pump off
2. Adjust valves for vacuuming
Adjust the pump valves (if your system has valves) to direct all suction to the skimmer . Close the main drain
and all suction lines, except the line from the skimmer to which Great White will be connected.
3. Remove the skimmer basket from the skimmer
4. Install vacuum regulator
WARNING! Hazardous suction. Can cause entrapment with severe personal injury or drowning.
Use the vacuum regulator in conjunction with your pool cleaner system at all times. The vacuum regulator
has an adjustment knob (Figure 9). If suction is too high, the knob is turned counterclockwise to decrease
the suction. If the suction is too low , the knob is turned clockwise to increase the suction.

Great White Installation and User’s Guide
Section 3
Operation
This section contains information describing the movement and operation of your Great White Cleaner , as
well as tips for “fine-tuning” your pool’ s valves and connections to optimize Great White’s cleaning ability .
Cleaner Operation and Movement
Clicking sound
This is the sound of the oscillator moving back and forth in the oscillator chamber. The best speed for it is
about 500 oscillations per minute. The vibration created by the oscillator moves the bristles and the cleaner .
If the oscillator is running too fast, the cleaner will have a tendency to climb up the pool wall past the
waterline, or “walk out of the pool” and suck air. Reduce the speed by adjusting the vacuum regulator in
the skimmer.
Movement around the pool
11
Random motion – The cleaner will visit most spots in the pool within a six (6) hour period. It is not
specifically programmed, and cannot see the dirt you are seeing. It is a random motion pattern.
The cleaner was designed to spend most of its time in the deep end, where most of the floor and wall area
exists. During a six (6) hour period, the cleaner will visit the shallow end a few times.
Rotating motion – The cleaner will rise up on one side and pivot a few times per minute. This is normal
and provides the following:
1. Allows leaves that are being pushed or dragged along to be sucked up into the vacuum chamber .
2. Allows the cleaner to:
Change direction
Get out of corners
Get away from ladders
Submerge below pool water level
Get off of domed main drain covers
Picks up “big stuff”
The cleaner will pick up some debris so large that it may jam. Simply stop the pump and remove the debris
from the oscillator, or the swivel assembly .
Great White Installation and User’s Guide

