We are renting a house with an in ground pool. It has a Polaris 340 automatic pool cleaner. I have searched everywhere on the net for an owners manual and can't seem to find one. Can anyone steer me in the right direction? Or tell me how to use it?

Answer
try contacting stores that sell pools and accessories. maybe they can be of assistance.

How do i use the manual pool cleaner for my inground pool?

How should i set the skimmer/pool drain valves? Should i turn off the pool drain and have all the water being sucked from one skimmer? or keep both skimmers sucking in water and leave the drain off?

Our automatic pool cleaner is not working correctly and i have never had to manually clean the pool before :-/

Answer
Skimmer/drain valve to all skimmer and then all suction to only one skimmer. This provides the maximum possible suction for the pool vac. If that turns out to be so much suction that it is hard to push the vac across the pool floor, then adjust the valve to allow a little suction at the other skimmer.

There isn't really a standard design for in ground pools - they have different configurations of drains, skimmers, pumps, filters. You find what works for yours and go with that.
