FAQs

Generally, cleaning isn't necessary. However, if substantial debris accumulates, you may need to rinse the cover. Be sure to let it dry completely before rolling it up. When storing, choose a location that's inaccessible to mice and ants to prevent potential damage from chewing.

Consider the following:

Most robotic cleaners have a one-hour and three-hour setting. The one-hour setting will run for one hour and clean only the bottom of the pool. The three-hour setting will run that amount of time and will clean the bottom and the walls.

The robotic cleaner is not designed to run on an extension cord. While it is not recommended, if you must use an extension cord, make sure the cord is as heavy-duty as possible and as short as possible.

Remove the cleaner from the pool after each time it is used and disconnect the cord. The bag should be removed and hosed off after each cleaning. If the bag is very dirty, it can be put in the washing machine on a gentle cycle with detergent, then put back on the robotic cleaner to dry.

Do not drag or roll the robotic cleaner over the pool deck. Scuffs or jagged edges on a cleaner can cut and damage liners. Inspect the robot often for any sharp or jagged edges!

At the end of the season, the robotic cleaner, cord, and power supply must be brought inside a warm garage or house for winter storage. Freezing will damage the robotic cleaner!

Pool water composition always includes some undesirable elements that contaminate the water and reduce the sanitizer efficiency. Material including hair spray, suntan oil, cosmetics, perspiration, and other organic materials react with the chlorine in the water to form combined chlorine.

Once combined chlorine forms it acts as a very poor disinfectant, contributing to eye and skin irritations and unpleasant chlorine odors. Swimming pools with this problem are often inaccurately accused of having too much chlorine.

Routine shock treatment is necessary to destroy combined chlorine compounds and restore the chlorine sanitizer to free chlorine efficiency. A swimming pool can be shock-treated by adding large doses of chlorine, commonly referred to as super chlorination.

Filtration, the mechanical system for removing visible matter from the water, is important to swimming pool quality because the filter removes hair, dirt, minute skin flakes, metal or calcium precipitates, and other visible debris. Without the filter, these things would cause the swimming pool water to be hazy and cloudy.

Usually, a normal, periodic rinse and backwashing will remove the majority of dirt from the otherwise clean filter. However, over time, grease, oils, and scale can attack and build up on the sand, causing short filter runs, reduced circulation, and swimming pool water that does not clear up. To prevent this, we recommend mid-season and end-of-season cleaning.
