the supplied wheels or brushes are inserted in place.
Do not use without lter bag/seal ring and nose cap in place.
Replace damaged lter bag/seal ring promptly.
Avoid picking up hard, sharp objects with the vacuum. They may damage the vacuum and the lter bag.

Your cleaner has a unique patented vacuum head which has been supplied from the factory with all eleven (11) wheels and all six (6) brushes in-
stalled. This conguration should function well to clean most pools. The vacuum head can be adapted for specic pool surface situations varying
the number and placement of wheels and brushes..
NOTE: Inserting the wheels into the vacuum head may require a good deal of force. If you have trouble, you may nd it easier to insert them by
placing on a hard surface and pushing down on the head.
Wheels and/or Brushes must be installed prior to use. Water Tech is NOT responsible for damages to pool surfaces if neither the
wheels nor brushes are installed in the vacuum head before use.
Installing the Filter Bag
Please follow these instructions carefully:
• Place the cleaner on its end on a stable and secure surface.
• Place the lter bag/seal ring (part no.PROW022AP) into the cleaner. Make sure the rubber seal ring sits on the funnel. All of the lter bag
must be inside the funnel to ensure the head closes fully.
• Put the nose cap (part no.PROA002) on the funnel.
• Close the latch, squeezing the lter bag/seal ring in between.
NOTE: You should not need to apply excessive force in order to close the latch. If you have trouble, make sure the lter bag is not trapped in
between the seal and the nose cap or funnel and there are no other obstructions such as sand or debris.
Installing the Battery Pack
• Remove the Motor Box Cap
• Line up the guides on the Battery Pack and on the switch plate. Apply gently pressure until the Battery Pack is seated properly. If you
encounter resistance, Remove the battery Pack, check alignment of the guides and apply gentle pressure again until battery is in place.
• Replace the Motor Box Cap. Please note that the Motor Box Cap is designed to be installed in one orientation.
Once your cleaner is set-up for use, you may put it in your pool or spa.
• Bring your cleaner to the side of the Pool or Spa and turn it “ON”
by twisting the Motor Box Cap clockwise.
• This appliance is designed to be in water only when in the “ON” position
and has battery power. Never leave your cleaner in the water when it is off.
NOTE: Lift the cleaner from pool with the nose facing up to allow the water to escape from the back and sides while trapping debris inside the unit.

WARNING: Never use your cleaner without the lter bag/seal ring and nose cap properly in place. Doing so will VOID the warranty.
Using a standard pole
The pole attachment on your cleaner is designed to accommodate any standard
1.25” diameter pole. To attach a pole, simply press down on the alignment pins
on the pole retaining spring clip. Aligning the holes, slide the pole onto the
cleaner and release the clip.
WARNING: Do not lean on pole or use pole to support weight.
Cleaning Your Cleaner
For maximum cleaning efciency the lter bag/seal ring should be checked, emptied, and cleaned after each use or whenever you notice that the
performance of your cleaner is declining.
To clean the lter bag/seal ring
• Place the cleaner on its end (remove the vacuum pole, if attached).
• Unlatch the Nosecap.
• Remove the lter bag/seal ring by pulling it out of the funnel .
• Invert the lter bag/seal ring and rinse with a garden hose or in a sink.
Note: Do not clean in a washing machine or with detergent.
• Re-insert the lter bag when nished.
• Note: Your reusable lter bag should be replaced if the seal ring is worn or if
the bag is torn.
WARNING: Keep away from children. Failure to comply with these warnings could result in re and/or serious injury.
WARNING: When servicing user serviceable parts, use only identical Water Tech replacement parts. Use of any other parts may
create a hazard or cause product damage.

