I used to have a system like that. First thing is to remove the head unit. Do that by loosening the clamp and remove the cap. Then lift out the diverter. This should expose the pipes that go to the various jets. Install a rubber plug with air valve that is the correct size in the pipe and...

Just like I said when this first started....CYA too high, drain and refill. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T677A using Tapatalk

Cleaned off the top of the cover, pushed the button to open the automatic cover, replaced the plugs with eyeball jets, had the DW get a few leaves out of the pool, replaced the pump and filter plugs, turned on the pump did a little priming and everything came on and I was Happy, Happy, Happy...
