How the Gamma 4 In-Floor Cleaning Head Works

Pentair A&A in-floor cleaning systems use strategically positioned cleaning heads to direct water across the swimming pool floor.

As the system cycles between cleaning zones, the Gamma 4 cleaning heads rise and direct pressurized water along the pool surface.

The water movement helps move dirt, sand, and other settled debris toward the pool's collection system.

When the cleaning zone is inactive, the heads retract into their floor fittings.

Adjustable Water Flow

The Pentair Gamma 4 features an adjustable outlet that allows the water flow opening to be configured for the installation.

Adjusting the outlet can help accommodate different cleaning zone requirements and system operating conditions.

The correct adjustment depends on the pool's hydraulic design, available pressure, and cleaning requirements.

Important: Follow Pentair's adjustment instructions when setting the cleaning head orifice. Improper settings may affect cleaning performance and system water distribution.

When to Replace Your In-Floor Cleaning Head

Replacement may be necessary when the original cleaning head becomes damaged or no longer operates correctly.

• Cleaning head does not rotate or index correctly.
• Head remains stuck in the raised position.
• Cleaning head does not retract properly.
• Water outlet is cracked or damaged.
• Internal components are excessively worn.
• Cleaning performance has decreased due to head damage.
• Original cleaning head is broken or missing.

Troubleshooting: Poor in-floor cleaning performance can also result from clogged plumbing, insufficient water pressure, worn water valve components, or debris around the floor fitting. Inspect the complete system before replacing parts.

Pentair offers several Gamma cleaning head configurations for different hydraulic applications.
