TRIVAC NORMAL OPERATION
The TriVac 500 (bottom/wall only) and 700 (when in bottom/wall mode) offers best
in class pool coverage. Its unique AquaDrive system enables the cleaner to easily
climb walls often reaching into areas such as sun shelves or benches that other
pressure cleaners simply can’t.
While most of the pool can be cleaned in 1 hour, 3 hours is considered normal for
complete coverage of a standard pool. The cleaning cycle should be extended on
pools with special features or shapes such as shelves, steps or swim-outs to allow
the TriVac to fully clean all surfaces.
Please note that TriVac will not operate properly on areas where the water is less
than 8” deep.
