Common Questions & Instructions
How often should I run this cleaner?
For optimal maintenance, we recommend running your cleaner 2-3 times per week, specifically after heavy wind storms or landscape mowing.
Can I leave the cleaner in the pool full-time?
While convenient, prolonged exposure to heavy shock treatments and sustained UV will degrade the plastic. It's best to remove it after the cleaning cycle.
