Operating Instructions

Operating the Intex Pool and Spa Vacuum ZR100 is straightforward:

1. Submerge the Vacuum: Gently lower the vacuum into the water of your pool or spa.
2. Activate Power: Locate the IPX8 waterproof switch on the vacuum unit and turn it on. The vacuum will begin to operate once submerged.
3. Begin Cleaning: Guide the vacuum along the bottom and sides of your pool or spa to collect debris. The 12 gallons/45 liters water suction efficiently picks up dirt and particles.

4. Automatic Shut-off: The vacuum features an automatic shut-off function that activates when the unit is not submerged in water, helping to conserve battery life and prevent damage.
5. Monitor Performance: If the vacuum becomes harder to push or suction decreases, it indicates that the filter bag may be full and needs emptying.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your vacuum:

1. Empty and Clean Canister: After each use, or when suction decreases, remove the large canister and empty the collected debris. Rinse the canister and the micro-filter bag thoroughly with clean water.
