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 flow from the hydroscrub jet tubes Remove the Bottom Lid Assembly. Check clear vinyl tubing for
( Figure 2, Item 6 ) have no pressure or obstructions, blockages and that each are securely connected to
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.
