GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION
Pre-installation check list
Before installing your cleaner, review and understand all warnings and safety information in this guide. Failure to follow these instructions or improper installation of the cleaner can result in damage to the pool finish or the vinyl liner, Pentair Water Pool and Spa, Inc. disclaims any liability for repairs or replacement to any of these structures
or components of the customer’s pool.
Before installing the cleaner in a vinyl liner pool:
Check liner closely for signs of deterioration or damage from age, chemicals, pool wall damage, etc. If any damage is found, have a qualified pool professional make all the necessary repairs. Also, if there are stones, roots, etc., under the liner, remove them before installing the cleaner.
Before installing the cleaner in a gunite pool or a pool that is partially or completely tiled:
Repair loose tiles and tighten any loose light rings.
Before installing the cleaner, clean your filter system:
Make sure you have cleaned the filter, including backwashing, rinsing, and emptying all baskets. A clean system is necessary for proper cleaner operation and coverage.
Before installing the cleaner, fill the hose with water:
Always make sure the cleaner head is submerged and the hose is full of water before connecting the hose to the filtration system (whether through a skimmer or dedicated wall fitting). Air in the system can damage the pump through dry running and overheating.
Before installing the cleaner, understand cleaner coverage:
The cleaner is designed to rid your pool of debris in approximately 4-6 hours. Less time could be needed, depending on the pool size. The cleaner was not designed to automatically clean steps or swimouts or to work under a solar cover. It was also not designed to do initial cleanup for a new pool or when opening your pool for the season.
AFTER installing the cleaner, make sure the cleaner is operating correctly :
The cleaner may need some minor adjustments to make sure it is operating properly so there is no damage to the pool finish. Certain vinyl liner patterns are particularly susceptible to surface wear, pattern removal, ink rubbing off of, or serious scratches to the pattern caused by objects coming into contact with the vinyl surface, including automatic pool cleaners. Pentair Water Pool and Spa, Inc. is not responsible for any pattern removal, abrasions or markings on vinyl liners.

This limited warranty does not include replacement of parts which become discolored due to exposure to sunlight or chemicals, or parts which, even if worn, do not affect performance of the cleaner. Nicks, scratches, fading, discoloration, etc. are cosmetic conditions that do not affect mechanical performance. Both Manufacturer and Pentair Water Pool and Spa’s dealer reserve the right to deny any and all warranty claims made for worn parts if the wear does not negatively affect mechanical performance of the cleaner.
The Cleaner is designed to function in a properly designed, constructed and maintained pool. This limited warranty does not extend in the circumstances where the pool’s design, construction or maintenance is defective, substandard or inappropriate for the Cleaner’s operation.
Deterioration, discoloration or brittleness of any pool finish can be caused over time separately by, or in combination with, age, an imbalance in water chemistry, improper installation, and other factors. Customer hereby disclaims any and all claims, and releases Manufacturer from any and all claims for damages to any pool plaster or vinyl liner in Customer’s pool by reason of the use and/or operation of the Cleaner.
Under no circumstances shall Manufacturer be liable for any loss or damage, whether direct, consequential or incidental, arising out of the use or inability to use the Cleaner or the Hose in Customer’s pool.
This limited warranty does not apply to any injury, loss, damage, defect, or malfunction of the Cleaner or failure to function resulting from any failure to operate or maintain the Cleaner in accordance with the directions contained in the Installation and Operation Manual or operating instructions provided by Pentair Water Pool and Spa or any injury, loss, damage, defect, or malfunction, or failure to function resulting from any accident, acts of God, alterations in the Cleaner by anyone other than Manufacturer; or misuse, unreasonable use, tampering, abuse, acts, omissions, failure or negligence by anyone other than Manufacturer including but not limited to such damages or injuries to parts resulting from improper installation, or damage to pump parts resulting from running the pump dry (e.g., interruption in or inadequate supply of water to internal pump parts due to loss of prime, or obstruction in lines or otherwise); or damage, defect or malfunction resulting from defects in, failure or malfunction of, or negligence, abuse, or misuse with respect to equipment other than the Cleaner; or any damage or loss of any nature whatsoever and personal injury caused due to the presence of a foreign object in or about the pool.
Disclaimer of Liability
About Your Pool and Prowler® 710
There are a multitude of factors that contribute to the life of your pool. The Prowler® 710 robotic pool cleaner is a very passive product that will have no impact on pool life.
Please be aware that over time, deterioration, discoloration and brittleness of any pool finish can be caused separately by, or in combination with, age, an imbalance in pool water chemistry, improper installation and other factors.Arobotic pool cleaner, such as Prowler®710, will not remove or cause wear on “good” pool plaster. In fact, the opposite is true–pool plaster will eventually cause wear on the cleaner.
The same situation holds true for vinyl-lined in-ground swimming pools, because vinyl liners are also affected by the environment and factors such as pool water chemistry, sunlight and the pool’s surroundings. Therefore over time, vinyl can become brittle and weak. In addition, vinyl-lined pools are affected by the workmanship, composition and installation of the liner and the workmanship and quality of construction of the supporting walls and pool base. These are all factors which can contribute to liner failure. The existence of any of these type of conditions in your pool is not caused by the use or operation of the Prowler® 710. The manufacturer disclaims any liability for repairs or replacement to any of these structures or components of the customer’s pool.
The pool owner must assume all responsibility for the condition and maintenance of the pool’s surface, water and deck.

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.
