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.
- Refer to the instructions enclosed with the remote control.
The cable is tangled
Dirty filters can affect movement of the robotic cleaner
- Make sure that all the filters are clean.
The filter access hatch underneath the robotic cleaner is not closed properly
- 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.
The PVA wheels are wearing out rapidly
The Chlorine level is not correct
- Check the Chlorine level, make sure that it is not too high.
- If the PVA brush is completely dissolved/ destroyed - contact your agency or online seller's customer service to replace it.
The pH level is not correct
- Check that the pH is between 7.0 and 7.4, adjust it if necessary.
- If the PVA brush is completely dissolved/ destroyed - contact your agency or online seller's customer service to replace it.
The robotic cleaner remained in the water while a water treatment was performed
- Make sure to take the robotic cleaner out of the pool before treating the water.
- If the PVA brush is completely dissolved/ destroyed - contact your agency or online seller's customer service to replace it.
The pool surface finish is very rough (cement/granite/pebbles)
- Contact your agency or online seller's customer service to replace the PVA brushes with PVC brushes.

The robotic cleaner does not cover the entire pool
The cable is not long enough to reach the far end of the pool, or the cable is too tangled
- Make sure that the cable is long enough to reach the end of the pool but not any longer than that.
- Check that the cable is not tangled.
The orientation of the robotic cleaner's handle may affect its travel under water
- Increase the diagonal angle of the handle by pressing on the handle pin and turning it.
