Introduction

The Prowler™ 710 Overview

Automatically clean your pool in 60 to 90 minutes or less

The fastest and most effective robotic cleaner in its class, the Prowler™ 710 features true “plug and play”
convenience. It operates totally independently of your pool’s circulation system to cover and clean any dimension,
form, or shape of inground pool up to 50 feet in length. A Jet Drive propulsion system with a single, powerful
motor drives the cleaner and enables the cleaner to roll along floors, up inclines to the waterline so long as there
is an adequate floor-to-wall angle (most vinyl lined pools) or radius of about 6 inches – from beginning of
radius to end – (most hard surface pools) in 60 to 90 minutes or less.

Scrubs, vacuums and filters your entire pool

The Prowler™ 710 works while you relax, freeing you from the drudgery of manual pool cleaning and the
drawbacks of more cumbersome and costly automatic cleaners. The Prowler™ 710 has a patented built-in
pump motor which powers the hydroscrubbing jets (jet streams of water). The hydroscrubbing jets stir up
dirt and debris for easy vacuuming by the cleaners’ suction power without any attention from you. Plus, the
Prowler™ 710 won’t get stuck by ladders and other underwater obstacles.

hard surface pools).

• Cleans any shape or type of pool in 60 to 90 minutes or less.

How your Prowler™ 710 Cleaner works

The patented built in pump motor provides the power for your cleaner’s jet drive propulsion and hydroscrubbing
jets. The hydroscrubbing jets, directed at the pool surface under your cleaner, stir up dirt and debris for easy
vacuuming by the cleaner’s suction power. All dirt from leaves to algae is collected in the internal filter bag for
easy removal. A simple patented axle tilting system allows your cleaner to alternate between straight and
curved movements, allowing the cleaner to clean the pool, in most cases, in 60 to 90 minutes or less! All you
have to do is place your cleaner in the pool, turn it on and periodically clean the filter bag.
