Vacuum Route

One card per pool. Connect the hose at the port marked VP or SP, begin at the red START marker, and work the vacuum head along the route in the direction of the arrows. Stop at the END flag.

How to read the card
StartFilled red dot. Always begin here.
Walk directionChevrons repeat along the whole route.
EndBlack flag. Route is complete.
Red lineWork it once, vacuuming as you go.
Deck and waterOrange is deck you walk on, blue is water.
LadderPool entry ladder. Work around its feet.
Black barPool divider between sections.
Dark blockPillar standing in the pool.
VP squareVacuum port. Connect the hose here.
Red zoneThe vacuum can’t reach it. When scrubbing, push the dirt out onto the open floor.
SP squareSkimmer port. Connect the hose here.
Yellow strokesVacuum head pattern. Overlap each pass, follow the numbers.
Photo pointStand at the badge and point the camera the way its arrow goes, along the coloured band. The time must show on every photo.
Green lineHigh wall. You cannot reach past it.
Red hatchingDeck too narrow to walk. Route skips it.

Pool 1: top right, just left of the ledge. Pool 2: top right, below the ledge — connect the hose at each pool’s own port

Red hatched decks are too narrow to walk — do not step on them. Finish pool 1 before moving. Nothing is vacuumed on the walk across to pool 2.

Why 2 routes
The pole can’t reach the far wall, so each half is done from its own side
Route 1
Inner part — from START 1 at the top of the inner deck, walk down, then left along the inner side of the bottom arm
Route 2
Outer part — from START 2 at the top of the right deck, walk down the right deck, then left along the bottom deck
End
Walk back along the bottom and up the right side to the port. Leave by the stairs you came in on
Vacuum pattern
Two routes, each in its own colour — follow the strokes 1–2. Overlap a little where the two halves meet
Watch for
Ladder in the top arm

The inner deck is for the technician only, and only for route 1 of the vacuum — walk carefully, it is narrow. The top deck is too narrow to walk — do not step on it.

Route

Shape
L-shaped pool, 2 vacuum ports
Route A
Green — hose on vacuum port 1 (bottom right), start by the stairs. Right along the bottom deck (4), up the right side, then step into the shallow ledge: left to the middle (5) and back along the top edge to the right end (6) — sections 4–6
Route B
Blue — hose on vacuum port 2 (top of the left leg). Step into the shallow ledge at the top left corner: along the top to the middle (1), back along the ledge (2), then down the outer deck, along the bottom and up the inner deck back to port 2 (3) — sections 1–3
Vacuum pattern
Six sections, each in its own colour — follow the strokes 1–6 in order, walking the blue and green lines. The dashed line down the middle is as far as each hose reaches. 1 left half of the shallow ledge, left to right up to the middle (walk in the ledge). 2 from the middle, the deep strip at the top of the left leg, right to left, then down the outer half of the leg. 3 inner half of the left leg, bottom to top. 4 far side of the deep part by the high wall, from the bottom deck, left to right towards vacuum port 1. 5 near side of the deep part, walking in the shallow ledge, right to left back to the middle. 6 right half of the shallow ledge, from the middle to the right end
Watch for
Two deep areas (right side and left leg) — that is why the pool is done in two halves, the far end is too hard to reach. Shallow ledge across the top, 4 pillars, high wall at the inner corner. Red zone beside the pillar in the left leg: the vacuum can’t reach it — when scrubbing, push the dirt out of it onto the open floor so it gets vacuumed

The purple high wall at the inner corner is not deck — nobody walks or works there, and the white patch behind it is closed off. Vacuum along the top ledge as well — it collects the most debris.
