Introduction

The Prowler720 and 730 Overview

Vacuums what you can see, filters what you can’t...

Prowler720 and 730 are the computer-controlled, programmed cleaners that scrub and vacuum your pool’s bottom, walls and steps and provides supplemental filtration of pool water.

Powerful, efficient, and smart!

The Prowler720 and 730 features the patented Aqua Smart System. This intelligent program enables the cleaner to fully cover and efficiently clean any standard residential swimming pool in approximately one hour (90 minutes for larger residential pools). The high-speed drive motor propels the unit across pool surfaces while a high-efficiency pump motor delivers thorough, economical cleaning performance.

Totally independent of your pool circulation system, the Prowler720 and 730 provide on-demand cleaning without running pumps. It requires no installation, no booster pump, no hoses. Just plug it in and place it in your pool…it’s a totally self-contained cleaning and filtration system.

Two-way cleaning with remote control convenience

The Prowler 730Remote Control provides the ultimate in automatic pool cleaning convenience. The wireless radio remote control system provides two automatic cleaning options – one for the pool bottom and a second for the bottom and sides. Remote control functions allow you to override the automatic cleaning modes to perform quick spot clean-ups. Simply guide the cleaner to any area of the pool with the touch of a button.

No other cleaner is so simple.

No other cleaner provides such a complete cleaning job at such a low operating cost.

Operating the Prowler720 and 730 Cleaners

WARNING — Your Cleaner should not be used while people are swimming in the pool. The cable can trip or entangle swimmers which could result in drowning.

WARNING — Risk of electrical shock or electrocution.

A Ground Fault Current Interrupter (GFCI-USA) or a Residual Current Device (RCD-EUROPE) must be installed to protect your electric outlet and to prevent any possible electrical shock. Failure to do so could create an electrical hazard which could result in death or serious injury to pool or spa users, installers, or others due to electrical shock, and may also cause damage to property.

CAUTION — DO not switch the pool cleaner to “ON” if it is not fully immersed in water. Operating the cleaner out of water will immediately cause severe damage and will result in loss of warranty.

Allow the cleaner to remain in the pool for 15 to 20 minutes following the end of its cleaning cycle. This will allow the motors to cool adequately. Do not leave the cleaner in the pool all the time. Always remember to turn the power supply “OFF” and unplug it from the power outlet before removing the cleaner from the pool.
