FAQ

We help you trou­bleshoot your robotic pool cleaner

My robotic cleaner is not working at all

Maybe there is no elec­tricity in the socket

  • Discon­nect the robotic cleaner power supply from the socket for 30 seconds, then plug the robotic cleaner back in and switch it back on. If it still doesn't work, try another socket. 

Maybe the robotic cleaner's floating cable is not prop­erly connected 

  • Recon­nect the robotic cleaner cable to the power supply.

Some­thing could be obstructing the free move­ment of the drive belts, drive tracks or wheels 

  • Flip the robotic cleaner upside down and try to rotate the wheels by hand, remove any debris from the drive system (hair, leaves, etc.).

The impeller could be seized by an accu­mu­la­tion of hair

  • Discon­nect the robotic cleaner from the power supply. Remove the upper screws from the top of the robotic cleaner and check that the impeller does not need to be cleaned. (DO NOT use elec­tric screw­drivers for this oper­a­tion, use hand tools only).

The motor or the pump is faulty

  • Turn the robotic cleaner upside down and try to switch it back on - check that the pump and the motor start.

The power supply or the robotic cleaner still do not work

  • Return the robotic cleaner to your agency or contact your online seller's customer service. 

The robotic cleaner moves, but...

The robotic cleaner moves but does not pump water - the impeller is broken or seized by an accu­mu­la­tion of hair:

  • Discon­nect the robotic cleaner power supply before performing this inter­ven­tion.
  • Remove the screws from the top of the robotic cleaner and check that the impeller is not broken or in need of cleaning.
  • When replacing the robotic cleaner cover, use hand tools only. DO NOT USE power tools for this oper­a­tion. 
  • If following this inter­ven­tion, the robotic cleaner is still not working prop­erly, return it to your agency or contact your online seller's customer service. 

The robotic cleaner moves but does not pump water - the filters are very dirty

  • Remove the filter and start it without the filter. If it works well, clean the filter thor­oughly or replace it. 

The robotic cleaner starts correctly and then stops after a short time - the filters are very dirty

  • Remove the filter and start it without the filter. If it works well, clean the filter thor­oughly or replace it.
  • Some­times, the filter can be clogged altough if looks clean. To clean it, soak it in soapy water for 30 minutes and then gently rub the inner surface.

The robotic cleaner travels on 2 wheels at the start of or during the cleaning cycle - the pool surface is too smooth

  • Remove the float in the robotic cleaner.
  • Check that the pH of the pool water is between 7.0 and 7.4 and correct it if neces­sary.

The robotic cleaner travels on 2 wheels at the start of or during the cleaning cycle - the pool surface is too rough

  • Return your robotic cleaner to your agency or contact your online seller's customer service and ask for PVC wheels.

 

The robotic cleaner does not move, but...

The robotic cleaner does not move but does pump water - debris is preventing rota­tion of the wheels/ belts 

  • Turn the wheels by hand.
  • Clean them and remove any debris.

The robotic cleaner does not move but does pump water - the internal drive tracks or drive belts are worn

  • Check the teeth of the master and slave drive belts.
  • Return the robotic cleaner if the teeth are worn.

The robotic cleaner does not mount the walls

The robotic cleaner is not designed to mount the pool walls

  • Check that your robotic cleaner is not a floor cleaning only model: if you see the refer­ence REFL on the product label, your robotic cleaner is not designed to mount the pools walls. 

The filters are dirty

  • Remove the filter and start the robotic cleaner in the pool without it. If it works well, clean the filter. Some­times, the filter may be clogged even though it looks clean.

The impeller is broken or seized by an accu­mu­la­tion of hair

  • Discon­nect the robotic cleaner power supply before performing this inter­ven­tion.
  • Remove the screws above the water outlet and wheck that the impeller is not broken or in need of cleaning.
  • When replacing the robotic cleaner cover, use hand tools only. DO NOT USE power tools for this inter­ven­tion.

The Chlo­rine level is not correct

  • Check the Chlo­rine level. If it is very low, carry out a shock treat­ment.
  • Remove the robotic cleaner from the pool while adjusting the Chlo­rine level.

The pH level is not correct

  • Check that the pH level is between 7.0 and 7.4, correct it if neces­sary.
  • Remove the robotic cleaner from the pool while adjusting the pH level.

The water temper­a­ture is not optimal

  • Check the water temper­a­ture: if it is less than 13° C, adjust the floats depending on the robotic cleaner model.

The remote control does not work

The batteries are empty

  • Check the batteries by pressing the buttons, the red indi­cator light on the remote control will not light up if the batteries are empty.
  • Replace the remote control batteries.

The remote control is not paired with the power supply

  • Pair the remote control with the robotic cleaner power supply.

  • Make sure that the hatch is closed prop­erly.

The cable was tangled before the robotic cleaner was placed in the pool

  • Make sure that the cable is spread out and untan­gled before placing the robotic pool cleaner in the pool.

There is too much cable in the pool

  • Make sure that the cable is long enough to reach the end of the pool, but no longer than this. 
  • For example, in a 10 m x 5 m pool with the power supply in the middle, do not put more than 6 m of cable in the pool.

The impeller is broken or seized by an accu­mu­la­tion of hair

  • Discon­nect the robotic cleaner power supply before carrying out this inter­ven­tion.
  • Remove the screws on top of the robotic cleaner and check that the impeller is not broken or in need of cleaning.
  • When replacing the robotic cleaner cover, use hand tools only. DO NOT USE power tools for this inter­ven­tion.
