Troubleshooting
Use the following troubleshooting information to resolve possible problems with your Prowler™ 710 pool cleaner.
Problem | Corrective Action |
|
|
Slower motion or inefficient vacuuming. | Check to see if the Filter Bag is thoroughly clean. |
| FYI: The Fine Filter Bag is capable of filtering particles 20 times |
| smaller than the naked eye can see. Therefore, thorough cleaning |
| of the bag may be required! |
| NOTE: Use the Fine Filter Bag to trap smaller debris such as |
| algae, bacteria, sand and silt. Use the Mesh Filter Bag to trap |
| larger debris such as leaves, acorns, twigs and pine needles. It |
| may be necessary to rinse with high pressure water and wring the |
| Filter Bag in a bucket of clean water. Rinse, wring, squeeze dry |
| and repeat until the rinse water is clear. |
| Check to see if the Intake Valve Flaps (Figure 11 on page 10) on |
| the bottom of the cleaner are free to open and close. These Flaps |
| should move easily to allow the entry of water and debris. |
| If you are not satisfied yet, remove the bag, reinstall the Bottom Lid |
| (without the Bag), and run it in the pool. If the cleaner moves |
| quickly, this is an indication that your Bag is not clean enough, and |
| you must repeat the cleaning instructions until the Bag is clean. |
|

water coming out from them. | the Pump Motor Housing. If tubes are obstructed or blocked, then |
| remove the tubing from the pump housing by gently pulling the |
| tubing from the pump. The tube is not glued in place. After the tube |
| is removed, you can clear blockage by running water through the |
| tube using the pressure from a garden hose. Be sure to replace the |
| tubing securely. |
|
|
Does not cover the entire pool. | Adjust the timing cycle on the Power Supply so that the Pentair |
| cleaner reaches the other side of the pool, (preferably to waterline), |
| and remains there for approximately 2 seconds before changing |
| direction. |
| Check to see if the Filter Bag is clean and not clogged with debris. |
| (Especially fine dirt). |
| Check to see if the wheel rotation and axle movement is free of |
| obstructions like hair, string or accumulated debris. |
| Check to see if the Floating Cable has adequate length to reach all |
| sides of the pool and is not tangled, or hooked, as this will limit the |
| movement of the cleaner. |
