5. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for effective and safe operation of your Swolace PJV30 handheld pool vacuum.
- Prepare the Pool: Ensure the pool water level is adequate and free of large debris that could clog the vacuum.
- Submerge the Vacuum: Slowly lower the assembled vacuum into the pool water until it is completely submerged. Important: The vacuum must be fully submerged before turning it on.
- Activate the Vacuum: Locate the power switch (usually near the handle) and turn the vacuum ON. You should hear the motor start and feel suction.
- Begin Cleaning: Guide the vacuum along the bottom and sides of your pool, moving slowly to allow the vacuum to pick up debris effectively.

- Finish Cleaning: Once cleaning is complete or the battery runs low, turn the vacuum OFF.
- Remove from Water: Carefully lift the vacuum out of the water. Allow excess water to drain.