Fine-tuning valves and connections
WARNING! Pool pump suction is hazardous and can cause entrapment with severe personal
injury or drowning. Use vacuum regulator (see instructions below) in pool cleaner system at all times.
NOTICE: Each pool’s hydraulic system and vacuum connections are different. Be sure you have installed
the vacuum regulator before you “fine-tune” the system. This not only regulates vacuum, but also acts as a
safety device.
WARNING! Suction entrapment, injury, and drowning hazard. If your pool has a dedicated suction
port (“vac port”) for vacuuming or for an automatic pool cleaner, it must be covered when not in use.
A spring loaded safety cover (the “Vac Port Fitting”) is included with this pool cleaner. Install it on the vac port to
prevent entrapment and injury. For details please refer to the Vac Port Fitting instruction sheet included with
your cleaner.
For the novice pool owner for whom pool vacuuming is a new experience, please read all of the following
points, installation instructions, and trouble shooting guide carefully .
Please note the following:
• “V acuum” and “suction” are two words meaning the same thing.
• “Dedicated suction line”, “vac port”, and “vac fitting” are different terms for a hole in the side wall of
pool; this hole is connected to the pump suction and is dedicated to vacuuming.
• Some pools do not have a vac port. If your pool does have one, please read the “Suction Entrapment”
warning above.
For the seasoned pool owner: The automatic pool cleaner connection and vacuum adjustments can be
similar to using your manual pool vacuum. Please read on.
Valves (pump, skimmer, and main drain) and vacuum adjustments
Y ou may need to spend some time adjusting the skimmer and main drain valves in order to obtain the best
vacuum setting for good cleaner operation. Once you have found the correct valve settings for best
operation, we suggest you mark the valves to ensure repeated success.
At first, set valves to give maximum vacuum to the skimmer or vac fitting you have elected to use.
Too much vacuum?
Y ou have too much vacuum if the cleaner climbs up the pool wall past the water line to the point that the
cleaner sucks air and the pump loses prime. Frequent loss of prime will damage the pump. T o correct this,
adjust the regulator by turning the adjustment knob counterclockwise. This will decrease the suction. If the
cleaner still climbs out and sucks air, open the main drain valve slightly .
Great White Installation and User’s Guide
Fine-tuning valves and connections (continued)
Not enough vacuum?
Y ou don’t have enough vacuum if the cleaner moves sluggishly or not at all. Be sure the filter system is clean
and the regulator and all valves are adjusted to give you maximum vacuum. If the cleaner is still not moving,
your pump may not be strong enough to operate the cleaner. Please refer to “T roubleshooting” on Page 17.
In-Line leaf canisters
If your pool is exposed to large quantities of leaves, we suggest purchasing and installing an in-line leaf
canister (part no. R211084K). A leaf canister will provide more debris-loading capacity and also provides a
water by-pass when the canister is full. It is very important that the pump not starve for water!
Skimmer connection
For pools that have large quantities of “big stuff” to pick up, we suggest using the bottom of the skimmer
connection in conjunction with an in-line leaf canister (part no. R211084K). A leaf canister will provide
more debris-loading capacity and also provides a water by-pass when the canister is full. It is very
important that the pump not starve for water!
13
Skimmer vac plates
Some pool owners connect the hose to a skimmer vac plate, which allows the skimmer basket to remain in
the skimmer . If this method is used, empty the basket frequently. Also make sure that the vacuum regulator
provided is completely submerged so that it will not suck air and damage the pump.
Skimmer vac plate vacuum control adjusters
Some pool owners use one of a variety of manufacturer’s skimmer vac plates. Some have a vacuum control
adjuster, and some do not. The adjuster could be a screw-type, a spring loaded apparatus, or a dial design.
For those vac plates with adjusters, it is important to adjust them when fine tuning the vacuum for the
cleaner .

User Maintenance
This section describes the service and maintenance of the Great White cleaner .
WARNING! Hazardous suction. S top pump before attempting to clean pool cleaner.
• Keep skimmer basket and pump strainer basket clean and free of debris.
• If cleaner jams with large debris (leaves, sticks, etc.), try cleaning debris first from bottom of unit. If
this doesn’t clear unit, remove top swivel assembly (turn 1/4 turn) and clear the debris from the top.
• Remove the pool cleaner from the pool before super chlorinating (shocking) or chemical balancing.
W ait at least four hours after the chemical procedure before reinstalling the cleaner .
• Make sure that the cleaner’s brush bristles don’t become deformed during storage. S tore the unit so
that it doesn’t sit on the bristles and so that nothing compresses them.
• Do not coil the hose. Remove the hose from the cleaner when removing the cleaner from the pool.
Store the hose flat and straight.
• Periodically examine bristles and vacuum skirt for wear or distortion. Replace if necessary . See
"Reassembly", Page 15.
• Don't store the cleaner with the hose connected to the cleaner body or with the hose coiled. T o do
so will cause the hose to take a set or kink over a period of time. When reinstalled in the pool, the
hose will tend to stay coiled and will cause the cleaner to malfunction.
• If the hose has taken a set, uncoil it as far as possible without damaging it and lay it out in the sun for
several hours to straighten itself. Once it has relaxed and straightened out, store it laid out flat and
straight (no coiling).
• Make sure the lift brush is retracted during storage. If the lift brush is down during storage and the
cleaner rests on it, the brush bristles will collapse over time and the cleaner will no longer turn during
operation as it was designed to do.
15
Hose Storage
Correct: Hose stored correctly –
laid out straight, not connected to
cleaner.
Wrong: Storing cleaner with hose
connected will damage hose and
void the hose warranty.
