The FlowKeeper™ valve is designed to provide proper constant flow to the ALPHA 3™ cleaner head. 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 from the factory at a setting of 6. The last fully exposed number is the setting the valve is at. The lower the number, the lower the flow to the cleaner head. Should re-adjustment become necessary, either pull up on the slide plate to raise the setting or lift the top edge of the slide plate and “walk” the plate down to a lower setting

Weight Adjustments
Even with the proper flow, a hose weight (part number 43260) may be necessary to balance the Alpha 3 cleaner head. If the Alpha 3 will not balance correctly in the deep end of the pool, (as shown below), turn off the pump and add the hose weight approximately 4 to 7 feet, or 1 1/2 to 2 hose sections away from the cleaner head.
