The pool pump provides more gallon per minute flow than your Zodiac 1500

requires. That's why we provide a way to regulate the flow. The FlowKeeper Valve is
self adjusting and provides a by-pass, so that the pool pump and the Zodiac 1500 run

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 at the two (2) setting. The lower the number, the
lower the flow to the cleaner head. Should readjustment become necessary, pull the
adjustment handle to raise or lower the setting. There are three total setting options.
