Operating Instructions

• The charger has an indicator light. Ensure the charging port is dry before connecting.

Understanding the Cleaning Modes

The VIVOHOME pool vacuum offers two cleaning modes for different debris types.

Switch between Algae Cleaning Mode (H-Max) for fine algae and Daily Cleaning Mode (Q-Max) for general debris.

• Daily Cleaning Mode (Q-Max): Standard mode for general debris like leaves, sand, and small particles.
• Algae Cleaning Mode (H-Max): Designed for more thorough removal of fine algae.
• Select the appropriate mode based on the type and amount of debris in your pool.

Using the Vacuum

The cordless design provides maximum freedom of movement.

The cordless design and adjustable telescopic pole (up to 2.5m) allow for easy and flexible cleaning of all pool areas.

The brush head is effective for pool walls, floors, and steps, while the brushless head is ideal for corners and crevices.

• Submerge the vacuum into the pool. The minimum operating depth is 40 cm.
• Turn on the vacuum using the power switch.
• Guide the vacuum across the pool surfaces to collect debris.
• Use the brush head for general cleaning of walls, floors, and steps.
• Remove the brush head to use the brushless head for cleaning tight corners and crevices.
• The powerful 40W motor and 4300 L/H suction efficiently remove sand, leaves, small twigs, pebbles, and insects.

The vacuum's powerful suction and large opening effectively capture sand, small twigs, pebbles, insects, and leaves.

Light Indicator

The vacuum features a light indicator to show its status:

The light indicator shows green for operation, flashing red for low battery (<20%), and solid red for critical battery (<10%).

• Green Light: The vacuum is operating normally.
• Red Light Flashes (10s): Battery is low (below 20%).
• Solid Red Light: Battery is critically low (below 10%). Recharge the vacuum.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Filter Bags

Regular cleaning of the filter bags is crucial for optimal performance.

The vacuum features a reusable filter that is detachable for easy cleaning, and a replaceable brush.

• After each use, remove the filter bag from the vacuum.
• Rinse the filter bag thoroughly with clean water to remove all collected debris.
• Allow the filter bag to dry completely before reinserting it into the vacuum or storing it.
• The vacuum includes four 2.6L filter bags: two 180-micron bags for large debris, one 300-micron bag for fine dirt and algae, and one 500-micron bag for micro-algae.

Choosing the Right Filter

Select the appropriate filter mesh for different types of debris:

Use 180 mesh filters for coarse filtration (twigs, insects, sand, leaves), 300 mesh for fine filtration (mud, some algae), and 500 mesh for ultra-fine filtration (algae). Note: Not suitable for large surface algae or large fresh leaves.

• 180 Mesh (x2): Ideal for coarse debris such as twigs, insects, sand, soft decomposed leaves, and small fresh leaves.
• 300 Mesh (x1): Suitable for fine filtration, including mud and some algae.
• 500 Mesh (x1): Best for ultra-fine filtration, specifically for micro-algae.

Note: This vacuum is not designed for cleaning large surface algae or large fresh leaves.

Anti-Return Valve

The improved anti-return valve prevents debris from flowing back into the pool.

The anti-return valve ensures a complete and effective cleaning process by preventing debris backflow.

• The anti-return valve automatically closes when the vacuum is lifted from the water, ensuring that collected debris remains in the filter bag.
• This system ensures a complete and effective cleaning process.
