PROWLER® 930W Robotic Inground Pool Cleaner Installation and Maintenance Guide
ii
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 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, 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
is not responsible for any pattern removal, abrasions
or markings on vinyl liners.

About your Pool and Cleaner
There are a multitude of factors that contribute to the
life of your pool. These robotic pool cleaners are very
passive products 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. Robotic pool cleaners 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 cleaner. 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.
