Part Number: K12004
Application: Suction-side pool cleaner regulator valve kit

Installation & Compatibility Notes

Before installation, turn off the pool pump and relieve system suction. Remove the existing regulator valve (if present) and inspect the hose and skimmer connection areas. Install the new K12004 kit by connecting the hose side and skimmer side according to the moldings on the body, ensure proper seal and orientation, and restore circulation. Monitor the pool cleaner movement to verify correct operation after startup.

Maintenance Tips

Check the valve periodically for signs of wear, cracking or improper seating which can cause slower cleaner travel.
If the cleaner is oscillating too slowly or skipping, inspect this regulator as part of the diagnostic process.
Ensure the hose connection remains secure and free of kinks or restrictions to maintain proper suction flow.

Why Choose This Kit?

The K12004 kit provides a cost-effective, reliable replacement solution for maintaining optimal performance of suction clean-side automatic pool cleaners. Keeping the correct regulator ensures the cleaner travels properly, reduces missed spots, and supports smoother pool maintenance.