Important Tips:
• Store your cleaner in a clean, dry place when not in use. Do not leave it underwater, in direct sunlight, or exposed to extreme heat or
cold.
• You may clean the cleaner body with soap and water. Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to
damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease
etc.
• The Motor Box Gasket should be periodically lubricated with a silicon-based grease
• General maintenance of your cleaner requires you occasionally clean off the gasket on the Motor Box Cap and add silicone lubricant/seal-
ant. This will ensure easier turning and a water-tight seal. This lubricant is available at your local pool & spa retailer.
• In the Nose Cap (Part No. PROA002) there is a Flapper Valve. To keep the Nose Cap Flapper Valve moving freely, clean the valve after
every use. This will help to keep dirt inside the cleaner after the cleaner is removed from the poo
CAUTION: Do not at any time let brake uids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc. come in contact with plastic parts.
They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic.
WARNING: Do not attempt to modify this tool or create accessories not approved for use with this tool. Any such alteration or modication
is misuse and could result in a hazardous condition leading to possible serious injury. Do not attempt in any way to destroy or disassemble motor
box or any of its components. Instead, take your cleaner to an authorized service center. Failure to follow these instructions may void your warranty
agreement.
Service Information
NOTE: Any repairs requiring disassembly must be performed by a Water Tech Authorized Service Center. For the repair center nearest you call us
toll free at 1-800-298-8800. Unauthorized repairs will void the warranty.
Storing the Cleaner
NOTE: State of the art Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries power the cleaner. In order to properly ventilate and cool the batteries and drive system a
certain amount of space is left open in the cleaner body. As a result, from time to time, water may enter the unit. In order to allow for any water to be
drained you should remove the Motor Box Cap after each use, turn the machine on end so the opening is towards the oor and tilt side to side in all
directions. The amount of water may be very small or not noticed at all. Water entering the cleaner body presents no safety hazard and should be
drained to avoid any chance of long-term corrosion. The batteries and motor in the cleaner are long lasting and proper care will help to prolong the
life of your appliance.
NOTE: Remove Battery Pack from the charger before storage.
When not in use, your cleaner should be stored indoors, in a clean dry location sheltered from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures and rain. Do
not store the cleaner in a garage or anywhere the unit could freeze. Storing the cleaner in areas of high humidity can affect battery performance over
time.
Long Term Storage
Follow the above storage instructions and unplug the charger from the electrical outlet.
When charging for the rst time after long-term storage, your cleaner may take 2-3 uses before full time is achieved.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can my cleaner be run out of water?
A: Yes, for a short period of time when you turn it on before submering into your pool or spa.
Q: When I am cleaning my pool how do I know when the cleaner is out of battery power?
A: Most people can feel the cleaner is running through vibration in the vacuum pole or handle. To be sure you can lift it out of the water to hear if it is
running or not.
Q: How often should I clean out my cleaner’s lter bag?
A: You can clean your lter bag as often as you like with no ill effects. The lter bag can then be turned inside out and rinsed with a hose or in
a sink. Do not wash it in a washing machine or with detergent. For more detailed instructions, see “Cleaning Your Cleaner” instructions in this
manual. For best results, do this after each use, or whenever you notice the performance of your cleaner declining.
Q: Is it normal for me to hear air escaping out of the cleaner when I open the Motor Box Cap?
A: Yes, the powerful motors heat the air in the motor box, which then expands, creating the air sound.
Q: How can I stop dirt from coming out of the nozzle when I take the cleaner out of the water?
A: There are two ways to remove the unit from the pool when done cleaning:
WHEN USING HANDLE: Lift from pool with the nose facing up to allow the water to escape from the back and sides.
WHEN USING A VACUUM POLE: Remove the unit from the pool with the bottom facing upwards and the handle facing down. This will allow the
water to escape and keep the dirt inside.
Q: How can I Prevent sand and silt from escaping through the lter bag?
A: This cleaner comes standard with an all-purpose lter bag. A Sand and Silt bag (Part No. PROW022SS) is available. To purchase contact your
retailer or call us at 1-800-298-8800.
Q: What if I put the cleaner in the pool without the Motor Box Cap in place?
A: Do not operate your cleaner if water gets inside the machine. Drain all unit from the cleaner. Do not use for at least 24 hours. You can speed the
drying process with a blow dryer set on the “low heat” setting.. To avoid serious injury or damage, do not replace the Motor Box Cap or attempt to
charge or operate your cleaner until it is completely dry.
Q: Can I leave my cleaner’s battery pack on the charger all the time?
A: After charging is complete, the Battery Pack and charger should be removed from the outlet. This will prevent overcharging and prolong the life of
your battery pack. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the charger before storing your cleaner.
Q: Where can I buy replacement parts?
A: Look for original Water Tech replacement parts at your local retailer or call 1-800-298-8800 for more details.
Q: Will my pool chemicals hurt the cleaner?
A: This cleaner is designed to withstand pool chemicals during its usage period. However, it should be rinsed off with fresh water after it is removed
from the pool. This will increase the life of the lter bag/seal ring.
Q: Can I leave the cleaner in the pool when not in use?
A: No. The cleaner should be removed from the pool and stored in a clean, dry place when not in use. This will increase the life of your cleaner and
its accessories.
Q: What do I do if my cleaner does not vacuum?
A: Make sure your cleaner is completely submerged in the water and the air is out of the clear funnel. The cleaner is only designed to vacuum water
and will not vacuum air. If that does not resolve your situation please check the following:
• Make sure the lter bag is clear of debris that may be obstructing the ow.
• Make sure the Motor Box Cap has been installed correctly.
• Charge your cleaner for at least 24 hours.
If none of the above help resolve the situation, please call our Customer Service Division at 1-800-298-8800.
